Description
On some sites when you follow an external link, you get a wrning or something saying "you are now leaving this site..." or similar. It might be good to have something like that for hyperactive. Or maybe it would be too annoying?
Currently we are linking to other sites and importing rss feeds and it is not necessarily immediately obvious that those links go off site.

Personally I think that would be too annoying. I think the two main reasons sites use those warnings are to discourage people leaving, and to foil password phishing sites.
I don't know of any phising atacks against hyperactive yet, and I don't see a reason to make it harder for people to leave the site when the want to.
Does anyone think there would be advantages to adding such a feature to hyperactive?

I think all links should open in a new window so users can just close the new one to come back to "our" sites.
