media Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hi @bfarber, Ok I figured it out; looks like normal (clean URL no widgets) links from my website is working but if i add a widget (topic widget or promoted links widget) system is forcing to open a new window???? Is this the way this works, widgets are not included to NOT forcing part???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrigan Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I don't have that problem in widgets. The post above with the link to another topic, that has ALWAYS opened in a new tab and is WAI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrigan Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 No. The embeds ALWAYS have opened (no matter the link) in a new window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I meant new window NOT Tab... I think I got confused about new tab and new window What I am saying: I thought all links does not matter widget or not from your site won't open a new window nor tab???? But that's NOT true... Some widgets open new tab or window...!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrigan Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 The embeds ALWAYS open in a new tab/window (no matter if its internal or external): This is an embed. It will open in a new tab! However. New Windows is normally a behavior of the browser, not the link or if you're hold "shift" when you click on a link. Beyond that we would need to see the site. The behavior hasn't changed from my side. Noble~ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
