External Link - myLot profile

We're here to share our experience related to various topics. When I see any interesting topic I always like to check the responses and sometimes I visit member's profile page. In a member's profile apart from adding sorties we can add website link. But whenever I click website link it opens in the same window. Is it better if you're navigating away from mylot to another website. Is it possible for mylot to change it to open external website [In profile]to a different tab or in a new window when we click. It is just a little suggestion don't take it seriously.

It is not up to myLot to make this change. Each one of us, when we add banners or links to our profile, can make it open in a different page by adding "target=_blank" at the end of the HTML code. I have added that and all of my links, including the one that leads to my website, all open in new pages and my profile remains open too.

I know it may give some confusions. Yea we can take care of banners link but not the link which is situated in left side. It is in left side below our profile pic. I'm a professional web designer. I know about HTML code. Thanks for your response.

Hello As MysD have mentioned about the code, you can put that piece of code for getting new page for all links. About left column link yes it is opening on the same page, but one can easily open the link in another tab if they don't want to go away from mylot. That's not the big issue.
