Excellent little module, well configurable. Did not need to RTFM to get it to work :)
Does exactly what it needs to without overextending. Able to configure it exactly as I wanted in <5 minutes. Has option to open external links in new window/tab which is exactly what I wanted.
Documentation was a little bit light but I didn't really need to reference it to get things up and running.
Easy to use. Providing the feature that links open in new tabs is crucial for keeping visitors on your site.
Some more features would be nice. But essential in my eyes.
This module is really useful to me in keeping consistency in which links open in new tabs/windows and which open in the same. And I think consistency helps users know what is going on. Also the little icons give users a heads-up when a new window or a mail link is coming up. Very easy to use, very handy.
This is a very handy and useful module that when activated and configured automatically detects external links (e-mail links as well) and puts an icon to indicate that it is an external link. On configuration it opens all external links in a new window which is great as the visitor reading that particular writeup does not have to leave the page to view something linked and related to the write up.
Just a reference I'm currently having problem with my blogger account if I had a module/script like this in blogger I could open all the external links in a new window but... If you have a Drupal blog then this module will save you lots of time where you don't have to add target="_blank" in all your external links. All in all, this module is usable in a forum or a blog Drupal site to keep your visitors to your site.
