Hello Dj Baxter, you're mistaken. To force links to open in a new window is wrong today just as it was wrong 10 years ago.

And even though I dislike arguments by appealing to authority, Jakob Nielsen is THE expert on web usability. If you've never heard of him, that's probably only because you've never heard of usability.

As I've said to Kolbi - no one forces you to use this mod.
But for those who see the mandatory target="_blank" in vB as a big mistake, this mod will easily help them make it right.

Cheers,
Martin

Deleted this mod.
I read Jakob Nielsen, but I think for the forum is just not necessary. Sorry.

Oh my goodness, I didnt know this until today! Thanks. lol

No need for irony, Verionia. You should rather ask yourself - why do you want to mimic a behaviour through a vB modification that all browsers can already do by themselves?

Dr. osamA, happy to help.

Well most people may not know that the middle button opens a new page in the background, so I wanted to make it easier for them, then have to find out for themselves.

But it boils down to this:

Opening a link in a new window won't stop the visitor from leaving your web if it sucks.
Forcing your visitor to do something he doesn't expect and doesn't want is intimidating and wrong.

Please read the arguments in the links above.

I've been using the mod for three years. My users are happy and don't leave the forum. They can use middle-click, Shift+click, Ctrl-click and all other ways to control their browsing without me raping their user experience.

But I certainly don't force you to use it on your board.
Then you should know that all users spend more time on other sites than yours, and by deviating from whats become the standard, in the long run users will leave your site.

Is there some place I can control where and what links it opened?
That would be nice.
