have to go back one page to get back to DU. Works the same with the link you posted as it did before.

All other links on DU open a new tab. And links to tweets used to.

BTW, I am using Firefox.

I do have one other quibble with the link. When I used to post links to tweets, you could tell from the link that appeared on DU that it was a particular page on Twitter -- so, for instance, I could post a link to the Twitter account, and a following link to a specific tweet. Now, with only the words "Link to tweet" appearing, you can't tell the links apart.
