If someone posts a link on the activity eg: blah blah blah – http://yourlink.com, is it possible to let that link open in a new window? How can this be done?

Use a javascript solution.

Something like this will work:

Make sure you change the selector so it matches the activity content container and not the entire document!

Thanks @r-a-y. I found this plugin that seems to do the trick – http://www.semiologic.com/software/external-links/

Surprised that it works with BP!

Didn’t know that plugin. I solved this problem with my own function…

@ali would you mind sharing the function that you used to get the links to open in a new window? The above mentioned plugin is not working for me.
