When navigating around a site i like the links to open in the same window. when i am reading tutorials and following links to external sites i like it in a new window.
After more than 200 readings in this post there is only 1 good willing person in this forum. What a shame.
I always make links open in the same window...it gives the user the choice of whether they want it in that window or a new one.
With any modern browser, you can control-wheel click or right click to open a link in a new tab or browser window.
I like them opening in a new window.
As LPG posted before, I'd like links that belong to the site and the subject to open in the same window, while other external links to open in new windows.
