Links Opening in same tab?

Post by BTRY B 529th FA BN » 10 Sep 2020, 19:44

First of all I have links set in my browser to open to a new tab, why does it open a link e.g. a youtube link in the same tab?

I guess some sites will intercept your click and load the link in the same tab.

I have my browser configured to open links in a new tab when I do a middle-click. Seems to work everywhere.

I can click on a link on other forums and it will open them up in a new tab.

Future changes to this forum will open exernal links to a new tab.

I've added it to our internal bug tracking system.
