I think he's suggesting that links to sites outside the forum open in a new tab, not any/all links on the page.
Good point!
Forum moderators: I've looked into the code and found three things:
1. There are settings for the bbcode module. This module apparently defines how links are converted to HTML. Likely they can be accessed on the page listing the modules, there's an "edit" link or something similar.
2. There's a setting "Add 'rel=nofollow' to links that are posted in your forum" with the following choices: 'No', 'Yes, always', 'Yes, to external urls and urls not defined below.'. I think the last of these three is the right one and http:/ /reprap.org, http:/ /www.reprap.org and http:/ /wiki.reprap.org should be in the list of exceptions. Currently, it's apparently set to 'Yes, always', which also applies to internal links and as such drastically lowers the forums' importance on Google searches.
Make sure forums.reprap.org is in there too, just in case it doesn't believe that it's an internal URL for whatever reason.
Q: Will this affect links in signatures by any chance?

3. There's also a setting "Open links in new window". This one has only yes/no and is off by default. Not sure wether this applies to both, internal and external links, but it might do exactly what we want. Can you please enable it? In case it doesn't work ideal, I can additionally tweak the sources (now that I found where to do this).
Happy clicking through the admin panel! For testing, here's a test message: [forums.reprap.org]
FWIW: When I tried this link, it opened in a new tab. Both links in the destination msg opened in the same tab. Guessing no one's looked at it yet. ;)

P.S.: the more I work with Phorum, the more I like it. Almost always I attempt to tweak something, I find it already coded, just not enabled. Its primitive appearance is quite a contrast to its feature-richness.
After having played with Phorum a while back I was pleasantly surprised. It's no where near as bad as some people make out - you just gotta go actually "look" for stuff.
The range of addons is somewhat extensive. Part of this is because it's rare to see a module that does the same functions as another module. If a module doesn't quite do something, people have a tendency to expand the existing module, rather than writing a new one.
