I'm just being nitpicky here, and I don't know how this works exactly, but is it possible to make all links in comments, when clicked on, open in a new tab possibly? I don't want to sound like a pest or anything but whenever I click a link here, I, on instinct, close the tab and leave the website by accident. this happens all the time :P. I dunno if I'm the only one who does this and this would be really embarrassing if I was, but hey! maybe this could be a thing??

I normally just right click and press T (or click "open in new tab") for most links I click on every webpage everywhere.

Ctrl+click works 90% of the time too

Woah, you just streamlined my life.

Anyhow, it's pretty normal for links that you click to open in the same window. I think it would be bad design to start making special exceptions for links in various places. I think the lack of consistency is confusing, on websites that do this. (Especially since the user can easily control it themselves, as I mentioned.)

i think the general standard (on most sites) is that links to other pages on the same site open in the same tab, links off-site open in new tabs?

but yeaeh i dont care personally because i just ctrl-clix

Middle mouse button also opens in new tab in most browsers.

yeah I usually use the middle mouse button, it's not really a habit of mine though and I end up closing the botb tab after clicking a link because it IS a habit to do that because of other sites that open them in new tabs, haha

This literally took me 10 minutes to do and I often too have closed my precious BotB window on accident for the same reason.

It's now an option in your settings; defaulted to OOF!!

thanks puke!!!!!!

On this day in BotB history: puke7 makes everybody happy, at the same time, somehow!
