Have you noticed that when an outside link is clicked, it takes you away from this site?
Can I suggest that it be arranged (if possible) that a new tab is opened when an outside link is clicked?
That way you will keep posters on your site and not have them wander off.

Only a suggestion like. ;)

And a good one. I've noticed this and have even shut my internet connection because I thought it was a new tab (mind you, I'm usually drunk or it's first thing in the morning when I do so :lol: )

when you hover of the link, press CTRL + T

And this should open it in a new tab. :thumbup:

or if you have a scroller on your mouse, that sometimes opens links in new tabs

great for forums, so you can open all the threads you want to read into new tabs and work your way through them!
almost forgot, on laptops if you press the right and left click button together it does it too

As for the external links, I've found a solution which I will try out now. Hopefully it should work, and I won't kill the board :lol:

From now on the links will open in a new tab/window, but old links that were put on before I updated will still be in the same window but that shouldn't be too much of a problem

Nice one Owain, and nice one Uncle Fester for pointing it out ;)

It was one of those things that was so obvious but none of us spotted it! Good work Fester and cheers Owain for sorting it out. Little tweaks of the site like this will help make it even more appealing and evolve into an even better site.
