In 3.0 I did this by modifying bbcodeparse, but this seems to have no effect? I have removed target=_blank but links posted within posts still open in new window.

Version 3.5.0 actually doesn't use includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php file anymore. It must be a leftover from 3.0.x.
I don't know which file contains that code in 3.5.0. If no one else here knows, then you might try posting on www.vbulletin.org. -
Ah, thanks. When I upgraded I just left everything and just over-wrote the old files where needed.
Will try vB.org as well, though have never had much luck with help on there.Comment

isn't there any easy way to do this ? with either 3.5/3.6 versions.My Sites :Comment

This is NOT tested, but it might work if I've found the right bit of code. Apologies if not.
In includes/class_bbcode.php
Find this bit:
Code:// standard URL hyperlink return "<a href=\"$rightlink\" target=\"_blank\">$text</a>";
Code:// standard URL hyperlink return "<a href=\"$rightlink\">$text</a>";
NB: Remember by doing this you are modifying the source code, albeit just a tiny bit, and therefore technically Jelsoft cannot support your board unless you restore the orginal file!MARK.B

Thanks for the hint. I thought there might be a user option.
Personally I don't like modifying the code, so I'm not going to do this. Rather I would like to put in a formal request for this. Why does vbulletin inforce this new window... it should be optional. Most users are capable of using the shift or crtl keys to control new windows . Aren't they ?My Sites :Comment

There is definitely no user option.
Might be worth putting something about this is suggestions/feedback.MARK.B
