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.

Sorry not been able to solve that one so you need to use Nige's suggestion

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)
