All three of the above open in a new tab for me. Oddly, the link in this post opens in the same tab:

Ben, do you have any clue why I've got this inconsistency? I'm using FF 2.0.0.1. The only Add-Ons I've got are these two:
Check your options.
You should be able to state how it deals with links.
Regardless, there should be consistency. In this thread, links in posts are opening in a new tab, but in other threads (like the one I pointed to above), links are opening in the same tab.
I first thought it was the Google toolbar messing something up, but I've uninstalled it and it's still inconsistent.
Admittedly I have something similar.
I have mine set so different domains open in a new tab, but I have noticed that links in posts referring within the site also open in a new tab.
Do all links have the _blank code ?
I've not looked at the code for any pages. It's a vBulletin feature for the links in posts to open in a new window.
I see now that the inconsistency is only with Firefox. In IE, all links within posts open in a new window.
I'm thinking that this is something "unsolvable" since it's an issue of Firefox only... and I might guess that regardless of what we do with the coding of the site, we probably cannot force FF to open posted links in a new tab or new window since there are so many different setting options - at at least two different tab behavior addons for FF.
Does that sound right Roel?
Sounds somewhat right. It isn't "unsolvable" it's just not a site issue. It's a browser issue. This thread probably belongs in the Firefox topic.
