I've had that thought, too, Nova. I'd find it really helpful, but I don't know enough about coding to know if it'd be a pain to implement.
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

What is even happening?
I wish all our links added the functionality that the target="_blank" coding does when you make an t a href tag. The Bronze Beta does this. All links open up a new page. If you include the target="_blank" coding in your t a href there though, your link doesn't link.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like the idea that the threadsuck has them, but I'm reluctant to do that for every link.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I open a new tab (but not window) for links, so that functionality in general links would subtract functionality for me.
I have no opinion on the threadsuck issue.

Hey. New board.
If you middle-click a link designed to open in a new window, it will still open in a new tab rather than a new window. So if it was implemented, opening links in a new tab would work exactly the same.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I generally open links in the same window I'm in, because I prefer using the back button to having a bunch of windows and tabs floating around. When I want something in a different tab or different window, I open it that way, and I generally find it annoying when something automatically opens in another window.. Making it automatically in a different window would also subract functionality for me.

(I have no middle button. Just one button. I love my Mac.)

I'm using a laptop, and also have no middle button.

Our wings are not tired
I just right click or cntrl-click and choose new tab.
New window would drive me bugfuck, too much like popups.

I agree with that for in-thread links, but on the threadsuck page I'd prefer it automatically go to a new window.
