As with our own websites, we want people to still have our website open when they click on a link so they can easily come back to our page. Doing that on the forum is easy when adding a link so we don't go away from the Soft Wash forum.

When posting a link and you highlight it, the link icons will darken, one for adding the link, the other for removing the link. When you click on the add link icon a new window opens with three options: Link URL, Target, Title. Most everyone knows to put the URL in the URL box. Next click on target. At the top it says, Not Set. It gives you two options, open in this window or open in a new window. If you do not select a new window it will open here and you are taken away from Soft Wash.  

I used the open in a new window with Soft Wash forum in the first paragraph. I hope this helps and I explained it well.
