Why is there inconsistency in the way links are handled on Poal (Voat has a similar issue). It seems that when you are on any post page, you can left-click a link and it will open the link in a new tab. But when you are on the comment page, the same link is opened in the current tab... this is dumb.

For that matter, ALL links should open in a new tab, or NO links should open a new tab... just one way or the other. This really should be a user configurable option as some people have different opinions in this regard.

in closing... don't be like Voat. :)

Fixed.

Try again.

Firefox/Waterfox are now opening links in external window or tab (depending on your their settings).
