A little piece of me dies....

....every time I click on a link that doesn't open in a new tab.  Why must you all torture me so???

Re: A little piece of me dies....

  • Yes

    ETA: Why isn't that the default option? I don't really understand why it is set to open in the same window and you have to change it.

  • YES! 

    I often wonder that too kbaby, but i put it in the category with what's the point of PMs if you have to page someone.

    Molly, my favorite is when someone has gone to the trouble to make the link into one word or a description instead of the long url and you think, surely if they can do that it will open in a new window, and then BAM!, jokes on me. :(

  • i'll admit... i don't know how to make it "open in new window".

    Whenever I put a link, I just c/p it from another browser into my post.  Is there a different way I should be doing this?? 

    ETA: nevermind, i just figured it out.  I never use the link feature, i always just c/p it.  I will now remember to use that feature to make sure it's selected to open in new window because while i admit that i didn't know how to correct it, i also did hate it when they wouldn't open in a new window.

  • I think I fixed all my siggy links, but how do you do it for a link in a post? I'm dumb.
  • Hold on a minute.  I did a tutorial post on this awhile back.  It was detailed, let me see if I can find it.
  • I couldn't find it, so I am going to do it again, and hope that people will read and learn :)

    1. Copy the link you want to use.

    2. Open up the post box. 

    3. Type what your link is.

    4. Highlight your text.

    5.  Click on the little link box at the top of the post box- the box to the right of the numbered bullet box.

    6.  Paste in your link

    7. Choose "Open Link In New Tab"

    Example and see the photo below:

  • Please note, I am hovered over the WRONG option.  You should choose "open link in new window."
  • I usually just right click on the link and then select open in a new window.  That way I don't have to wonder if it's going to open in a new window or not.

    But I'm lazy. And am sometimes working with one hand.

    That's what I do too!  But then again it doesn't bother me if it opens in a new window or not.

    This; I would never assume because it irks me too. I open everything in a new tab anyhow as having too many open windows bothers me too.
