Hi,
I have selected ‘open external links in a new tab’ in preferences but it does not work.
When a link is embedded in a comment and I click on it, the link is loaded within the iframe - it does not open a new tab.
All of the anchor tags have target="_blank" - but still they do not open in a new tab.
Can you help?
Thanks
Did you refresh (press F5) the page after you changed your preferences?
Just saw the setting in user preferences for" Open all external links in a new tab".
This is currently defaulted to unchecked/off for new users.
Is there a way we can default this setting to checked/on for new users?
This looks like the only solution I’ve found. It would have to be applied to the external_links_in_new_tab field instead.
Any news on this issue? It’s still there. It’s a bit strange that if you set a setting in your admin, it just applies for guests users and not for registered ones, registered users don’t have the option enabled on their profiles…
What? I think you have it backwards, it doesn’t and has never applied to guests. The admin setting simply lets you setup a default for new users who register. It will not update the existing setting for existing users.
