Safari 3.1 won't open new windows

So i've noticed that with safari 3.1 i couldn't open certain links. i found this very strange and couldn't really understand why certain ones would open while certain ones wouldn't. Then i realized that it seems to be only the ones that are meant to open in a new window. and if i hold command and click to open in a new tab it works fine. is anyone else having this issue?
here's an example http://www.joystiq.com/2008/01/02/download-complete-ds-games-through-wii-ny-times-reports/
try to click the "everybody's nintendo channel" link in the article. If you look at Safari's status bar it says it's mean to open in a new window.

I'm running the latest version of tiger and am using safaristand with safari.

 

that fixed it! thanks a lot!!
