On the new L4Y, when you click any link such as a pic someone has posted or an affiliate website it opens that link in the same window that l4y was in. This is the case in IE and Firefox. Now I know you can use the middle mouse button to click on a link in Firefox in order to open it in a new tab but the whole affair is kinda irritating.
Is it not possible to revert back to the old way where clicking on a link would automatically open it in a new tab / window?
Edit: I dunno why this was posted in Red Faction Site Feedback, just meant to put it in general site feedback... oops sorry
For me the links in the forum that someone has posted open in a new browser (i am using firefox) but the Affiliate sites open in the same browser for me
P.S. Still Alive.

I'm so used to FF now I just click pretty much all links with the scroll button... in fact it irritates me when I get on a site and it has to open a popup instead of a new tab.

And in IE, you can right click on the link then select "open in a new window"
yeah, IE rules.
It's specially recommanded to open new windows when you've done a research and got several results you'll have to check (since clicking on the back button does no longer bring you back to the result of your research)

I'm like pickles, so used to FF that I hardly ever use the left button whilst browsing
Can't think of anywhere better to put this, but I reckon the blue outlines around the logos for the Affiliates can be disposed of. It's just a bit of CSS.... wouldn't take much time at all.

Wow im pretty new FF user (its about 3 weeks now) and i never knew about that. That will come in handy as i usually right click and select open in new tab.
