I hate when I click an off-site link in a post and it opens in the current tab.
Take a lesson from BrickSet, it's a much better experience and keeps the
user at BrickLink at the same time. (yes I know how to hold the shift or control
key to get that done, but I shouldn't have to)

I think keeping a tab open at BL when a user clicks an off site link would be
in the best interest of BL.

Thank you
Donna

can't ya just simply right-click & select the "open in new tab" or "open
in new window" option in your browser, it's a pretty basic maneuver in IE...

Sounds lile OP has a Mac, so that doesn't exist. FYI, you can also middle
click to open in new tab with just one click.
