I've been trying to figure how to when I create a forum, that redirects to an external site - how to make it open in a new window?  Any ideas on how to do this? - thanks in advance!

The option is in the Forums, Type: Redirect.

Redirect 
Redirects users to another location when clicked on.

 

Thanks, I will try these.  Would think this would be something to include in the base platform - hope they add in future versions...
