Links

Would it be a good idea to have links in the group set to open in a separate tab instead of the current one? I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve closed my tab after looking at someone’s link, forgetting that it was the discourse tab.

Goto your account, click preferences, click interface, there’s a box to check that says “Open all external links in a new tab”.

I thought that was turned on globally as well

I never even got into the account settings until yesterday and hadn’t seen this until Bears mentioned it, so it looks like the default was set to unchecked.

I am still learning how they do certain things. @Pete2007 @PSCOTT Do you see yours as checked or unchecked?

some settings when I change them only update new accounts. Others are global.
