"Thread Link" option v3.8, open in new window?
 

You know there is an option in Forum Manager called "Forum Link" to have the user go to a specified URL if they click on a forum title instead of taking them to the forum.

I would like to do the same for a thread - i.e. the thread would be listed as normal withing the forum, but if the user clicks on it, they will be taken to a particular URL in a new window instead of the thread.

I see the Redirect Thread to URL product for 3.8, but this does not allow a new window. The 4.0 version does, but I'm on 3.8.

Many thanks,
Paul.

Can't you just modify the 3.8 one to open it in a new window? You just need to set target="_blank" in the <a> tag to do so.

Thank you for the reply.

I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to 4 anyway.
