Links within threads - should open a new tab

Not a 'problem' as such, but a suggestion.

I noticed that if I click a link to another site, the new site opens in the same browser.

Would it not be better to open external links in a new browser tab?

If not, a reader is 'leaving' DDK every time an external link is clicked. Makes it a bugger to just click back to where you were in DDK, if you know what I mean.

Yes it's been like that since the provider change. Is the anything that can be done about that Bootsy as it is a bit of pain in the a*s. Right click and open in new tab or window gives the desired result.

If you've got a mouse with a wheel on it - you can click the wheel down and that will perform the same action as right-clicking and selecting Open in new tab.

or hold down CTRL on your keyboard and click for new tab, or SHIFT and click for new window (IE only, although I think CTRL click works in safari too)
