Ability to toggle default forum text link targets from "None" (same window) to "New Window"
I think it would be a great feature/addition if the GL website/owner had the ability to toggle the default setting of forum text link targets from "None" (same window) to "New Window". I feel this would increase the ease and functionality of links that target both internal and external sources without being lead away from or possibly losing any progress on the current page that is providing the link.
Certainly most links elsewhere on sites are meant for navigation rather than referencing. But the text links found in Forum posts are typically used to simultaneously cite/share information ALONG SIDE of the current subject that is being read in that particular forum post.
This would reduce a lot of time from the link editing process which currently requires one to alter the property of each individual forum text link from a global default setting of "None" (same window) to "New Window". Sharing multiple text links in a forum would become much easier and enjoyable to post.
Just my opinion, but maybe others would agree. Thanks for your time and keep up the great work! :)

This is not currently planned to be included in a development cycle, but we may revisit it at a later date.
