Link opening into new window?
When I click on a link in a post it opens the source link in the same window and takes me away from Mobileread. Is is just me or the feature to open a link into new window is not in MR?

right click (open in new tab, or open in new window)?
I'm using Firefox. I prefer new tabs and use Firefox. I prefer allowing the individual user determine what they want to do with it. |

Another consideration is the fact that not all devices (eg the Kindle web browser) support multiple windows.

I just click on the scroll bar, to open a link in new tab.

I know I can right click. Just that I was wondering if I was doing anything different. It’s not nuisance for me I was being a bit curious.
Harry, I think you are right, mobileread by name itself should consider mobile browsers first |

There is a setting for opening links in a new tab. In User CP, go to "Edit options", and set "New Window Links" to "All Links". Or "External Links Only", if you would like MR links to still open in the same tab.

@tilia: thanks for the settings help, it's hard to find everything that's available in the settings menus. |
