When I incorporate external links such as the District and Division Toastmasters websites, instead of the current club website changes to the new URL, I wish there will be a new browser window open for new URL. I do no want my site visitors to leave my club website.

Currently, the Toastmasters International link on the menu does open a new browser, but not any hyperlink that is incorporated in the webpages.

Any hyperlink you create on any of the content pages can be made to open in a new window.

When you create the hyper link with the chain icon in the third line (target) select "blank" from the pull down.

Hello,

I have a similar request. For any link hyperlink created on a custom page I can use the procedure Brian described above in order to open it in a spearate browser window.

But this does not work for "custom links" added to the menus.

As the links to TMI do open in a separate window, would it be extremely difficult to do this also for custom links - or even give an option where the custom links should be opened?

Thanks for your answer,

Best

Melanie
