Links in Eileen's Lounge

What gives, when I clicked links on the old Lounge, they used to open in a new tab.

What gives, when I clicked links on the old Lounge, they used to open in a new tab.

In the previous version, we had tweaked the forum software to open all links in a new tab. Unfortunately, doing this in the current version is more difficult. So please use the middle mouse button/mouse wheel to click on links.

Thanks Hans. Is there anyway a browser can be set to open links in a new tab?

[HansV]

As far as I know, there is no default setting for this - either use Ctrl+click or click the middle mouse button.

For Google Chrome, you could install the Open Links in New Tab extension. Should work in the new Chromium Edge too.

Hello Hans, Just installed the links app, I set it to work in https://eileenslounge.com when I used it to open a link in a Scuttlebutt post, it opened in the same tab.

I don't use Chrome myself, so I can't help you, sorry.

It appears that the lounge setting over ride any browser settings.
This also is happening with IE and Edge
