Suggestion: External links default to new tab/window

Speaking solely for how I use RPoL, external links are usually to things like external maps, FAQs, rule resources, etc.

I'd love it if they defaulted to a new browser tab/window.

Thanks.

From the Frequently Requested Features FAQ (same basic premise, so same basic answer):

    Can you make window <insert screen name here> pop up?


    Nope!  That would be forcing everyone to open the link in a new window.  As it currently is, people can right-click and select "Open in New Window" (or similar) if they want a new window (in IE you can shift-left click).

Thank you. I looked back several months in this forum -- didn't think to check the FAQ. And yes, it can be done on the user end, but I"m forgetful :)

You can use the mouse middle button/wheel when you click on a link - that should automatically open it in a new tab (that's standard behaviour, not anything RPoL is doing).

In addition to middle click, if for some reason you don't have that option, in Windows you can ctrl-click to do the same thing. I'm sure mac has a similar mechanic with command-click or something.
