Just noticing that links posted in this board in the new format do not open a new browser window...it's a pain in the ass to hit the back button when you've just gone through several pages of photos from an album.

Probably easiest to just right-click the link and select open in new window/tab to control it manually ...

Hmm...that's interesting. I will have a look to see if there's a setting that will do that. In the meantime, most modern browsers allow you to open a window a new tab by middle-clicking on the link. I know this is not exactly the same as opening a new window but it should be a workaround for your problem. Firefox has this behaviour by default and I'm pretty sure ie.7 does it too.

I hope that helps!

Thats the problem Nem. With your wonderful new tabbed browsers the links aren't opening a new TAB like they used to.

What on earth is middle-clicking?

Using the wheel-mouse button to click on a link.

I always right click a link and select open in a new tab (used to be new window). Always done it because people who write websites too often make the link open in the same window, its a property you can set in the link / page when you write it and I've never understood people who allow links to open in their own page, thus the right-clicking.

MY middle click is my ZOOOOOM feature. Very handy if you want to count the freckles on your favorite porn queen.

I'm only posting to see if it creats a little black dot on the contents page. I am intrigued as to what it means, and thought perhaps it means I have posted in that thread.

Hehe, I came to the same conclusion myself. Clever, aren't we?
