Clicking on Testimonial Signatures
Posted on 18. Feb, 2010 by Martin Jarvis in What's bugging you? - Website Issues
Testimonial Signatures are the bits of hyperlink text automatically placed at the front of your Vouchforthis testimonials when they appear on your web pages (see example on right). We insert these for you if you tell us what website you want to link to when you add your testimonial, and it saves you from having to mention the name and company of the testimonial giver in the testimonial itself. It also gives you the opportunity to give a little back to the testimonial giver by providing them with a link from your website.
One of our members has asked whether these links can open in a new window whenever anyone clicks on them, as at the moment the link opens on the same page. We think this is a good idea and will be implementing it within the next week or two, and will take a look at other such hyperlinks (for example, the ‘Request a Reference’ link) to see what can be done with those as well. We will let you know just as soon as these changes have been made.


This change is now complete. All new testimonial widgets will be automatically built so that external links open in a new window – thereby leaving the visitor on your website. Existing widgets will change only when something within the widget (such as adding a new testimonial, getting a testimonial verified etc.) occurs.
If you wanted to force your existing widgets to be rebuilt, just go to you “My Widgets” page, then edit your widget in a minor way (such as increasing or reducing your widget width)
