Make links open in a new tab

And is it possible to also fix urls written like www.google.com so they work properly?
hmmm... well that seems to work, but sometimes I see links like that (without the https://) that do not. So I don't know .

www.google.com
ah, that's it. You can't put it inside url tags just like that. Has to have the https:// part. Ok nevermind, probably nothing staff can do about that.

But is it possible to have external links (that do work) open in a new tab?

I'm looking into the opening links in a new tab thing. You can always use just the middle button on your mouse, or touch-and-hold on mobile, then open in new tab. I checked and there isn't a setting for that, but there might be a mod I can use.

As for the URL thing, that's precoded into phpBB so there isn't much we can do to fix that without modifying the code, which is way trickier than it sounds. For now, we'll just have to use the correct syntax. You have two options:

Code: Select all

[url=https://www.google.com]google[/url]
https://google.com
Which will look like this:
- google
- https://google.com
