Optionally open thread in new window

This is something my users really enjoy. Appended to the end of each thread title in the forumdisplay is an image that they can click on to open it in a new window.

In your threadbit template find:

<strong><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a></strong>

Add this underneath:

<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" target="_blank"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/new_window.gif" alt="New Window" width="16" height="16" border="0"></a>

Now upload this image to your forums/images/misc directory

That's it!

Did you upload the image to your board/images/misc directory? If you have a special theme you may have to upload it there.

Hmm.. Are you using 3.5.0? (it says that under your avatar) I am not sure what (if any) differences there are between the two versions. I would doulbe check your threadbit template and look for similarities.
