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

David

Apologies DK, I should have said “CT method”. After that I am a bit lost I am afraid in terms of looking between windows. I will try and remember to use link method if it helps. I didn’t realise it made any difference.

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?

Get someone to get rid of the NO option then .... or at least make YES the default, there's no reason for the NO to be there.
