    I was reading your explanation about new SEO automatic follow/nofollow links and how Jatra handles internal and external linking automatically, thank you for keeping us updated.

    I want to request a small improvement making external links automatically open in a new tab.

    Right now they open in the same page, which causes users to leave the community unintentionally. Having them Open in a new tab improves navigation and user experience (users stay on the community).

    I will add my suggestion here. Even if someone is opening internal link (like in my case - link added in clusters/ private channel) it should open in new tab. This might impact bounce rate. Otherwise what happens - if a targeted reader comes to forum - they might read one or two links at the most and leave the site.

    Update: External links like Google should open in a new tab now and internal links like Jatra Feedback should open in the same tab.
