So I just made a link over in Natter. When I click on it, it takes my current window to that new site. Sometimes i click on a link here and it opens a new window, which I like. How do I make it open a new window?

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
You need to add the parameter 'target="_blank"' to the link tag, i.e.,
<a href="http://www.buffistas.org" target="_blank">buffistas.org</a>
would look like this, buffistas.org , and open a new window.
Thanks, DX. I'll save that for future use.
Ooh, me too! Thanks, DX.
If someone makes a link like that, is there any way to force it to open in the current window? I know that, on a regular link, you can right-click and click "open in new window" to get it to do that, but is there a way to make one of those not open a new window?

Not that I know of offhand, but that kind of thing is very browser-dependent. Opening in a new tab is usually about the best you can hope for.
You could right-click, choose "copy link location" (or your browser's equivilent), and then paste the link into the current window's address bar.
It ain't pretty, but it works.

Uhm. Yeah! That "completely new tag-closing" thing is coming up soon! As soon as ... Wait. What thing was that? I did the Tidy deal. Do I owe more?
