Links in messages

[alisonb]

Don't think anyone has mentioned this, but before the change, when you clicked on a link in a message, it opened in a new window. Now it opens in the same window, and you lose the forum. I know you can click on "open in new tab" but I don't always remember

I was hoping that andalucia admin might have replied. I also find this a real nuisance. Perhaps there is an option to change this in the user control panel but I can't find it.
Over to you andalucia admin?

An aside to this subject ... I have to confess I am finding this new format for sending a pm extremely confusing ... with too many options IMHO ... and even more confusing was that to the right of 'User Control Panel' it said (0 new messages) but when I checked there was a new message waiting for me!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It appears that the software developers decided not to make links open in a new window in order to achieve XHTML 1.0 Strict-validation. We have now made the forums change all links so that they will open in a new window.

Please click http://www.andalucia.com and try

Thanks,

Thank you very much!

Thanks. I'm sure we can live without XHTML 1.0 Strict-validation, although I'm missing it already!

I thought XHTML 1.0 Strict-validation was one of life's essential ingredients.

Down here on the Costa you have to pay at least 70 euros for strict validation!

Cheaper in Pizarra ...but you have to close your eyes in case you recognise anyone
