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.

I remember coding that for ABXD. Though, my code is dumb and duplicates the attribute if it's already there. I also think that it marks full board links as external links, not sure though.

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?

Good point, maybe we need a Quick Help so at least they will know about [url].

Indeed. I tend to use html over bbcode any day.

Same here. </> are easier to type than [/] on azerty. Also HTML allows for more freedom, like giving your link specific attributes that [url] wouldn't support.

External links should open a new tab/window, while internal links should not.
I 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.

It was only one of the first things I learned at school about web design...

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.

What 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. :S

I have that on middle-click. But this is not comfortable on some mice, as it might toggle the power of the wheel...

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. :(

These could still be intercepted to have 'target="_new"' or similar added to them, but as knuck states, not everyone will like that.

Indeed, I don't either.

Especially some sites where every link has to open a new tab.. and then those that every other link opens a new tab.

Ideally, 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.
