MOD Function: make it easier for your visitors, moderators and of course yourself to check more than one
topic at the same time by adding an icon to open the topics in a new window.

Open forum.asp and go to line 327:

Add the same code right below that line

<font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><a href="topic.asp?<%= ArchiveLink %>TOPIC_ID=<% =Topic_ID %>"><% =ChkString(left(rs("T_SUBJECT"), 50),"display") %></a> </font>
Add the following right before that:
<td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" valign="center" align="center"><a href="topic.asp?<%= ArchiveLink %>TOPIC_ID=<% =TopicID %>" target="_blank"><img src="icon_newwin.gif" border="0" alt="Open Topic In A New Window" title="Open Topic In A New Window" width="15" height="15"></a></td>
Go to line 412:
<td colspan="5">
Change the 5 into 6
Go to line 436:
<img alt="Locked Topic" src="images/icon_folder_locked.gif" width="15" height="15"> Locked topic.<br>
Add the following right below that:
<img src="icon_newwin.gif" height="15" width="15" alt="Open Topic In A New Window" title="Open Topic In A New Window"> Open topic in a new window.<br>
That's it!
Next up are some extra comments:
- keep in mind that the URLs for the icon might be different if you dont upload it to the same directory as your forum files.
- make a backup of your files before you make any changes!
- use of this MOD is at your own risk (not that anything can go wrong, but it sounds cool 
)
- Support can be gotten in this forum
- if you need help, make sure you use a clear subject so I won't miss it (I normally don't check that forum!)
- good luck 
<edit> If you can't get it working and would like the file that already has the changes made, please reply to this topic so I know I won't be uploading it for no reason </edit>
<edit> This file, together with the image, a version of active.asp with the same functionality and a readme file can now be downloaded from http://www.ls3k.com/snitz/mods.asp?action=details&ID=114
Please note that the ASP files in the ZIP that you can download there have one extra functionality that is NOT in this file: topic paging has been added.
Please read the readme1st.txt file before you use the files!</edit>
