For some time I’ve noticed a problem in some comment boxes, perhaps some of you have run into this also.
In the newer versions of MT, if someone leaves their url when commenting, and you try to click on it, it will open in the same window, which most times cannot be resized, and if you’re like me, it’s very frustrating! I don’t remember the older versions being like this (but I’ve slept since then *s*)
Anyway, to fix it, open up the ‘comment listing template’
under the ‘stylesheet’ link, place this line

<base target=”_blank”>

save, rebuild, etc…
**UPDATE: I realized, that you have to also put in target=”_self” (or when you post a comment it will also open in a new window) on the line that looks like this

<form method=”post” action=”<$MTCGIPath$><$MTCommentScript$>” name=”comments_form” onsubmit=”if (this.bakecookie[0].checked) rememberMe(this)”>

should look like this

<form method=”post” action=”<$MTCGIPath$><$MTCommentScript$>” name=”comments_form” onsubmit=”if (this.bakecookie[0].checked) rememberMe(this)” target=”_self”>

this post was brought to you because I needed a place to keep this tip *s*
