++ How to change forum style? ++

Problem Description:
Dear All again,

I'm newbie for YabbSE.
In my opinion, when I clicked on the threads , I want they opening like pop-up into a new page (not as same page as the main page). Because sometimes I'd like to read more than one thread in the same time. But I don't want to hold on the "Shift" button to open the thread in new windows everytime.

Do you understand me? Could everyone tell me, how can I edit my forum to be like that please?

P.S. How to open threads in the new windows!

Yours truly,
sa-Nuker

To answer your question briefly, you'd need to search the source code for all the appropriate anchors (<a href>s) and add target="_blank" attributes, but I'm sorry, I'm just about to head off down the road and can't tell you off the top of my head which files and which anchors you'd need to modify.

It's also worth pointing out that many people don't like too many links opening in new windows and some don't like any because it takes the choice away from the user, so I'd tread carefully and consider all the implications before making a modification like this!

Okay, I'll make a right decision again.
Thanks for your help.
But I'm still trying to find which PHP file I have to change this!!
