[resolved] "Open link in new window" not working (7 posts)

    I've searched the forums and bug db and can't seem to find a solution to the problem of not being able to set links to open into new windows, even manually entering 'target="_blank" it into the code via code view. This seems like a fairly major issue. Does anyone have a solution?

    I greatly appreciate any help.

    The "major issue" (meaning NOT good) is the fact that you want to force the users to have new window...
    Read about it

    I simply want to have the option of opening *some* links in new windows, as do many of our users on our WP MU sites. This is not a crime as far as I know. But if it does constitute a violation of some kind of usability guideline, why is the option to open links in new windows part of the WP application in the first place?

    I just want to know how to do this. I don't need a lecture on the ethics of "forcing users" to open links in new windows.

    Thanks.

    Go to the MU forums... it would be the time to learn where you are!
    It is the second time you are posting MU questions here.

    I know exactly where I am, my friend. If you do some research, you'll see that this issue applies to both MU and stand alone versions of WP, and I have posted in MU as well.

    I respect the role of moderators on any forum, but badgering people and foisting your opinions upon them shouldn't be part of your role.

    My role is to remind you that the search works!

    And if you have a MU install stick to their forum and don't spam the space here.

    Ah, now my question is spam. You just love to bully newbies, don't you. It makes you feel powerful and smart and in control. How sad.

    I'm sure banning me will be the biggest thrill of all. Enjoy.
