External Links

[Blue6995]

I wish to create a link in an Article and I want it to open in another window - normally I would do something like this

<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/"
target="_blank">Visit W3Schools!</a>

That doesn't seem to work

What doesn't work about it? The HTML or using the URL code.

If you want to use HTML, it needs to be enabled for the wiki forum. Keep in mind this comes with a security trade-off, so you would only want admins to have edit permissions in that forum.

If you want to use the URL tag, it should look similar to:

[url="http://www.w3schools.com/|BLANK"]Visit W3Schools![/url]

However, in vBulletin 3, the URL tag should always use target-blank on wiki pages. In vBulletin 4, it should do this for other sites and sites not on the nofollow whitelist.
