I know it's not really a bug, but is there any way to make clicking a link in the forums default to opening up in a new tab or window? Since toon rarely posts anything but links anymore and I hang on every word he posts I usually end up four or five links away from wicked.

I also know there is a keyboard shortcut to open a link in a new tab, and that I can right click and open in a new tab, the fact is I don't always remember to do this.

This one has been on my to-do list for a while. I thought it was annoying that links would use the same window. Let's see what i can find

Now that one i DIDN'T know. Ctrl Click is what i was referring to earlier. Middle click is pretty easy but it would still be nice for it to be default.

Actually when I first got a wheel mouse umpteen years ago I didn't even know the wheel could be pushed down as a button. I don't think I realized that until I started playing WoW and was quickly running out of mouse keys.

Now I used this (with all the weights in because I'm a real man):

Side buttons when browsing act as forward/back. Middle wheel button as open in new window.

I have the mx500. I bound the side buttons to ctrl and shift. It comes in handy in any number of situations. Including wow when you can bind all those keys close to your left hand to ctrl+ and shift+ which gives you three times the number of keys you normally get. Although I could never get Ctrl+shift+button to work. Guess it was mouse overload.

Mostly I just use it when manipulating files. Ctrl selecting or shift selecting is made much easier.
