Description: This views your Forum Home Page in your admincp when you click Forum Home Page in your admincp in the right hand corner or you can click New which will do the default.

This is a simple tweak, it really bugs me when I have to have two windows open on my site to do work.

Open your admincp/index.php and modcp/index.php file
Find:

			<a href="../<?php echo $vbulletin->options['forumhome']; ?>.php<?php echo $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q']; ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $vbphrase['forum_home_page']; ?></a>
			|
			<a href="index.php?<?php echo $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']; ?>do=cplogout" onclick="return confirm('<?php echo $vbphrase['sure_you_want_to_log_out_of_cp']; ?>');"  target="_top"><?php echo $vbphrase['log_out']; ?></a>

Replace with:

			<a href="../<?php echo $vbulletin->options['forumhome']; ?>.php<?php echo $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q']; ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $vbphrase["new"]; ?></a>
			|
			<a href="../<?php echo $vbulletin->options['forumhome']; ?>.php<?php echo $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q']; ?>" target=""><?php echo $vbphrase['forum_home_page']; ?></a>

Don't take offence, but i hate you? I really really doo! Last night i was trying to figure out how to change that little link at the top to show in the main frame, this mod was my idea!! Curse you theif! CURSEE!!!!

Owell, guess i will save my time and just use yours? Also i will see how you did it :| I cant belive how hard it is to edit the admin cp, the forums are so easy, then the admin cp is like not even in english programming >_>

Are you that lazy to make one file change?

[Tanabe]

Well I edited my index.php file in my admin folder like it says to do so but It still doesn't work. I just get taked to the forum like it did when I didn't edit the file.

Edit: Nevermind, get out of my admincp then go back in for it to work. ^^

Thanks!
