Question I would like URL links in forum announcements to open in the same tab

Hi, I have a small question about creating links in announcements on my forum, to-date when I create a bbcode URL in an announcement it insists on opening the link in a new tab, however I am linking to an internal page within the forum and would like to keep the opening page in the same tab, is this possible.

I thank you in advance for any help or suggestions offered.

G'day, puniksem, and welcome to Kunena.

I do not know, specifically, what you need to change because I haven't made the effort to search every file in Kunena to find where "anchor" links are generated. My suggestion is to search the PHP source code until you find the class that is responsible for these things or wait patiently until someone (who has much better knowledge than me) can give you the exact location and the specific change that you will need to make. You could be in for a long wait.

Your question is not easy to answer and, however you find a solution, you will have to re-apply the same custom change every time that you upgrade Kunena. The issue for you, therefore, is how much do you really want to do this and does it justify the cost?

Thanks for the reply, I am willing to navigate the vast amount of code to find the answer, however a friendly resourceful coder would be allot more time saving. It is an annoying issue that forces the entire website to open in a new window every time a URL is clicked upon in an announcement within the forum.
