You really need to have the link from About eXcelon Stylus Studio to the Discussion Forum open in a new browser window. Right now it seems to hone in on the one window I DONT want to have changed and dump the webboard in there. Very impressive programming (mind reading software at the cutting edge!) but quite annoying.

If you're using Internet Explorer you could try changing the default
behaviour to requests to open browser windows from external applications.
For IE5 and IE6 this is in the Advanced tab of the Internet Options dialog
(menu Tools->Internet Options...). You'll need to uncheck the Browsing
option for "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts".
Not only will this stop Stylus re-using your important window, it'll stop
other applications doing it as well.
I'm afraid that Microsoft can probably take the credit for the mind reading.
