Links aren't opening in new tabs

Post by cheeba »

I have no idea how they are different exactly, but some links are opening in new tabs, others are opening in the same tab.

I'm getting this more and more as well. Happens for me in IE11 and Firefox beta 26, but only when I'm logged in. Take this link from over in the NFL thread:

If I'm logged into OO then this link will open up in the same tab (bad). If I'm logged out of OO then the link will open in a new tab (good). I've gone through and deleted cookies from both browsers and get the same result.

Weird. They open in new tabs in Chrome.

Assuming you have a keyboard, you can always force them to open in new tabs using the CRTL key.

I'm sure it was the last template upgrade at borked it. I'll look at it once (if) tapatalk is fixed (or I yank it out).

Yeah it's obviously not a big deal, though I admit I'm a bit fascinated at how the links are treated differently. I'm using Firefox btw.

Take Daehawk's Battlestar Galactica thread. His first post, which links to an IGN article, pops out a new tab. In his 2nd post it links a couple videos, and those pop into the same tab.

It's a manual modification to the template that is a point in time. Mod in, links open a new tab, mod out they don't (at the time of the posting not reading). Modifies the code used.
