I is liking the idea.
It would prevent me from accidently clicking "save target as".
Or even worse, "open", then I have to click back and basically start over again, its a kunt.

As I said try mozilla.

Cause iv just looked through the PHPBB3 control panel on another forum and it wont be that easy.

Unless john is an uber nerd who will add some sort of code into the css or even overall_header to make all <a href> have a target="new" :P

Do you have a scroller? most of them work as a centre button as well.

Work one scrolls but it wont work as a button. Not sure about the one at home. I imagine it would, it cost enough!

I have IE6 and centre button just changes windows.
So PFFT to you.
I don't see how people can not be stoked about this.
It's the new best thing about this forum.

Maybe coz I've been doin it for years :P

My mouse is wireless/laser, but its pretty old now.
The other comps mouse is laser, but its like a budget dell POS, but the scroller still works as a clicker.

TUFED6 - you can also move your middle finger from the right button to the scroller ;)

I do. Cheers mate.

Does it only work on new links? I clicked on some youtube link before and it followed the link in the existing window.

Its good, cause mozilla before today when you clicked a link ended up opening up in the same page, usually was annoying after you watch 6 or 7 thinks on U porn and wanna go back and reply about the video in the thread.
