Actually, I wonder if it isn't in your Free Republic Preferences... How do you have this set? Look under your Name, then Preferences.... Mine is set at the middle option.

Windows
Most browsers are capable of creating new browser windows. You may elect to allow the forum to create new browser windows when clicking marked links. Links which are programmed to open in another browser window will be marked with a ^.

Self Links will not be opened in new browser windows.

Blank Marked links will be opened in a new browser window.

Slave Marked links will be opened in a single "slave" browser window. This allows one to leave open a list of articles in the master window, while reading the articles in a slave window.

Thanks. I had that same option set already, so I think it probably is an IE issue.
