Recipe links in new window?

[J A]

Hey @Yooper...how hard would it be to change the code so the recipe links in Forum threads open in a new window/tab? I always have to remember to save the message I'm composing when I click a recipe link to reference something. It's possible to right click and "open link in new browser" but that opens up a whole new browser screen. It's not the end of the world, but I often find that I open 2 tabs with the forum and use one for opening recipes to study while I'm replying to a post.
Maybe it would just open a can of worms or lead to bugs that wouldn't work in some browsers, so I'm sure it's best to leave well enough alone.

Isn’t that in your browser settings to open links in a new tab?

Can’t test it out for myself as 99% of my online activities are on my cell

you could just right click

Both are easy ways to do what you'd like. I just right-click and open them in a new tab.

Yeah....as I mentioned, I know that right-clicking is an option. I've just noticed though, that on most other forums clicking links automatically opens a new tab and it's more convenient. I know that when I was building my website I coded for that as opposed to just following the link and losing the current page.

Nothing wrong with convenience!

I have no idea! I’m used to it this way, but you’re right that it’s a pain if you are doing something and click a link, and your work disappears!

I’ll tag Andrew and see what he says about it! @avantassel

Not a big deal...just a passing thought. I'm sure there are more pressing matters in terms of keeping everything up and running.
Thanks.

I would be in support of the request. It is minor, but the fix is not brewing science, just coding. I am using my phone browser 95% of the time, so right click is not an option.

I just click the back button and it takes me back to the comment I was composing and just paste in the recipie link.
