I love the idea but can the admin choose which member groups are allowed to use this?

Did you really have to post 30 times with the exact same copy/paste thank you message in every mod?

Installed on 3.8, doesn't seem to be working. Fully installed, nothing shows up when I edit threads.

Very cool mod but I'll wait till for this with an option to open the link in a new window.
Kind of defeats the purpose when you want to keep visitors on your site.

I agree entirely with XtremeOffRoad.

This product seems like an excellent addition and it is working just fine for me.

But there is one design flaw...

There is no ability to make the redirection open in a new browser window. (Unless I missed it somewhere???)

If the redirect link happens to be external to my forum (such as Google, etc.), I have lost the user.

If, on the other hand, the redirect opens to a new browser window, my user still has my forum "in sight" and a direct means to get back into it.

This should be easy to add to the code, shouldn't it??

Thanks

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
