When you click on a link, it should open a new tab.

Question

Like a link on a question/chat and click on it and it opens a new tab like when you click on a link in the yellow box when you ask a question.

Comments

Agreed. In the meantime right click, open link in new tab is pretty easy.

1 Up! =D

I hate to disagree, but I am.
If you browse the site a lot, you'll get a lot of tabs open. That could get rather annoying, and the browser could get pretty slow as well.

I think you misunderstood. Otherwise I misunderstood. I think Ziggy meant when people post links in chat or when you view a link in a q or comment e.g http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/meta/41067/when-you-click-on-a-link-it-should-open-a-new-tab
Gets annoying pressing back all the time.

I think this is fit for external links such as links to Serebii, Bulbapedia, etc.

I believe this was asked before, and Pokemaster pointed out that some people's security settings prevent new tabs from being opening by links.

---

Right click, open link in new tab like Blob said. It's already that easy, so I don't see this being added.

It depends on what you are doing in the site. If you are looking for sprites or whatever, then a new tab would be okay, but not if you are clicking on reference links to other websites.

Personally I dislike this. It's annoying for a site to force links to open in new tabs as you end up with loads of tabs.

If you want to open a link in a new tab you should decide that for yourself. If you want a quicker way, try middle-clicking on links to open them new tabs.
