Mods,

Is there a way to change a setting so that links from the board open in a new window. That's how it was with the old software. As it is now, when I open a link it always navigates away from PF's and it sucks.

ever thought about asking your admin?

The goons at my office would probably say it causes a virus. Just like when they told me the portable install of foobar I was using is "know [sic] to cause virus on computers."

Morons. They shortly there after asked me what foobar was...

I work for a company with more than 200,000 employees. Special requests like that are not an option.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

It's an open source music player, and one of the highest-regarded in the audiophile community. It takes less resources than windows media player, and when you're running Civil 3D you need all the system resources you can have.

Not trying to heap stuff on you SmooPower, but I've always been wont for an option to view all pages of a thread. Is the reason that this is not offered because opening a thread of excessive length in such a manner *cough* [deleted] *cough* would slow down the board?

Maybe there is a phpBB3 mod for that.

Can we get the next and previous page links moved down near the actual rundown of pages at the bottom right? Or make them buttons instead of text? I seem to remember them being in different places on the old layout

if they were slightly larger that would be nice as well.
