Suggestion for the forums

In detail, explain your suggestion: Add a second button on the link watcher which allows for the link to be opened in another tab instead of it opening in the page I wanted to read.

Why should this be implemented? It would make browsing threads with links easier as we would not have keep opening a link and then going to the post as we would be able to open it in a new tab.


Link watcher is the thing that pops up when you click a link, try this link here. https://www.google.com

Was thinking the same thing earlier I can't find the JS for the Link watcher script however I've made this little script which could easily be put into the link watcher.
Code:
<a href="https://google.com" onclick="javascript:openWindowInNewTab(this.href);return false;">Works</a>
<script>
function openWindowInNewTab( NewWindow )
{
 window.open(NewWindow, '_blank');
 window.focus();
}
</script>
believe it works for all browsers except IE7.
Checked on: Chrome, IE9, Firefox.

Why not just right click the link, and click open in a new tab?

Allows people to masks links once again rather than showing the true link behind it.

If you do it that way people can mask links behind it hence we need a option in the link watcher.
