I would like to suggest that when we click on a link within a hub, that it opens into a new window.
I know this option is available by right clicking but I don't believe 'Joe Public' does this often. The advantage of opening into a second window, is that the original page is still active and the viewer can come back to it after reading the link.
This allows us, the writers, to spread applicable links throughout the page, not just at the end of our hub. It also encourages people to leave a comment as once they go to another page, they may be gone for good.
Thanks for the suggestion, Blond Logic. Whether or not to open links in a new window or not is usually left to the preferences set by individuals in their browser. It's really a person choice and not one that most well designed web sites force on user.
As such, I'm inclined to not make this change and let each user's web browser preferences make the choice.

I really do like the suggestion link, But.....could it be changed to Open in a NEW window or Tab? I am all for helping promote HP, but sending readers away from my Hubs is not the right way to do that and I am not for that. Seems in a couple of hubs where I have added the suggestion links the...

I'm a newbie and I just discovered the customizable home page. It's VERY cool and VERY well implemented.But one thing I miss from the standard home page is seeing my author score. On the standard home page, my profile picture has the author score superimposed on the lower right corner...

A great HP feature is that we're notified on our account page of broken links in hubs (the black triangle with a white exclamation point in the center). It seems there's no such notification about broken links in the hubber profile page.Only today did I realize that two links I had in my profile...

It would be a nice feature if when we click on a link it opened in a new window. Most other websites do this. The main reason it is helpful is that HubPages still remains open giving a longer view time as well as keeping people on your site as they have to close the window to leave. I have closed...

I'd *really* like to see the Amazon products open up in a new window. I know that Adsense opens in a new window and after discovering that Kontera doesn't, I deactivated it. My adsense earnings really started to increase because people stayed on my page longer. I think that having the products open...
