Small Feature Request --> "Support" link to open in a new window/tab

I know it's just a minor annoyance, but could the appharbor site be modified to target the "Support" link in the menu bar at a new window/tab. I would imagine that most users are still interested in managing their apps on appharbor when they click the link for support. At least for me, I go to the support site to look up possible resolutions for trouble as I encounter it. Thanks again for this amazing service. Keep up the good work.

Cheers,

    While I can see the benefit of keeping users on our site, the proposed change have a very important drawback...

    Most (if not all) browsers will open any link in a new tab, if you hold Ctrl while clicking the link (or in a new window, if you hold Shift).

    When setting the target, the user can't override it anymore. This have the consequence that it will always spawn a new tab/window, which sometimes may not be what you want.
