 * This does not work for us. It doesn’t open external links in a different tab.

 * Hi,
 * It might have been a cache issue.
 * It doesn’t seem like the plugin is installed at the moment. If you install it
   again please let me know and I will have a look.

 * Just make sure the JS regular expression is correct, or if you don’t want to 
   use one make sure that option field is empty.
 * Otherwise, try clearing any cache plugin/service you have active.

 * I am having the exact same problem. Used to work fine but now suddenly it is 
   not working at all. Any ideas?
