[OT] Maximizing A Window

Stupid question here but how do you automatically maxmize a window when you open a link? For some reason mine opens to like half size and then I have to resize it.

I'd like to know, as well. It's annoying.

Don't "maximize" the window you use to browse in the first place. Instead increase its size manually to match that of your screen (as in, dragging the window borders to the screen borders). Then all new windows you open should have the same dimensions.

By default, VBulletin opens links in a new window, and how that window opens is controlled by your browser. I don't think there's any easy way to tell IE or Netscape to open new windows maximised.

A workaround is to resize the new window to fill your screen, and then close it. The browser should remember the size of the window, and use it next time.
