Topic: Links in posts body and other

Well I this it will be beter if links in posts body automatically opens in new tab/window, because oftenly links are references to something and a viewer don't want to go forward and back to continue reading the topic/posts.

Although it is a bit bothering to r-c and 'open in new window' for each link we want to see whats behind it and.

Thats also with the user info, user profile and some others but not the forums and thopics indexs.

And PunBB will be perfect for me smile

Re: Links in posts body and other

I saw some topics about this earlier...

Personally I hate it when a website forces me to open the page in a new window (or tab). I have enough windows on my desktop already, if I would want more I would middle click the link. That is another reason why I prefer PunBB over the other forum software. tongue

The short answer is that the link behaviour is going to remain as it is.

Well OK, because this may be geed for most users, but aren't there mods for converting specific links to an auto-open-in-new-tab/window?

Anyways, XHTML 1.0 Strict or 1.1 doesn't allow that. Period.

Just find the link handling line(s) in parser.php and add target="_blank" tongue
