Links in new window

Additionally it is a very good advice to recreate all custom BBCodes you already have in your phpBB-2 board and to install primehalo's MOD or Kjell's MOD before you upgrade your database to Olympus. This will save you a lot of troubles. (Unfortunately this tip doesn't help when you've gone already live with Olympus.)

Hi,

I am running phpbb3 from beta 3 stage.

But everything is fine. The MOD works ok.

Thanks

Beta 3?!?! You should update....

[Patricia]

Beta 3 is where I started the forum, running now in RC5

[Kjell]

A small updating for prosilver, see the first message. RC5-RC7

How do I force external links to a new window? I would really rather not have external links opening in the same window. I have made the changes for links posted in the forum, but I would like links that are on the portal to open in new windows. Is there a way to do that? /in.php?" target="_blank"> does adding that behind url's force new windows? If so, why does it not work on all links? What am I missing?

Kjell, I changed the codes, and links are still opening in the same window, any other ideas?

[Kjell]

Its working for me but any plain text links made before the second change will not open in a new window.
