[pmwiki-users] Monobook new tab problem

[Inigo Aldazabal Mensa]

Hi,

Thanks all for your help and suggestions.

The ?action=browse&extraparam did the trick. Great!

To get the back-and-forth behavior between document view and discussion view
I created a Comments group following the recipe in
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/CommentPageLink (near the end, blue
text). Seems to work ok now.

Regards,

Inigo
