DukeCity Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Love the new forum software! Looks good and runs fast. But now when I click on a link in someone's post, instead of opening a new tab (convenient for when I want to wait until later to read the linked info), I'm taken away from organissimo.org. Is there a setting I can adjust? Is there an administrative setting that can be adjusted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) I noticed that too. I think it's a user/browser-independant general setting to be changed by the forum admin. I would prefer external links to open in a new tab by default. I'm aware that I can use shift-click in my browser, but I forget to use it since in most fora external links open in a new tab.

Jim Alfredson Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 There may be something in the admin panel to change how links are handled. I will look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Holding the shift key while clicking on a link works in every browser to open the link in a new tab or window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim R Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Holding the shift key while clicking on a link works in every browser to open the link in a new tab or window. Hmm... not on my Mac. I use the "control" key for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Here's the setting that the board administrator can change: Option in Admin Control Panel Open posted links in a new window? Forces links to open in a new window, if javascript is available. Enabled == yes http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/298770-open-posted-links-in-a-new-window/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
