I applied "open offsite links from this site in new tabs by default"
on techmeme.com but all or any off-site links still open on the same
tab/window. I applied the same rule to reddit and digg and they both
worked as intended; offsite links open in new tab and onsite links
open in the same tab. Can you check why and how the rule doesn't play
nice with techmeme? Thank you.

Hi Yoha,

(I replied to this topic in another thread, but I want to put the response
in the right thread.)


I will look into this issue.

Ah, I see the problem. For some reason, Techmeme puts a "target=_self"
attribute on their offsite links. I designed LinkThing to ignore links
that target _self, because normally "target=_self" is used in a frame to
make a link open in the same frame. Or so I thought.

I will try to fix this.

Fixed in LinkThing 1.0.6.

Tested and the fix passed with flying colors.
