a question about website design/navigation preferences...

I know that links opening in a new window are reviled in most circumstances, and generally I agree with that, however personally when navigating fanart sites and the thumbnails just open an image, not a real page, I like if those open in a new window, so that's what I do on my site. However, it occurs to me that I may be in a minority with that preference, so I'm wondering whether I should change it to the image opening in the same window. Thus a poll:

What she said, plus I use tabbed browsing, which makes target_blank a real PITA. I kid of default open things in new tabs, but I figure that's an easy two-step.

Based on the responses so far I'd say I see some site editing in my future... :)
