Summary0011205: [WEBSITE] main navigation bar unnecessarily opens new window
DescriptionThe main navigation bar along the top: Download/Documentation/Community/Bugs all have target=_blank in the anchor. I don't see why that's necessary, since it's a link to the "same" website (or rather, to the same "topic").

Now that we have tabbed browsers, mice with middle buttons, keyboard shortcuts, etc., I'd say the user has a better idea of whether he wants to open a new window/tab or not.
TagsNo tags attached.

As a note, the menu at the bottom (just above the sponsors) does not do this.

PS, the "Development Wiki" link on the bottom points to a page that was deleted.

Agreed, there is no real need for having target=_blank in those links.

Not likely that these will get fixed. Site needs a redesign anyway. Closing.
