Request: Make Forum Links Default to New Window/Tab

Post by GµårÐïåñ »

Giorgio, can you please make the default behavior of the BBCode URL tag and auto-detected url of the forum to open externally rather than parent into the same page? Maybe have a default target="_blank" since it can't be achieved by BBCode it seems. For me, when I remember, I just middle click on the link and viola no biggie, but it would be nice to have this behavior built-in as default. I think this KB Article, http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article/links-o ... w-windows/, might help in making the mods pretty quick.
