External links should open a new tab/window, while internal links should not. ____________________ I don't give a flying feather |

What's wrong with holding shift/ctrl while clicking (or middle clicking) a link?
Personally, I don't like having a bundle of tabs opened for me. The world could always use more heroes! |

♥65 ✿4705 ★50 I would also expect many people on this forum will create links by using <a href=">," and therefore wouldn't follow any rules set up for [url]- consistency may be a virtue here? |

Posted by KiyoshiI asked for this some 7 years ago, to which Jesper replied "Isn't it better to allow the user to choose whether he wants to open it in a new tab/window instead of forcing it?" (the only wise thing he has ever said ). He said that when tabbed browsing was getting popular, and I couldn't agree more. Let the users choose where to open their links, it takes literally one click to open in the same window/tab and also one click for a new window/tab. |

Posted by knuckIt was only one of the first things I learned at school about web design...Posted by KiyoshiI asked for this some 7 years ago, to which Jesper replied "Isn't it better to allow the user to choose whether he wants to open it in a new tab/window instead of forcing it?"

Let the users choose where to open their links, it takes literally one click to open in the same window/tab and also one click for a new window/tab. It is mainly the courtesy, in not pretending the linked content is part of your site. Also, I find it highly annoying when testing an external link in newreply's preview. ____________________ I don't give a flying feather |

Posted by KiyoshiWhat I find annoying is, most web browsers will open links in new tabs/windows on the foreground, and I believe that is a complete lack of Netiquette. |

Posted by CyclopsCavemanI have that on middle-click. But this is not comfortable on some mice, as it might toggle the power of the wheel... ____________________ I don't give a flying feather |

Yes, some browsers have it as a setting. I have middle click set to open new tab in background. The thing is it's usually a setting, not a default. |

I personally use the HTML tag myself. I think a lot of us from the old board do it that way. I suppose this could be part o the code for the UBB style tag. However if the majority of us do use the HTML one it won't have much of an effect. The Dynamic Profile Administrator™"Never Knows Best" Note: if you can see this my layout broke.

Posted by EmuzThese could still be intercepted to have 'target="_new"' or similar added to them, but as knuck states, not everyone will like that. ____________________ I don't give a flying feather |

Especially some sites where every link has to open a new tab.. and then those that every other link opens a new tab. The world could always use more heroes! |

Posted by EmuzIdeally, every html tag should be disallowed and replaced by equivalent bb-codes. Not only is that more user-friendly but it's also safer. I only use HTML tags because I'm too lazy to find out how the url tag works, and I can't find an img tag on the toolbar. |

But HTML can do stuff BBcode doesn't. That would really be not a good idea in practice. |
