How Links Work

Post by Adrenaline »

Currently on this site, anytime you click a link, your current page loads the new page.
I'm personally in the belief that this increases the chance of people leaving the site, without returning. I believe there is a way to set it, so that any link clicked pops open in either a new window, or these days, a new tab in the current window. I recommend this way of working, as sending people away from your site is counter productive.

Use target="_blank" in your <a href=.........> statement for links you have programmed, but you'll want a setting for the forum engine itself. There are also settings in people's browsers for this, but that is their concern.
