I know I can shift-click or right-click and "open in new window" (or new tab with some browsers). It's just smoother when a website opens its internal links in the same window and opens external links in a new window. I know it can be done on this site as the link to the factory website on the home page does it. I just don't know how hard it is to do with automatically embedded links. But redirecting without notifying the user is generally considered poor web design netiquette.

Uh...not really.
Truth is, it's a never-ending debate amongst webmasters. Many despise opening any links in a new window. Others see it as you do.
Me - I couldn't care less, but the rest of the site does work as you suggested...external links in a new window. I didn't code any of it that way - it's just the forum software default.
I'm more interested in consistent behaviour, than how the links work. So, I modified the automatic links to work as you suggested.
Thanks for the heads up,
Bill

Thanks for making the change Bill. I meant no offense by my poor netiquette comment. I know you and Mike work hard just keeping this fine site up and running without having to deal with nitpicky details like this.
Thanks again...

One for Da-Nerd..... from Da-Byrd....
What is the outside chance that on the Photos albumn, we could have an alpha roster going cross the top or bottom that would allow us to pick from the 1st letter of someone's photo album.... i.e. F for Foggy Dew...
rather than having to pick a number as a wild guess...and punch forward and backward from there...
Or...it this is not a good idea .....  I will just keep "fishing" for Da-Boats.
And...many thanks for your continued support and help.
