This site should open all links in a new window instead of the same one. It is such a pain to have to navigate back to the post you linked out of.
This is my only complaint about this site. If it did that, it would be perfect. Thank you.

That, and fix Statman's blog. 4 days till the 6 month anniversary.
The window thing is a good idea though.
Although I think you can just right click on the link and do the same thing.

Use Firefox and set your browser to open link in a new tab. Works great.

I took a look at this last night. The solution wasn't obvious. Ugh.

If you have a click-able mouse wheel it will do it automatically.

If you hold "CTRL" while clicking a link it opens in a new tab. That certainly beats right clicking. It would be a stupid decision (for any webmaster) to change links to open in a new window (unless it's an off-site link). It's just bad design.

In addition, if you click the link with the scroll wheel, it opens in a new tab.
