I noticed on the Snitzbitz Forum that they have a links category that links to external links rather than Forum topics.
http://www.snitzbitz.com/forum/default.asp
How can I do this??

| if you are logged in as an admin and go to default.asp, you should notice a little globe icon down the right hand side of the table (to the right of the category heading), this is to create a new link instead of a new forum |

| That would have to be modified in the code. By default, the forum sets all links to open in a new window. While its a very debatable issue, I'd recommend you continue to let the external links open in a new window... but that's just me. |

Fine the following beginning on line 498 of default.asp and remove the code in green:if ForumFType = 0 then
ChkIsNew(ForumLastPost)
else
Response.Write "<a href=""" & ForumURL & """ target=""_blank"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconUrl,"Visit " & chkString(ForumSubject,"display"),"hspace=""0""") & "</a>"
end if
Response.Write "</td>" & vbNewline & _
" <td"
if ForumFType = 1 then
Response.Write " colspan=""4"""
end if
Response.Write " bgcolor=""" & strForumCellColor & """ valign=""top"">" & _
"<font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><span class=""spnMessageText""><a href="""
if ForumFType = 0 then
Response.Write "forum.asp?FORUM_ID=" & ForumID
else
Response.Write ForumURL & """ target=""_blank"
end if |

That’s was interesting shaggy all that did was to remove the little world icon  it still opened up in a new window.my mistake thankx shaggy
I am using it link to the classifieds mod which is the only external link so it’s confusing to have just one section that opens in a new window.
Whist im on the subject of the classifieds mod I don’t suppose there is anyone here that knows of a mod for it that allows admin posts before the become publicly available… I have asked this in Mods W/C Forum but no one has answered there

Are sure you only deleted what I highlighted in green and didn't accidnetally delete one or more quatation marks? If so, can you post a *.txt copy of your default.asp?
