Hi, just add a line in Linker.php:

Search for fuction getExternalLinkAttributes

and replace $r .= " title="{$link}""; return $r;

with

$r .= " title="{$link}""; $r .= " target="_blank""; return $r;

Greetings, Carsten

Since the upgrade from 1.7.2, external links have been opening in the same browser window. How do I change that option?

Thanks.

Tim
