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?

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](https://meta.discourse.org/t/option-to-have-external-tos-open-in-a-new-page/18137):
>
> Continuing the discussion from [Exclude TOS from getting squashed by git pulls?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/exclude-tos-from-getting-squashed-by-git-pulls/9203/6): 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?
