I think he's suggesting that links to sites outside the forum open in a new tab, not any/all links on the page.

"Enable BBcode [ quote ]", "If this feature is enabled, then quoting of messages is not done using the standard Phorum method (which resembles email message quoting), but using the BBcode module's quoting method instead. This means that the quoted text is placed within abbcode block.Quote

Two of the advantages of using this quote method is that the quoted message can be styles though CSS code and that no word wrapping is applied to the text.");

P.P.S.: another help message I found there:

"Enable BBcode [ quote ]", "If this feature is enabled, then quoting of messages is not done using the standard Phorum method (which resembles email message quoting), but using the BBcode module's quoting method instead. This means that the quoted text is placed within abbcode block.Quote

Does this sound like hitting the "reply" link would use proper quoting instead of what we have now?

Good point!
Forum moderators: I've looked into the code and found three things:
1. There are settings for the bbcode module. This module apparently defines how links are converted to HTML. Likely they can be accessed on the page listing the modules, there's an "edit" link or something similar.
2. There's a setting "Add 'rel=nofollow' to links that are posted in your forum" with the following choices: 'No', 'Yes, always', 'Yes, to external urls and urls not defined below.'. I think the last of these three is the right one and http:/ /reprap.org, http:/ /www.reprap.org and http:/ /wiki.reprap.org should be in the list of exceptions. Currently, it's apparently set to 'Yes, always', which also applies to internal links and as such drastically lowers the forums' importance on Google searches.

3. There's also a setting "Open links in new window". This one has only yes/no and is off by default. Not sure wether this applies to both, internal and external links, but it might do exactly what we want. Can you please enable it? In case it doesn't work ideal, I can additionally tweak the sources (now that I found where to do this).
Happy clicking through the admin panel! For testing, here's a test message: [forums.reprap.org]

P.S.: the more I work with Phorum, the more I like it. Almost always I attempt to tweak something, I find it already coded, just not enabled. Its primitive appearance is quite a contrast to its feature-richness.
