I use firefox and tabbed browsing when i'm using boards. The issue i have with this is that when i have six or more tabs open, i cant see which tab is for which forum/thread. This is because the title of each page begins with "boards.ie/vbulletin". Is there any chance that this could be switched so that it says for example…

Much easier now to click back and forth between the different fora.

Thank you.

There is.

Download Firefox. Right-click on the links bar, and select New Folder. Call it whatever the hell you want. Add a link to all your subbed forums into that folder. To open all links in tabs, either click on the folder with the mousewheel or right-click on it, and select Open in Tabs.

Et Voila.

I think there is an extension for Firefox called Tabbrowser Preferences that allows you to customise tabbing. Personally I have it that left clicks open new tabs anyway.

Thanks for that seamus. I thought of doing that before, but not all my subbed forums have new content each time I visit, so I'd be opening tabs unnecessarily...

Beat me to it. I wouldn't recommend doing that with 22 webcomics on a fairly slow computer though....

Mmm regarding the old style links, the problem is that you have to include a page number for posts on subsequent thread pages and it assumes that people use the same number of posts per page, 20, which isn't always true So I can't implement this at the moment. I did give it a go but will need to look at it some more.
