Links to open in a new window

Post by MrWings »

When clicking on a user posted a link, you are forced off the Avcanada page and to the new link page. This is a pain because you then have to hit the back button to get back to Avcanada or start a new Avcanada session.

In other forums that I visit, clicking a link opens the page in a new browser window. That way the forum page stays open and the link page, usually a reference to the topic being discussed, is in its own window. When you are done with the link page, you simply close it and continue on with the forum discussion.

Is there any way that Avcanada's links can be set up like that? Or is that option available and I just don't know how to access it?

Try right clicking the link.

You should get options something like:

"Open link in new window" and
"Open link in new tab".

Thanks, Widow. That does work.

But I always did know that was an option. It is such a pain though. It takes more clicks and forces me to use that atrophied right click finger.

Besides, I'm a typical internet user. Lazy. :lol: It should be easier.
