Just happened to me with the pilot thread Jen. A right pain in the posterior!

Right click and Open In New Window? 

Daniel stop being sensible. Thank you.

If you're using Firefox, go to 'Tools' at the top, then 'Options', and click on 'tabs'. There's an option there to 'open new windows in a new tab instead'.

I find it very useful...I get lost easily....

i very rarely click on links, does my head in. I do wish people would just copy and paste the relevant bit of the article

Now why didn't I think of that?

Right click... new tab?


Z.

Me too ...  and I'm always a bit suspicious of opening links anyway

No, how dare you suggest that I may do that at least three times a day, maybe!!

Aye,a bit irritating.

Awaits forum defenders...calling us eejits.

Suspect links? .... AVG / Zone Alarm Pro our my friends .. I laugh in the face of your suspect links



Z.

Yes ... I mean no.

Hover your cursor over the link and look at what it says bottom left.

Of course that's the solution, but would I think of that? Probably not.

I can't recall having the problem on the old forum. Is it something that can be set up by the mods, so that a new window always opens when following links?

it's in your browser options jen.

Mine automatically open in a  new tab.

Ok, I think I've found that option jackson. I'll give it a try! Now I'll probably crash my pc!

While we are at it.... who stole tab scrolling from my Firefox?


Z.

What is tab scrolling?

I used to be able to put my mouse cursor over a tab (when I have a load open > 12 I think) and the scroll wheel would slide them left and right... somehow it seems to have got disabled on this PC running Version 3.5.3 but not on another... since then I have learnt Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+8 will jump to tabs 1-8 respectively and Ctrl+9 takes you to the last tab


Z.

I don't know if i ever had that....

Now you see when I was reading this all I heard in my head was the noise that the teacher in Charlie Brown made when talking - "waaaa waaaa waaaa waaaaa waaaa"

Total gobbledy gook to me lol

Now that didn't work! Can anyone tell me how to set my browser (IE) to open links in a new window please? Thank you.  Apart from right clicking and telling it to. I'll never remember to do that!
I've got to go to work now, but hopefully, some kind helpful person will have posted some help here when I get back.
