Yep - the target command should work. . .but make sure HTML is on. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> (a mistake I make allllll the time)

Do you mean the "HTML Allowed?" setting under Forum Settings? This setting only applies to a particular forum though, is there another one that encompasses the entire board?
Conrad do you just want that link on the UBB â„¢ to open in a new window? If so it's fairly easy.
Just open the public_common.pl template and look for: my $ContactLine = qq!<a href="$contact_url">$vars_wordlets{contact_us}</a> | <a href="$vars_display{HomePageURL}" target="newpage">

Graeme, can you please let me know why you don't think enabling HTML is a good idea? ... Is it a safety issue?
Yes, it's a safety issue. For example, with imaginative use of HTML, people can sneak code into posts that obtains privileged information. Infopop keeps adding new "filters" to prevent this, but it's likely there are as yet undiscovered exploits, so turning off HTML is the safest approach.
You could try running a search on all forums for embed, script, onClick, onOpen and so on to see if anything comes up. (I never tried this so I'm not sure if the search even indexes these or not.)
Steve, forgot to ask, is the "sneaky html" only active when people open old threads where they could have been placed? Or could the board still be affected in new threads where the html is already switched off?
However, I believe the UBB search function only looks at the first part of a post (300 characters?). To search all the text, you would have to search the files directly on the server.
