New tab when clicking a link

[DaveA]

I would like to have a new tab open when I click a link.
How do we get this?

Hi Dave,

We modified the styles in the previous forum to do that, but we'd rather do all that again (it's more difficult in the new version).
To open a link in a Lounge post in a new tab, click the link with the middle mouse button, or hold down Ctrl (Cmd on a Mac) while left-clicking the link.

In Firefox Options, under the main General heading, in the Tabs section, there are tick boxes for
''Open links in tabs instead of new windows'
"When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately".

I presume other browsers have similar options. Do they not do what you want?

Alternatively, if you click the mouse wheel or hold Crtl as you click, a link will open in a new tab. Is that any better?

Or use right-click option for in new tab.

We modified the styles in the previous forum to do that, but we'd rather do all that again (it's more difficult in the new version).

Remember that there was some discussion about that, so must have been some manual tweak by Admins.

The only links that open in a new tab, as far as I know, are internal when using the Post tag.

Yes, the [post=...] tag is a custom BBcode that we created ourselves, so we could control the behaviour of the link.

Thanks to all of you for your input.
All web sites open a new tab except for here as I have the setting in Edge and IE to do such.
