Links taking us away.......

Is it possible to make any Links pop up in a separate window. Not sure if this happens to others but when I click on a Link it keeps me in the browser tab that I have open and steers me away from TD.

Sometimes I forget that I clicked on a Link or that Link gets me checking something else out and then when I go to click back on the tab I had the TD open on and it is gone.

It is not a big deal. I usually just open another tab and open TD again but this doesn't happen to me on most sites that I surf at. Was just curious really :D

Use right click on your mouse, and choose "Open in new window".

The current rule of thumb is to let the user decide, per TT suggestion, using right-click menu.

I started to change to two types of links action then thought it would disable the 'open in same window'. Very few do that but someone drifting through might expect it.

Oh okay, thanks TT...... you learn something new every day :D

I still search for the top button and just end up scrolling back up even though I can just hit the "top" button on my keyboard.

I guess the saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" runs true with me.

Hahahahahaha..... no room in my brain for any more information, it is filled with a bunch of crap already :D

I'll try to add a top link near the bottom of the posts page in the near future.

Try Ctrl + Home, that should take you to the top of the page.
