Links opening onto a new page..

Post by WillS »

When someone posts a link to another website, can we have it opening in a new page!!
If you forget and close the page, you have to start all over again on the ABR Forum.

NP. Works on all web sites. Clicking the middle mouse wheel (if you have an external scroll mouse) works too.
Shift-click to open in a new window (NOT tab).

Using an iPad, so no control click or mouse.
Ok if I can remember to hold the finger over the HTML link and select open in a new window.
Problem solved.
But the previous system to always open in a new page was better. :D

Better still if it opens in a new tab rather than a new window ...

Its not a forum setable option its the way you have your browser react to links that causes the action. Ergo look in your options menu on the device your viewing the forum with to set link options.

An exmaple from my FF browser
