I’m loving seeing what people are doing with / selling for these tools.

Links lead away from the forum, but do NOT open in a new tab

It’s easy enough to get back - but some non-members may not so easily come back

Shouldn’t all links out open in a new tab ?

I am thinking the same @dan Can the default be adjusted for the forum?

I’m not sure if that’s the behaviour the majority of people want 🤔

In my humble opinion, spawning new windows on every external link is not great UX. If a user wants to open a link in new tab or window they can hold down the “command” key, or right click.

Anyway, I can have a look and see if there’s a setting for it…
