Once again it's time for one of my really stupid questions. Ready?
When I click on a link on the board, most of the time it'll spawn a new window. However, sometimes the link takes me away from the board to a different site, and then I get lost, and buy stuff like personality tests and stuff. Ok, maybe not so much any more, but how do I stay on the board while still clicking the links? Is it something I'm doing wrong? |

Right click on the link, and select "Open in new window".
There is also a way to setup you computer to always open a new window for links. It's a line buried somewhere on the "advanced" page of your internet settings control panel.

You can also hold down the shift key when you click a link, it will open the link in a new window... UNLESS the link is designed to open a new window already; then you'll get "the page cannot be displayed" message.

Why would you leave the board?  |

That's the point- I don't want to leave the board. 
No, but almost all of the links here make a new window, but occasionally a link leaves. And then I miss you guys.  |

For some reason, I think it's only Leslie's links. Pretty much every one of hers lately has not opened a new link.

Yes, those are the ones. I went back and looked. I was afraid that my computer doesn't play well with others.  | |
