Adding Web Links to Discussions

This is a request that when people add links into a discussion that they use the option to open link in new page. (dialogue box where you add the URL) This has the advantage that you will be less inclined to close the Club Together page down by mistake, resulting in having to log in again. This might not affect all systems but it can be a problem on Windows systems. It would be appreciated if people could take a few more seconds to use this facility.

Thanks

It’s obviously your Lady that’s TV savvy then

I know that the red button turns it off. What more do I need? laughing

That's what I do and yes, apparently it is "wrong", as it opens up the link on top of the CT page.

(But I always use the back button when that happens.)

And, despite trying, (as earlier in the thread) I cannot get the method DK and Steve are banging on about to work.

WTG

When I post a link into a post, what I do is this. Whilst still composing the post I highlight the link and then go to the link button in the tool bar. This opens the insert/edit link dialog box.(previously illustrated by Steve)  The last option is to open the link in a new tab. The default is no so you have to click on the little arrow and select yes. It is perfect possible to copy and paste a link but without editing but it won't open in a new tab. By all means have another go and I will have a look at it to see where it might have gone wrong or where it has gone right!

Can’t tell any different apart from having to open up the link box and click on yes box. Ain’t sure what all the fuss is about, sorry.

I will give DKs method a go

http://www.clifffarmholidays.com/

seems a lot of faffing about compared with other method.

It is not my method by the way! It was how the forum was designed so it is the correct method for adding links to this forum! What has happened is that people have discovered that short cuts can be cut and pasted. However what cutting and pasting won't do is open the link in a new window. One example of why this would be useful. You have just posted a link. If it has been set to open in a new window I can open your link and switch between your comment on Club Together and the campsite you have linked to which would make it easier for me to ask you further questions whilst searching for information about the campsite. It is also likely that when you open a link posted in a thread you often look at several pages so using the back button to get back to CT becomes far more time consuming than adding the link correctly in the first place?
