MetaTalk

I have my preferences set to open links in a new window, but if I click on a user's website from their Profile page, the site opens in the same window. Is it possible to get those links to act like other external links? Is there a downside to changing it that I'm not seeing?

Maybe this has been discussed, but Can we make it so only external (non *.metafilter.com) links open in a new window? I like the preference setting for new window but it can be annoying when it's a metafilter section (i.e. a contact).

I like that when I follow a link from The Blue it opens in a new window but when I am on The Gray or The Green links open in the same window.

Do I need to somehow make a setting in my Customize page for it to work across the board or can this pony be fixed?

Two extremely minor things with Ask MetaFilter.
1. Can you add a link to AskMe in the MetaFilter.com header?
2. I have my preferences set to open links in a new window, but they don't do that in AskMe threads.

why isn't there an option to open comments on a new window? we have the option to open links to a new window, but i always end up having to right click comments.

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.
