Does anyone know how to cancel a post (before its posted) from the Quick reply box? At the moment the only way i can see to do it is to go in to More Reply Options and cancel from there. I know i can leave the page but i might find im replying to the wrong post/quote etc and so want to start over.

Im probably missing something very obvious.

Ooh that's scary. I often get stuff out of my system in the quick reply box then don't bother clicking reply. I wonder if I have been posting too much of my inner grumpy old man recently? :)

I'm still seeing lots of IE8 compatability issues and I'm just wondering if this is one of them or is any one else experiencing this since the change...

When I click on links or pics in posts rather than opening a new tab (as is my browser's default setting) on BC it just opens the link in the same page. I have the habbit of closing windows when I'm done with them rather than navigating backwards and 9 times out of 10 I loose my page and have to try and find it again from my emails or whatever.

Can this be switched back to the way it was? - eg. links open in new window/tab.

Links within the Basschat site no longer open in a new window or tab on Mac browsers too. Is that your problem or is IE8 opening all links (including those to other sites) in the same window/tab.

I too would prefer all links to open in a new Window or Tab.

It works fine for me in other sites/forums, just not here any more.

Ok...

Does [url=http://www.dickvenom.com]this link to an external site[/url] open in a new window/tab?

How about [url=http://basschat.co.uk/topic/151799-dick-venom-the-terrortones/]this link to another basschat page[/url]?

For me the first always opens up in a new window or tab irrespective of the browser used. The second always opens in the same window/tab.

Edit: Looks like something to do with the way that the forum handles links because the link to the external site no longer announces the fact in the status bar that it will open a new window or tab even though it does.

Just paste the whole link in - the magic pixies do the rest. :)
