external links in posts

Post by Weed »

on most message boards, clicking on a BBCode link within a post opens up a new window (or tab) rather than the linked to page opening up in the message board window -- i'd prefer this cos if i wander off following further links from the linked to page, i can just close it down when finished and still have the original message board page available

but it's no big deal -- am happy to go with whatever others feel ok with

I take you point.
I can do it but it will involve a bit of file editing leave it with me and I will see what I can do.
In the meantime you could right click and choose open link in new tab

I have tried to sort this out, unfortunately it involves editing files which have already been edited for another modification so if I delete and replace text in those files it will stuff the other mod.

I will keep at trying to find a solution to this one

This seems to be a good enough method. I would imagine that anyone who looks at the forum regularly will have a short-cut back anyway.

Happy Birthday Chris !

Well it says happy birthday chris on the bottom bit of the forum, but perhaps did you add this application after dom's message?
I must say i remember that it said somewhere in the profile "date of birth" but i checked here and in facebook and couldn't find it anymore...
Happy birthday anyway and have a nice :party:
If i can't dance to it, it's not my revolution

Ah I see, I had come on to the forum via post notification email so I bypassed the front page.

Thanks

out of curiosity can u remember what the other mod was about?

PS i forgot to acknowledge your LAST FM recommendation -- a really nice selection of tracks followed my original choice -- another one is Grooveshark (which unlike Spotify doesn't need registration or installing)
