Working with 3.2.8? / New tab or window?

Hello,

is this extension working with phpBB 3.2.8?

Do external links open in a new tab or a new window?

Thanks in advance.

Okay, I finally installed the extension myself.

It is working with phpBB 3.2.8

Links are opening in new tabs.

Cheers

Hi Steppenwind, this depends on the settings of the browser. For example in Firefox, in the „Preferences“ window there's an option (which by default is checked) labeled:
Open links in tabs instead of new windows


So the browser will decide whether to open a new window or a new tab. The extension (or any HTML link) does not have any influence on this behavior.
