Description:
In vBulletin forums, open new topics in tabs. x-browser tested FF2, Opera(9.25), IE7.
BUGFIX - March 4 - maxthreads open now works correctly.

Click checkbox to show/change settings on-the-fly, or save for persistent storage.

Options
maxlnks - maximum threads to open 0=all new threads
showBtnIf - minimum threads before button display 0=always show, i.e.5=show if > 4 new threads
unread||first post - open unread threads(normal) - uncheck to open first post in thread.
useTimeout - toggle delay for thread-read cookie setting true||false
Setting a timeout didn't work for me, YMMV try =true
tOut - if using cookie set timeout, delay in milliseconds (cookies won't be stored if too low!)

/*
  Created by Gollum from an idea/suggestion/request at us.o by @Seph_VIII
  Expanded upon by @Mithrandir(us.o)
      - with help from @Dr. Evil(de ff-user-group)
          ... max links to open, conditional button display, timeout delay, extra button styling, windowOpen fallback for GM_openInTabs
   Gollum: added quick element check for vB board, plus x-browser support - tested in Opera(9.25) and IE7(IEPro), plus option to ignore timeout delay.
   
   UPDATE - 2 MARCH 2008
   Added - as suggested by Mithrandir - option to choose beginning post in thread instead of last unread post
   Added a form for changing & saving settings - save for persistence, and/or change for one-off usage
      Had to do some code gymnastics for the form to play nice in IE - creating checkboxes was troublesome
      
    BUGFIX - 4 MARCH 2008
    @fuxxi highlighted maxthreads open error - am i dumb #$%? (only excuse is I was working on 3 versions and got them crossed up)  - fixed
    @Mithrandir reported security error - probably fails because of 'globalStorage' option in "variable save" routines - removed that option, no relies on GM_ routines for FF.
