Can you Make the Hyperlink Open in a New Tab? #96

Closed idthiru closed 9 years ago

idthiru commented 9 years ago

The footer in every page (I believe) has a link to the issues page in github. Can you make the link so that clicking on it opens the issues page in a new tab?

"please raise an issue"

-1 from me, mostly because if you really want to open in a new tab, you can just Ctrl-click, but if you want to do the opposite, it isn't nearly as convenient.

But of course, @benschwarz gets the final call.

Generally I'm pretty against doing that because it relinquishes control for people—the benefits are generally unquantifiable too.

I understand the use case of filing an issue, but people seem to manage just fine already.

Sorry to close, but that's just generally my thinking
