Re: [release] open links in new window

I think all the links open in a new window. Can you make a small modification like only external links will open in a new window?

Re: [release] open links in new window

is there any chance of adding the attribute rel="nofollow" for external links posted in the forum messages.(To help SEO). This would stop getting bad search engine rankings based on bad websites linked to by forum users,

Hello,

with a help by a friend i found a alternate solution for this problem by adding a deferrer like anonym.to the link. So links posted by users will be opend by using the deferrer anonym.to. and can´t be followed.

You can download the extension with modified and original manifest.xml here:

Re: [release] open links in new window

When someone posts a link to another topic in the forum or someone puts a link to a topic in the signature this extension will also open the page in another tab.

It should not open a new window/tab when the link contains the base forum address.

Re: [release] open links in new window

My opinion: the user should decide for himself how to open the link. To do this, he has a click on the mouse wheel.

target="_blank"

This method is insecure. A site on an open tab gets full access to the parent tab.

Re: [release] open links in new window

I understand but I run a very small forum with only about 70 trusted members and I am I am trying to have internal inks open in the same tab and external ones with a new tab.

If you look on sites like cnn.com and others most websites do that now where any link that takes you offsite opens in a new tab so the member can close the tab and be right back on site. Sometimes when people follow links they do multiple clicks and getting back is not as so easy.

Any way to modify the extension to have it not open a new tab for the base forum url?

Re: [release] open links in new window

That one works perfect Visman

Now when a member posts an external link it opens a new tab and an internal link stays in the same window.
