Richard - the announcement itself does stay in the same window. What I mean is when I have a link in the text of the announcement, it opens a new window.
Well, the announcement body uses the same formatting as the the rest of the forum. To change it would mean changing the way links work in topics and replies as well.
Hmmm, this is something I have asked in the past, whether it could be possible to have internal links within the forum to stay in the same window, and external to open a window. I would be satisfied if all links were in the same window if that´s easier. Would this be hard to change in the code?
