Hello, all. I'm new to vBulletin and this board.

When a link is clicked on in my forums how do I get it to open in a new page so I don't loose my viewers to another site?

In FrontPage I know I can make the target page _blank. I haven't figured out how to do this in vBulletin.

Thanks, Steve

its default in vbulletin. If you are talking about adding a link inside the template


<a href="http://www.urlhere.com" target="_blank">Anchor Text</a>

I've probably done a poor job explaining what I'm trying to do.

When a link to another place is clicked on I would like a new window to open with the target site in it (slightly smaller than the original window). Only the X in the upper right hand corner of the new window should work, which would return the user to my site when clicked.

Right now a link takes a user away from my site.

Thanks, Steve

this is what opens links in a new window target="_blank", if you want to open links in the same browser windows use target="_self" instead.

114, I assume you're looking for a way to do this in threads, so that if someone posts a link to "Hey, check out blahblahblah.com", it spawns a new window, correct?
