easy computer configuration question

Okay, I've been here an hour and already I get to show everyone how stupid I am. I got the main forum to show as a complete window with threads that pop up in a separate window by using the address http://www.woodcentral.com/cgi-bin/messages.pl?index

What address do I use to get the same treatment for this Hand Tool forum? I tried a few variations of the above inserting "newforum" in place of "messages". That did not work and since I do not know what part of the address does the trick, I will just let you tell me. Sorry for being so inept.

Tom, kickin' off the flippers and removin' the snorkel and settlin' in.

Hi Tom,

Try doing a right mouse click on the message window (the upper one) and click on Open Frame in a New Window.

This will open the message headers in a new window. If you click on a message in the "new" window you can toggle to the "old" window to see the message detail.

I have been here a while and gotten used to the format as presented and just worked with it. All of these new ideas have had me trying new things to view the forums. This one has worked for me, but there may be a better solution.

Replace "messages" with "handtools"

Christof's answer is correct but got truncated.
