RPMcCormick Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Suggestion: Instead of saying the appropriate forum - why not be explicit and point people there. In fact - I believe you can also embed a link directly to that forum or topic ... Feel free to delete this post if you don't want it tagging along with your announcement!

I tried, but it wanted to open a new window. I don't think that's appropriate, as it skews the number of Users online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefft Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I don't think that's appropriate, as it skews the number of Users online. Are you sure about that? If I browse the forums in five windows, I'd assume I'm only counted once. After all, it knows a distinct username for each of us and it probably counts users that way.

JT OK, I changed it for both SpamCop Help and SpamCop Mail. Please let me know how it works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT OK, I changed it for both SpamCop Help and SpamCop Mail. Please let me know how it works for you. I hit the link, which did open up a new window to the mail group. Bottom of that screen showed "just me" as on-line there. Popped back to this window, went back to the "front page". did a refresh, I was only counted once on that screen, even though both windows fired up. Hope this helps. Of course, going back to the newbie issue, should it open up a second window, vice doing a redirect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff G. Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Of course, going back to the newbie issue, is opening up a second window the way to do it, vice an actual redirect? Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to do it with an "actual redirect". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
