when you click a a users website 'www' button it opens the link in the same page, i think it should really be target="_blank"

thanks -matt

Hmm, I thought it did open a new window, but I see now that it's not. Good suggestion. Thanks.

uuhhh even after that little reconstruction period... when you click on somones 'www' button it opens their website in the same window STILL!!!

You could always right click the link....

I prefer links not to open up in new windows (if I want a new window, I'll say so!) , so it might have been me who took it out

just saying it might be inconvienent if your expecting a link going to a different site might be opened in a new window, only being disspointed having to go back then right click

way to shoot down my feeling correct!

I'll change it tomorrow, I think a lot of users do expect outbound links to open in a new window.

**sk8boarder2424** · 02-10-2005, 02:26 AM

i feel correct again!

It's one of those personal preferences things. I like it opening a new window, too.

It used to open in a new window. I blame chroder!

I prefer outside links opening in new windows, but I got so used to them not on so many sites that I just right-click and tell them to.

i use a command click and open them in a new tab. that way they load in the background and i can stay focused on the site i was originally browsing.
