Open links in a new window

Prime example was when I followed your FF & LONDON POLICE link. hope they can fix it especially as more links are being posted and I don't want to keep copy and pasting the web address and then going back again. LAzy I know but there must be a fix.

4/29/2007 at 2:57pm twisted Posts: 742	That's strange! Did you check that you didnt have any "space" between the code and image? Well of cousre right?! Do you use these: [ ] and not these: ( ) ? It works for me all the time!?

But ok ;) It should look like this, minus the blank spaces: [ img]http://example.com/image.jpg[/img ] Of course you have to paste the adress to your pic instead of the example url. Just copy/paste form the (Some BB Code allowed).
