De.scription and Message

Ok, heres one for you PHPBB gurus and masters out there.
From my home portal, I post a few sentences from an article, which in order to read in its entirety you must click the link which directs you to the rest of the article located inside a forum thread. However when the link is clicked it opens a SEPERATE page. Which is NOT what I want it to do.
I stream a live radio broadcast from Art Bell Coast to Coast, and when you go to the desrired link page now you have double audio.
What I want it to do is leave the portal and go directly to the featured thread, so the audio stream isnt interrupted or doubled from 2 pages being open at the same time.

First person with a working answer I will give a free VIP membership to my closed Free online movie group.

Ran across something that may help, this morning, but didn't take the time, as I was deploying a board for someone. Will take a few minutes in the morning to look it up again. Remember where I was, so it will be easy to find.

If I recall the source was explaining how to open a new tab, so looking for that code may be the key.

Get back to you, tomorrow.

This isn't the exact page I was looking at, but does address both popping up a new window and stopping it.

Hope this helps

Only this doesn't apply, because in phpBB (IntegraMOD) most of the times HTML is dissabled.
So you can not set the TARGET option.

I think the other page I ran across is what we want. I remember seeing it in the code somewhere, and OhOh, I think I remember where I was looking, now.

Home for lunch, so may have to wait till after work.

This, by the way, is a good exercise for me, since I'm trying to delve deeper into the workings of the board code. <img>

The configuration for your board (admin->general admin->configuration->allow html) needs to be set to allow html.
in the block below that for allowed html tags type in an a
then in the block on your portal where you are posting the link be sure to check the radio button for html that is located right below where you fill in your text.
then put this for the link

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

 <a>link text</a>

And it will not open a new window

Yeah ...thanx bro I was hip to the html way of doin it, but I was tryin to take shortcuts by using BBC. I absolutely HATE having to write in HTML now. BBC is so fluid and easy to remember.
With adding images and breaks, and this and that using HTML one slip and the entire post is ruined.
But if there no way around it Ya gotta do what ya gotta do I guess.
