The radio buttons that indicate whether or not you want to open links in the same or a new window aren't being populated when user data's being loaded, so you have to pick whichever one you prefer again.

that worked. thank you.

whoops. Found the problem. Fixed.

Oh by the way, the "open links in a new window" is working better now. Everything externally linked on the front page is doing it, and within thread pages, the initial post maintains that.

Should I add it to all external links in comments?

I'd say yes. Links are links are links, and so on.

I was just mucking around in my profile again, and loading the page didn't set the link radio buttons again/still.

Whoops. Ok, now it's really fixed. Set it correctly once and you should never see it unset again.

Umm, I hate to be a pest (though I'm apparently quite good at it) but I went today to update my profile (last time for quite some time, hopefully! :-) again, and the radio buttons weren't being set again/still.

Oh, crap. Hey, that's weird.

I went again, and hit refresh and it did load it properly, but for some reason I think it was updating the rest of the info I changed properly before I refreshed.

Must be some weird caching error on my end, it seems fine now.
