Tech? About these new-fangled link things ...

The old style ones open up as a separate window ... the new ones don't seem to do that. So, being a bear of very little brain, every time I exit from a link, I end up exiting from MN as well.

Can it be fixed? Please?

My new ones are opening up a new window ... this may not be something MN is doing per se.

(or maybe they've fixed it, in the interim?)

Spotted something else... the new links seem to be adding a space at the end of the link word/phrase if the last ] is followed by a space and another word. The space gets underlined.

Example:
Code has SPACE after last ]
babysitter in Surrey/Berkshire.

Code has no SPACE after last ]
babysitter in Surrey/Berkshire.

If Code is just on a line on it's own, with no additional words (then it works)
babysitter

Didn't know that WWB - We'll add it to the list on the shed door.

I still do it old style

I use Firefox and they open in a new tab, old or new style links.

I still do it old style. Can't quite bring myself to use the new-fangled way, somehow.

Have tried some more, and some of them are OK, some are not.

It seems to be mainly the ones which show in the post with the http address.

Maybe it's just me ... [paranoid]
