How can I get linked pages to show up in another window?

OK, so you click the link on XenForo and the page shows up in the same window, how can that be changed? What addition to bbCode needs to be put in?

If you can edit the bbCode code; you can add the target attribute. E.g.

<a href="https://forumpromotion.net" target="_blank"> Forums </a>

Just to be clear you want it to open in a new tab or window?

I generally wouldn't open a new page in a new window, that is a very annoying behaviour.
Some browsers actually block links which open new windows for security reasons.

That's not bbCode.

Is that true with most people? How many browsers block it?

Great

It happens about three times a day here, luckily most sites don't use it.
The context menu is usually the best option for opening a new window and you're less likely to annoy the user.

That's strange. Well, Patreon opens up links in different windows, so I hope this thing doesn't hurt my business on there.

Which I'm aware of. But what I was saying is edit the bbcode source code and edit to have that format..
