    Attachments in threads should open new windows not lead you away from thread

    This seems pretty standard and something the coding mags could fix.
    If I click an attachment in a thread it takes me to that attachment and I have to hit back to go back to the thread but that's silly.
    The thread is the important part not the attachment and I will only view the attachment for a second and then close or save.
    With my violent interwweb clickings I cant be bothered with knowing what thread I was in or where in what forum it was. Attachments are secondary not primary clicking position.
    What if I want the attachment open in a new window and read the thread. Yeah I know hit ctrl, but standard should be attachment goes in new window thread stays where it is.
    At any given time I will have several tabs and windows open another one is fine and gravy.

    1st world problem? yuuuuuuup! Speaking of that I cant find the episode where Barry finds the gold deblumes has it not aired yet?

    Actually, they should bring up an overlay like they used to.

    I agree, it doesn't make sense to redirect the window, attachments opening in a new window should be the default.

    I could be wrong, but....

    Attachment 104540

    Your point, nonetheless, is valid.

    What happened to the upload feature. TGR was off line a few hours tonight, and when it came back on, I can only attach thumbnails. Why does it keep getting harder (ie. more steps needed) to post stoke. Right now I can't even figure out how to make them full sized.

    Message sent to the devs. I would imagine it has to do with the latest upgrade we implemented after the security threats.
