Clicking links

[JPolen01]

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.

^please. I thought it was just me, this is minor, but annoying.

Is it really that onerous to middle click?

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.

Once upon a time people used a human interface device (or HID) called a "mouse" to select and click on shit in the new computerized world. 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.
