Does anyone know why Bitcointalk does not allow new tabs?

Hi All
Just recently I noticed that links, signatures on Bitcointalk don't automatically open in new tabs. In fact, even if you try to include parameters like target="_blank" in the URL tag, then also the links don't open in new tabs. I think links opening in new tabs is better since the current page remains open and user can easily jump between multiple tabs without having to go back and forth again and again. I also heard it is better for SEO, although of course that's not relevant for Bitcointalk.
But if the links open in the same tab, then there must be a reason. Does anyone know why Bitcointalk does not allow new tabs?
