Links opening in same window

When opening links to other sites, say ebay adverts, on this forum it opens in the same window so closes club-xm wheras on other forum it opens in a fresh window.
Is this just me, if not can the links be set to open a fresh browser window?
TIA

Hi dieselman
Right click on the link and choose one of two options - open in a new tab or open in a new window.

The above might only work in firefox?
Which is what i use, i like the new tab option, very handy.

If you use firefox then there are a number of addins that allow you to have better control by using gestures with the mouse. e.g. drag a link to open in a new tab vs click for normal behaviour or click and move the mouse left to go back a page. The ultimate in lazy browser control.

Hi guys,
IE7 onwards should support 'open in new tab'.

It does support it, but only if I remeber to right click and select.

If you simply press the ctrl key whilst clicking with the left mouse button, the link should open in a new tab.
