If it's possible, could someone please please please change it so that when we click links in the forum it opens up a new page instead of staying on the same page and then me losing where I was on the forum.

Hope I explained that ok, it just bugs me a lot, might be just me though :D

That is mostly done within your browser, though some site controls can be adjusted. You should also have "hot keys" within your browser that allow you to open links into a new tab or window. I can tell you with FireFox that all you do is hold the control key when you click the link and it opens in a new tab.

yes I do that one, but trouble is I forget as most other forums work the other way.
it's only this one that is different for me.

not a big deal though, just thought I'd ask if it was something that could be changed.
or, indeed it might be a setting thing my end.

If you use ie7 hold down shift as you click, also in settings, there should be open links in new tab as an option :D

you should be able to change it to your suiting with whatever browser you are using.

if you cant, i suggest using a different browser.
