Opening Links In A New Window

When opening links to images or files from a thread, e.g. this one, all of the links open in new windows.

In the interests of a tidy toolbar, and not having to close new windows all the time, why not get the links to open in the same "new" window? This could be achieved by using the TARGET attribute of the HTML anchor tag (as below):
<a href="FILE" target="NAME">this is a link</a>
(minus the semicolons of course)

FILE = file to be linked to (image, HTML, etc.)
NAME = name of new window

If the new window is fixed so that it only opens links from the current thread, then the name could be generated from the thread ID number (17128 for the above linked one for instance). Otherwise, it could be a global new window name for the site or for a specific area or forum.

Rgds,
James

Because you get used to the current way after a while wink

You see if we change things now, you have to remember if you are in a new thread or an old thread as to if you should close the window, or leave it open, or just minimise it to be used for the future...

Feel free to link however you want though...
