I couldn't find the answer sarching the posts, but I can see a difference right here.

So this is Web Wiz Forum V8.0 with RTE 2.0 beta, and I'm using version 7.9.

Well, is it possible somehow to specify in post that href opens in _self window. Now it opens in _blank what is, I think the default value.

I can see here in V8.0 thanks to RTE 2.0 that it is possible (so we have to wait a while - right?)

Thanks for the answer in advance.

yes this is V8

in any other release its not set within the input, its in the link/forum validation (security checks).

if you edit the functions_filters.asp file within the functions folder
to the below it should then show within the same window.





            'If this is an hyperlink tag then check it for malicious code

            If InStr(1, strTempHTMLMessage, "href", 1) <> 0 Then



           
    'Turn < and > into forum codes so they aren't
stripped when checking links

           
    strTempHTMLMessage = Replace(strTempHTMLMessage,
"<", "**/**", 1, -1, 1)

           
    strTempHTMLMessage = Replace(strTempHTMLMessage,
">", "**\**", 1, -1, 1)



           
    'Call the format link function to strip malicious
codes

                strTempHTMLMessage = formatLink(strTempHTMLMessage)



                'Turn **/** and **\** back from forum codes

           
    strTempHTMLMessage = Replace(strTempHTMLMessage,
"**/**", "<", 1, -1, 1)

           
    strTempHTMLMessage = Replace(strTempHTMLMessage,
"**\**", ">", 1, -1, 1)



                'Format link tag

       
        strTempHTMLMessage =
Replace(strTempHTMLMessage, ">", " target=""_blank"">", 1, -1, 1)



            End If

change the _blank to _self

replace the bold line then they will all be displaied within the same /window.

you will also have to
