    I'm using IE8, and every time I click on a link it opens an entirely new incident, instead of a new tab. I've looked everywhere in the Settings, etc to change it, but I don't see where I can. :mad:

    HEP ME! Please,

    Hi gplea. Open IE8 and click Tools< Internet Options. On the general tab under where it says Tabs click Settings. Under where it says Open links from other programs in: select the option that says A New tab in the current window.

    Then under where it says When a popup is encountered: select the option that says Always open pop-ups in a new tab.

    Furthermore in that same window under where it says Enable Tabbed Browsing make sure all those tab options are checked except for Open the first home page when Internet Explorer starts. When all of those options have been set click Ok to close the Tabbed Browsing Settings window. Then click Ok again to close the Internet Options window. Now restart IE8 for the changes to take effect.
