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

David

Hi WTG, Solidarity ..you and me both. smile 

I just give campsite names if I think it would help questioners.  If they then can't be bothered to look them up because I haven't given them a live link then that's too bad,  and I don't lose sleep.

Have a good day.

Even a link that is not live is appreciated by me

What I find odd is that if I accidentally close a linked page and end up losing the site, I blame myself for my own mistake.

However, the idea being put forward here is that it’s the fault of the poster of the link rather than the end user.

I disagree with that rationale and believe it’s down to each of us users to ensure we don’t make a mess of things. It’s easily done in this scenario by using the back button.

I agree TW although it no doubt helps those who forget and shut it all down so I will try to remember. wink

The fault is that of the site, in that YES is not the default position.

However, as I mentioned earlier using the back button does not always work on this site if you have clicked on items within the link. So it would be more accurate to put, can sometimes be undone by using the back button.

The thing is Steve if you start clicking on items on the linked site it's up to you to remember you've done this and back your way out of it. If it helps to alter the default link just in case people forget what they've done I'm willing to try and remember too. But I can't promise anything. laughing
