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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

Hey. New board.
(I have no middle button. Just one button. I love my Mac.)
Middle click, command click, whatever. I middle click on my desktop and command click on my laptop. (I love both my Macs.)
I also would only want it on the threadsucks, as well.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Yep, and besides what was already mentioned, there's also click and hold on a link for the menu to drop down...

Did we change the font, today? Everything is smaller. It's not too small. It's actually back to how things used to be, before the font changed, a long time ago. I like it, actually. It's just disconcerting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nope, nothing's changed.
