Clicking links - JPolen01 - 11-08-2012
Since the great forum debacle of 2012 whenever I click links in a post it redirects in the same window. It used to open a second tab. Now I have to right click and say "open in another tab" Is there a setting that got messed up? Been using chrome before and after the forum went down so it shouldn't be that. Any ideas?

i finally got mildly annoyed enough of having to center click links to pop a new tab that i'm going to resurrect Jon's post.

note - it won't fix current links unless the OP edits/saves, but it should work going forward.

Is it really that onerous to middle click?
Re: Clicking links - Sully - 05-17-2013
What the shit is middle click?
I solved this problem by not clicking links. If it doesn't load on this page, I don't want to see it.

Evolution happened and the 'mouse, grew three buttons, one on the left, one on the right, and a third in the middle. Now circa late 1900's/early 2000's it became popular to have multiple windows or tabs opened in a browser for ease of use and viewing pleasure. Developers, being the cunning bunch they are, configured default behavior for the often overlooked and under utilized middle button to generate a new tab when using it to click a link....hence middle click.
And that, Sully, is the story of how I met your mother.

Ahh I thought that might be it but then figured it was some special Mac crap that I wasn't cool enough for.
I remember my first mouse, that shit had two buttons and a mother f***in bouncy ball inside it. (It didn't really bounce though
) None of this fancy laser shit. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
