World Description Page Links

[Lawrence Pierce]

I've noted that although I choose 'Open Link in a New Window' option for an embedded link on the world description page, the target opens and replaces the description page, which is, of course, the current window. This happens on all of my links (except mailto:) and happens in Safari, Chrome and Firefox.

Hi Lawrence,

What operating system are you using?

[Lawrence Pierce]

Mac...

10.13.6 High Sierra
13.6 Ventura

Using open link in a new window works for me on Windows 10 (both in Firestorm and in Chrome).

Please try the links in this world page and let me know if they don't work for you as expected as well: https://www.kitely.com/virtual-world/Il ... ome-Center

The situation is the same... the target of each link is the current window. I checked Safari, Chrome and Firefox on both Mac OS's. I also tried Chrome and Edge on Windows 10 (version 22H2). For each environment, the links open into the current window. Same with iOS version 16.6.1.

Is it possible that you're using a browser extension that prevents opening links in a different window or tab?

[Lawrence Pierce]

I don’t add browser extensions and I’m having the same issue across 3 browsers, 3 operating systems, 3 computers and one iPhone. From one of my own websites I have links that open in new windows or tabs and those work okay.

It’s not a serious issue in this circumstance, but thank you for the prompt responses.
