Despite using this option User Preferences: “default other external links in new tab: Open external links in a new tab by default.” My links are stil opened in the same tab. Am I missing something or is it a bug? Cheers!

Simply that non-members don’t have preference settings until they become members.

Weird that is not by default or at least we have a choice to let them open links in new tab (non-members). Would it be possible?

Entirely possible. That’s exactly what right-click open in new tab does.

Hehe yes I know but it is not the same thing… I mean that the choice we have with members, would be great to have it for non-members also

Have you set default other external links in new tab? It’s off by default because it takes away people’s right to choose how to use their browser. For people who use screen readers, having a page open in a new tab when you don’t know it is very confusing.

Yes I did. For members, it works but not for non-members…

Right, it doesn’t work for non-members because non-members do not have settings.

Oh. Sorry. I guess that’s right for the reasons that I (and now @cpradio) explained.

Could the not-logged-in setting be changed with CSS?

Not with CSS. You’d likely have to write a plugin that overrides the default setting. I thought that was discussed here somewhere, but I couldn’t find it.
