Courses Plus Student 1,690 Points[UX Request] Make forum links open in a new tab, pretty please?
Please add:
target="blank"
For we Chrome users (since it doesn't have a "open all links in new tab" setting).
I'm constantly losing the site and have to manually go to the forum index again.
Cheers!

Courses Plus Student 1,690 PointsI don't have a "middle" with which to click.
I know that CMD-Click (on a Mac) does the same thing. But why not make it a default in the markup? It's kind of a standard in forums that you would want to keep the forum list open while viewing a subtopic (or subtopics).
Maybe it's just a matter of opinion. In that case, I'll deal with it, and this post can be ignored.

Courses Plus Student 1,690 PointsFWIW, Reddit does this by default, too, and I'd say they are a pretty successful model to follow for forum-like implementations:
