Yeah like I said I know that I can do something about it myself, this is not for me. It all depends on the browser of course. Chrome for instance does not have much in the way of options. So I right click or ctrl click. Personally I think if someone visits this site and clicks a link, the site should stay open and a new window or tab open the way boards.ie and other sites do.
Maybe it's just me but if we get someone on the site I think it is better to keep them on it. Does that make sense? Rather than completely navigate away, just open a new window/tab and that way when they close that, they still have beoir open.
