We're trying out YAF 1.9.5 RC and like it so far. However, when I click on an embedded link in a post my browser opens that link in the same window as the post. It would be much better if it opened the link in another window. I tried both Firefox and IE8 and they both do it that way. I have both browsers set to open links in a new window and in most websites that works correctly so I don't think it's a browser setting. Is there a board setting to change this behavior? I looked and didn't find one. TIA.

btw...yes I do know I can right-click and choose Open in New Window. Just trying to make things easier for the average user here.

Thanks, Squirrel. I looked multiple times and couldn't find it but I went ahead and looked one more time since you said it was there and found it. It's in the Display tab of Host Settings. :oops:
