Links opening in the same window/tab
How do I post a link in a thread that will open up in the same tab instead of a new tab? I'm creating an FAQ thread for an airline, and I'm linking different posts within the thread to the OP, and I want those links to open up in the same tab (considering they're simply scrolling down in the thread).

See this thread (as an example...I do believe there are others): FAQ for Continental, OnePass and Life's Greater Mysteries. Click on links in the first post, and see that they do open in the same tab..

Because the links in that first post take you to what's called an anchor in the same thread you're in. So rather than open up a new page/tab, they just shift you down the thread to the correct post. So if you're linking to a post within the same thread, no new page/tab, but if you're going to a different thread or a non-FT website, then new page/tab.
