Bumps once then stops

[Evan933]

Hi, the autobumper was working great until it stopped for some reason. When I start the autobump it bumps once then opens a new tab to https://disboard.org/dashboard/servers and then the timer goes blank --:--:-- and doesn't autobump anymore. I tried reinstalling the plugin but it doesn't change anything.

Found out, disboard issue, not the auto bump.

This is almost certainly happening because of the target="_blank" on the bump link.

You can remove that from the tab by running the following code in your dev console:

document.getElementById('bumpme').removeAttribute('target')

I'm running that code in a tab right now to confirm it fixes the issue, so I'll check back here in a couple hours.

The code above has now been tested and I can confirm that it does fix this issue. I will provide a couple more solutions another solution and wrap this up.

This code will remove all link targets on a page, so all links are unable to force a new tab to open:

Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('a[target]')).forEach(e => e.removeAttribute('target'))

This extension claims to do the same thing, without any hassle:

I'm running the Death To _blank extension in a tab right now to confirm it's an equivalent fix for this issue, so I'll circle back here in a couple hours.

@Evan933 no problem

[alexgurrola]

I tested the extension and it failed to work. The code I created for the console all work properly, though.

@Theblockbuster1 Are you able to run the code in my snippet directly inside the extension?

Thanks for all of your contributions, I'm releasing a fix now :)
