When I click on a link in the post, could you have it open in a new window, like it used to do? Now it opens in the same window, and I have to go "back" to get back to Ovarit. (EDIT: Images open in a new window but links to news articles open in the same window.)

This should now be fixed to work like it used to. Let us know if you see this happening again.

Wonderful, many thanks!

Thank you for the bug report. Yes, it's supposed to work like it used to.

If I come across a post where this happens to me from here on out, I will let you know. Right now, it's all working as it should! :-)

Hi, I found one as an example! OK, the post was https://ovarit.com/o/SaveWomensSports/372407/of-course-trans-people-have-rights-but-not-the-right-to-colonise-women-s-sport

If I click the headline, it does take me to a new window. However, since it was pay-walled, I looked to see if someone had posted an archive link in the comments. They did. When I clicked the link in the comments, it opened the link in the same window, rather than a new window. Maybe it's just something that happens only from the comments?

This is something that you can change with your browser settings, I think? At least, this is something that I can do in firefox, and it may be possible in other browsers as well.

I'll take a look at that. But before the change, it automatically opened in a new window and it's the same browser . . .
