This is a minor issue, but as it is an external link, can you change the "A newer version of FogBugz" link to open in a new window?

Thanks

Right click on the link and select "Open Link in New Window" (or Tab).

Of course I can do that, but it's an external link so it's web standard to have it open in a _blank window. Like I said, minor issue - but also super easy to change. – Sergei Jun 28 2010 at 18:25

I don't consider this a 'standard'. I consider it an annoyance. The web site should not force me to open a link in a new window/tab. In my experience the practice has become less common over the years. While FogBugz uses XHTML 1.0 Transitional, it is worth nothing that 1.0 Strict does not include the target attribute, nor does (I think) 1.1. You can also middle click to open in a new tab, so no extra clicks.

Make “newer version” link open in a new window
