When we click on 'view latest post' can we get the result to open as a new screen so we don't lose our search results?

I think you'd have to dive into the guts of the php BB system to do that.
Have you tried right-clicking and choosing "open in new window"?
Alternatively, you could use another browser which supports "tabbed browsing". Personally, I like Deepnet Explorer -- it's got its quirks, but it hangs off MSFT's Internet Explorer and the security is tight.
With it, all I do it is click and drag the 'view latest post' and it opens in a new tab.
See http://www.deepnetexplorer.com/download.asp et al. ibid.

Hi OH-
From C|NET, these are the types of browsers that computer users use:
IE6 – 85%
Firefox – 10%
IE5, 5.5 – 2%
Various – 3%
The solution therefore is to support IE. The simple non-solution is to hold down the shift key when clicking on the link. I was thinking more of a fix. Of course, this would require "diving into the guts". Umm... I love the smell of blood and guts in the morning. :cafe:

Well... this fix works and will still validate the XHTML (if desired).
In 'search.php', add the following script to the head section:
[code:1:afc57d7546]<script type="text/javascript">
function NewPage() {
if(!document.getElementsByTagName ) { return; }
var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName( "a" );
for( var loop = 0; loop < anchors.length; loop++ ) {
var anchor = anchors[ loop ];
if( anchor.getAttribute( "href" ) ) {
anchor.target = "_blank"; } } }
</script> [/code:1:afc57d7546]
In 'search.php', append the body command to contain the following:
[code:1:afc57d7546]<body onload="NewPage()";> [/code:1:afc57d7546]
The same problem exists with the index page too, but it's tolerable there. The real improvement would come with the search page.
