Can links in posts be set to open in new windows?

I have my forum embeded using an iFrame. The Lefora forum looks fine but links inside blog posts imported automatically open inside the iFrame which doesnt make sense. 

Is there a way to have it so links inside posts all open in a new window?

Thanks for any info.

Hi Chief,

I didn't think so. Will you guys be offering a way to put a header with nav and a footer onto the forums this way they can be integrated better into websites? In the same way WordPress works?

The lefora forums loose the nice permalinks (at least the ability to see them) when stuck in an iFrame among other things.

Also another quick question: Premium Service... when and what will it offer? I'm curious/interested... 

Please let me know your thoughts and a big thank you.

you have full access to the css, so you can alter the header and footer, we recommend the 'firebug' plugin on firefox to help you.

I have tried to embed my forum in a page of my website using iframe and the page looks good with the forum embeded there...

www.my-walney.co.uk/forum.html

But, it doesn't work! New users can click on the link to create an account and enter their details, but when they submit the information the info box just hangs and does nothing.

If I load the forum in a window of its own it works great, but I find no sign of the user who tried to creat an account from the iframe embeded page.

Is this intentional or am I doing something wrong?

I just tested it out and it works for me. What web browser are you using? I tested it in Firefox 2.

hi maxzuk, there were a few questions talked on this thread, so not sure specifically what you're referring to.  If it's about links opening up in a new window, there is no way to do that (as mentioned above).  It's something that we'll be adding in the future. 

If the questions is in regards to something else, it's best to start a new topic.

thanks.
