FEATURE REQUEST: Links open in new tab/window

Hi Dr. Shades,
Are you able to add code to the board that will allow links in posts to open in a new window, as opposed to opening in the same window (thus, taking one away from mormondiscussions.com when the link is opened)?
If you take a look at
this website, there is an explanation on how to do it on regular HTML pages.
For phpBB 3.0 pages, see
this link.
Thanks,
H.

I always just right click on the link and choose "Open Link in New Tab" but yeah, it would be nice if it were done automatically.

Simply hold the "Ctrl" key as you click and it'll happen.

Well, yes, I know there are ways for the user to make it happen, but can't this be the default behaviour?

Firefox has such option.
Tools-->Options-->Tabs-->Open new windows in a new tab instead

I have that checked but it doesn't do it for this site. It does it for some and not for others, why is that?

Then he has far more problems than a mouse click not opening a new window.

Miracle.
