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

why can I never see/read the pics posters put on the thread, the one you put on is very blurred and unreadable undecided

Depends on your system, but if I right click a blurry picture on CT and 'open image in new tab', it is full screen and in excellent resolution.

Of course with the page image provided by Steve the pop out square will be clearer and background feint. Generally no problem here.

Wow, I didn't realise that such a simple and well intention request  would cause so much controversy!!!!  But thanks everyone for their interest. 

Just for reassurance, if it is required, my post was not aimed at any individual as it is something I have had in mind for some time to post about. I do spend quite a lot of time actually editing links in posts. This is for various reasons. Sometimes it is because a link is posted which for some reason is not linked to a URL (webpage)  so is unclickable. Often its because the link has not been set to open in a new page which can lead to a member losing the main Club website if they don't remember to use the back arrow. Sometimes the link is corrupted which leaves a bit a guesswork as to the correct link although in these circumstances I am often beaten to the correcting by other diligent members. Of course you can right click the highlight the link and click to open in a new window but surely its slightly more convenient to just  click on the link? ( as an aside for those that don't already know you can right click on a posted image and get it to open in a full sized window, saves squintingwink) I will ask Rowena if rather than a no/yes response being require in the dialogue box that it defaults to yes, to open in a new window.

It's a link TDA and works fine, but it does take over the CT window, rather than open in a new tab.

What was being suggested was to change open in a new window, which appears in the link dialog box set at No, to Yes.

The original CT window will then remain open.
