				Would it be possible to set forum hyperlinks to automatically open in a new tab? That's generally the norm, and easier on people who frequently access the forum on phones and tablets, where a lack of mouse functions don't allow for the option of opening a hyperlink in a new tab.
Just a thought.

				Hmm, I had a quick look at the admin control panel and user's control panel but I can't see any obvious option to make that happen.
I'll have a better look around tomorrow (it's late now, and work tomorrow)...

I'll ask ToniXX, our Admin on Unseen Servant.  I know it was something he easily did when we asked about it, so I'm pretty sure it is a standard phpBB function.

				Just got a message from the forum Admin.
He said he used this:

				I've installed the "Prime Links" mod--it seems to be working (remote links are now opening in a new tab).

Excellent!  Thanks, WOTE!
(Every time I type "WOTE" I'm reminded of the Wode warrior from the earlier versions of Age of Empires... I guess technically you have a Gaelic past.  Unless you're Aboriginal.)
