So I like to open up threads in new tabs, read them, and close them. Most of the time, I just use the center (scroll) button on my mouse. However, on this (the YYE) forum, whenever I center-click a thread on the forums, I’ll get a new tab with the link I’m going to, and the current tab will also change to the link I want to go to. This doesn’t happen on other forums, only this one, and it’s kind of annoying to have 2 tabs of the same page open whenever I center click. Has anyone else had this problem with the forum before? ---

Doesn’t do that for me. If I center click on a topic, it opens the topic in a new tab and leaves the existing tab where it was. I’m using firefox on linux. ---

I think it might just be a problem with google chrome. ---

I’m using Google Chrome, one on an XP machine and one on a W7 machine. Both have this problem =P ---

I’m using google chrome and XP, so I don’t think that it’s a problem with either of those. ---

Huh? This happens to me at home with Ubuntu 11.04 and Chrome… But here I’m using Vista(ugh don’t get me started…) and Internet Explorer(aka Internet Exploder :P) and it works just fine. But then again I’m so used to the right clicking method it’s about as fast as middle clicking anyways. > [@jhb8426](#): > > I’m using firefox on linux. High five for Linux! ---

So this only seems to happen in Chrome, not Firefox. Oh, and I did ctrl+click on Chrome. Same new tab + old tab changes pages thing going on as well. ---

Maybe it’s a problem with Windows 7? I’m using XP, and no matter what browser I use, it works fine. ---

I can tell you that it’s not 7 either. Maybe you need to set it up to do what you want other than hoping it will just do it for you.
