First of all,  :-*. What can I say? You guys are the best. Thanks so much for providing this. And Kencmd, this is a direct result of your hard work. We appreciate that.

Would it be possible to open external links in a new browser window? I *never* want to leave the site and have to find my way back home!

Thanks so very much everyone!

are you using IE? or Firefox

if you're using Firefox, try clicking mouse3 (click the scroll on your mouse if you have one), it will open the link in a new tab  :)

lol...thanks! i actually did NOT know about "mouse3" using Firefox, so that is great!

what i was trying to suggest, tho, was to target="_blank" instead of routing people away from the extensions site.

but, i am glad to learn what you shared...THANKS!

External links should open in new browser window. Homepage/Download and Demo buttons by default will act like that.

If any excisting links in text area of descriptions opens in same browser window, then feel free to report that directly at the listing, and we will change that asap  :)

I think I am a dope. The link that I thought had opened in the same browser DOES open in an external browser.

Sorry for the trouble and thanks for both of your responses!
