HabboxForum does occasionally get a few phishing attacks and sometimes users do get tricked into clicking things they don't wish to or accidentally click things in signatures etc so I have had an idea.
Obviously you can always view where a hyperlink goes by scrolling over it, it'll appear in your browsers bar at the bottom but sometimes I forget to look before I click a hyperlink and I imagine some others do.
When you click a hyperlink to an external website, perhaps a little javascript alert could pop-up asking whether you wish to continue or not. If that was not possible maybe next to the hyperlink, brackets were added to it automatically showing the External URL.
Here's one example (Sorry it's so bad): http://www.habboremix.net/viewprofile.php?user_id=7945
Click on one of the 'Habbo Remix' images to see what I mean, or you could do this
