External Privacy Policy in new tab

[Lukasz_Labedzki]

Hi, is there a way to open external terms of service and privacy policy in new window/tab? It’s opening in the same tab by default.

Where are you adding these links?

There is an admin site setting to: default other external links in new tab which will change the user default. Is this what you need?

[Lukasz_Labedzki]

Those links are in: /admin/site_settings/category/legal and displayed on /about page. The option you mentioned doesn’t seem to have any effect on those.

I see. Unfortunately there is no setting for these links, see:

Option to have external TOS open in a new page

Continuing the discussion from Exclude TOS from getting squashed by git pulls?: So, we did this, and find that users who click on that TOS are essentially booted from the forum. Even if it were on the discourse site, I’d rather have the TOS/Guidelines page open in a new window anyway What do the powers behind Discourse think about having those open in new windows at all times?
