external links are no longer opening in a new window

In the past day or so, external links are no longer opening in a new window. I'm using IE 5 for the Mac. I've confirmed the preference didn't change.

Matt's got the front page generating statically again.

What Su said.

No preferences for you!

But I ordered in the correct manner and didn't complain when you didn't give me my bread (or a pony!).

I should have thought to look for static page as the culprit.

No prefs for you. You be here four hour!

Why you here four hour?

You no post here any more!

(Just adding to the noise, folks. Move along.)

What about this:

On my work PC (Win 2000, IE 5) I get new windows with links. On my home PC (Win 98 Lite, IE 5) no new windows. I just changed home machine to Win ME, IE 6 and still have the same issue. The browers are set exactly the same. My preferences here are set to new windows.

Any insight?
