I just added a review to my site to test it out. I didn’t log in. I added a website. Afterwords I logged in to approve the review. Then I went to see what it looked like. My name was a hyper link. I clicked on it and it brought me to the website I added when creating the review. The only problem with this is that it didn’t open in new window. Also, I didn’t know it was going to take me to another website.

I could see this being an issue because someone may click on a name in a review and then they may think they are still in the same site. Or maybe they didn’t want to leave the site.

When a user leaves a review their name goes to their user profile. So, someone may notice this and think it’s happening the same way with a review where it’s not going to the same site.

Is there a way to make it open in a new window or possibly even better remove the option to add a website?

You can add this code snippet to remove the website field:
```
function my_disable_comment_url($fields) { 
    unset($fields['url']);
    return $fields;
}
add_filter('comment_form_default_fields','my_disable_comment_url');
```
Thanks
