links opening in self/blank window

Post by humbucker »

i cant remember if i asked this before or not, but can the site be altered so that when you click an external link the new page opens in a blank window rather than self? you find yourself closing the new window only to realise youve closed the forum as its in the same window. and sometimes you just want to flick in and out of each? so a new window for links that are posted ie. photobucket links, external urls etc.

could you not just add target="_blank" to the href in the relevant line of code?
