Hi Steve,

First a suggestion...

It is not good practice to delete the contents of your messages once a solution to a problem has been found. It can make answers difficult to follow which is not helpful to those who come after you with the same problem. Also, it is not good practice to continue a topic with a completely different problem. Again, it makes it difficult for others to find the answers to their problems when they use the forum's search feature.

In your case I think the solution is to go to:

Options > Application > Extras & add-ons > Content > Open links in new window

The default is to have this box checked.

Most people want to keep people on their site, so will keep the feature turned on, because if you open an external link in the same window your visitor exits the forum there and is no way back (except via their browser's back button). On most mobile devices, the back button can be even more obscure to find and confusing than it is to find on desktop devices.
