Could you PLEASE redesign your links so they would pop in a new windows and not replace the main one?
oh thank you
Right-click (or ctrl-click on Mac) the link and tell it to open in a new window or new tab. Most people don't like a bunch of new windows opening up automatically. This way you have the power.
i agree with right-click
Well me no likie.
In FF, for example, a right click open a new window, but if the link is set right it will open a new tab instead.
whatever, I'll pass than.
Arrested for saying there is no human rights ... China in a nut-shell.
There are human rights in China, the right to shop, the right to drink booze, the right to breeze crappy air and water, the right to work yourself into an early grave for corporations, the right to slave incessently for the power and glory of the CCP.
Bad, ugly, dirty , small China
