Open PM in a new window.

[dekaybrown]

Is there a way to open a PM in a new window, so as to not lose your work while typing?

Thanks.

actually you can not receive any PM while you are filling an existing form, so you have no trouble loosing your work...

Not so.

I am lead admin, I compose really long posts sometimes, and my users PM me all the time.

I'd like to open the PM, reply and then return to what I was doing.

Nothing like having 2/3 of a paragraph written when I notice I have an unread message.

So far I am forced to copy my work to notepad, then re-paste it back to my editor.

Thanks.

It seems to me like that would be incredibly annoying 95% of the time - If I understand correctly, you want the "__ unread private messages" link to open up in a new window. If this is the case, every time you click that link in the forums, a new window opens up. So if you're just browsing around the forums and need to read a PM, it opens in a separate window, regardless of whether or not you're writing a post.

Seems to me like you should just....not click on any links while you are working on a post ;)

If you absolutely must read a PM while you're typing something, then hold down your shift key and click on the PM link...or just open a new window manually and navigate to the PM.

Right click on the private messages link and choose 'Open in New tab' or 'Open in new window'. You really need a special mod to do that for you.

Cool, Thanks and yes it's annoying!

Finally promoted 2 members to moderator status to handle a lot of the small stuff, so I can actually enjoy my forum more.
