Links open new window

Post by James » 02 Oct 2015, 22:34

Hi Chaps

I would like to add a suggestion which I think will improve the site a little.
Is it possible to configure it so when you click a link, the page opens up in a new tab rather than take me away from this one?

Thanks

James

James,
Thanks for highlighting this...

For us to create a new window/tab link automatically is beyond the reach of the software we run, its all down to the original poster to create that link, or down to the end user to right click the link with their mouse, rather than just the norm left click.

Hovering over the link with your mouse pointer, then a right click, will open up your options of .....
open
open in a new window / tab
copy
paste etc......


You can set your internet browser to do this automatically, I can offer help if you can advise me what browser you use.?

If your trying to do the same on a phone, you can hold the link with a finger, and again the options will appear.
Again, this can be set to do it as default, if you can advise the phone your using?

I'll try and remember to create new window/tab links in the future, and pass that info onto to other mods/admin.

Thanks again, and please, always feel free to raise suggestions
