question..

Just wondering.. everytime I download an attachment from these boards, a new page opens with it.
I know, it won't cause any volcano's to erupt, but what's up with that? Or did I overlook the obvious?

Not sure if that's the default action or not for these forums, but I know I've got Firefox set to open links in new tabs. Not sure if IE has similar settings, or if it's coded into the forums.

I just checked, in IE a new window is opened and closed immediately after it.

In Opera the tab stays open, however.
I don't know what'd happen if I used multiple instances of Opera instead of different tabs, but noone uses that anyway (I think?)

I would assume it is a Opera thing, as the tab closes right away with Firfox.

Yeah, after downloads Opera stuff usually stays open on the page.
