Hi Everyone, Thanks for the responses. Now there's still quite a bit that I think I'm missing here. My confusion could be a simple matter of being a very new wiki user, and I thank you all for your patience. That being said, re: rgcjonas's comment: I see the post on bugzilla, but to be honest I don't know what is meant by 'Patch for trunk'. I see that there's a a bit of code that was added to SkinTemplate.php; does this code fix the external link problem? and to nakohdo: It looks to me like the nabble thread only discusses centering links and collapsable menus. Is there a bit about external links opening in a new tab, and I'm just missing it? Thanks again. It's not so easy to parse content posted by experts. :) dan
