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.

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.

Click on the mousewheel ?

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