Link Behavior in Forum Post

Post by sheilab »

I'm trying to figure out how to change the behavior of a link in a forum post such that clicking on it will bring up a new window (ie target=_blank). I'm using subsilver2.

Here's a post on my forum that shows the behavior I'm trying to correct:

Thanks for your help - and I apologize if this is documented somewhere. I only started working with phpbb after the hack hit the phpbb site and I've finding it a bit of a challenge to find the help I could use. For instance, I can see that there have been articles on this topic but can't reach any of them!

Thanks again,
Sheila

To get links opening in a new window you will need to make a few minor edits as described in method 2 in this topic

Thanks for your quick help. I found the Prime Link MOD and installed that. It seems to be working well.
