By default, vBulletin opens all links in posts in a new window (target="_blank").
This mod opens local links (i.e., links from your domain) in the same window (target="_self"), and external links in a new window or tab (target="_blank").
INSTRUCTIONS:
AdminCP >> Style Manager >> Common Templates >> headinclude
FIND in headinclude (this is where I added the code but probably anywhere would work):
ADD AFTER:
Save. Done. 
Thanks to my son, http://www.wildertweedale.com, for assistance with the code.

BOP5 has just published a javascript version of this as a product, which may be easier for many to implement and which avoids possible increases in page load times.VB4 uses jquery on only a few pages. Yahoo YUI is the default library on all pages.
