Links in a new window/tab.
I'm mostly used to phpbb when it comes to forums, but I was wondering if it was possible to change the coding so that when you click on a link that it opens in a new window/tab? It's a small thing and really no big deal, but I keep clicking on links without thinking and end up having to back track. It's not a life or death thing, but I just find it far easier, especially if you are still reading a thread and want to read a reference link.
I was also wondering if there was a root search function from the main forum list or if I had to go to each subforum to do a search.
