Okay.

When browsing this board, I go through from the top right clicking and opening up the forums I am intested in. Then I go through the forums I have opened and do the same with the topics..

..I just thought that the majority did too.. :(

In NS 7.0 pr 1/Mozilla you can center click (the scroll bar) to open a page in a new tab.

For the most part I act as if there is no right click..... keyboard shortcut...

Well... If there is no right click, I open up my filters and set it to allow right-click, then refresh the page and I can right click :)

I right-click on every site I visit. Especially when I click on a link and I dont want to loose my current page or if I want to copy a lnik and IM it to a friend.

Do you all have a wheel button on your mouse for scolling down the threads?

I dont know what I'd do without Shift-Left and without a scroll wheel.

hmmmm

I guess i'd right-click and use the up/down arrows :D

It's a nice subtle alternative to the old ALT-F4 combo :D

I use Shift+Left Click. The Right Click + Open in New Window is too time consuming for me.

I've got two mice on my laptop - the built in touchpad and an external two button mouse (both of which work simultaneously).

The touchpad I can drag my finger up and down the right edge to scroll up and down or drag it along the bottom edge to scroll from left to right - I use that all the time.

When I use the actual mouse, I can press both mouse buttons simultaneously and it switches to scroll mode - much easier and quicker than bothering with a scroll wheel. I mainly use the external mouse when doing graphics, I use the touchpad for everything else


On WHT I normally ShiftClick 3 forums open at once, and then from there all the messages I'm interested in. If I did it any other way it would take me all day to read messages :D

Hmmm... reminds me of an evil trick I used to do on IRC once.

Change nick to "You" and then in a channel type:

/me have mail. Press ALT+F4 to retrieve.

You'd be surprised how many quit messages would follow :cool: :D

I just tried that with mozilla and it only opens a new window.

In options, you can specify that the center click opens a window in a new tab instead of the default new window. You can also have it open the tab in the background (recommended).
