And the middle click thing would be useful if I had a mouse with 3 buttons. Or rather, if I had a mouse at all.

CTRL&Click works too

Haha, I'm not sure if I'd like that, but to each his own.
By the way, clicking the tab with the MMB closes it.
CTRL&T opens a new tab, CTRL&SHIFT&T re-opens a closed tab.
CTRL&F4 closes a tab.
Alt&Click does a download dialogue.

I always have mouse gestures installed for forward/back.
clicking RMB with LMB pressed is forward, clicking LMB with RMB pressed is backwards.
Makes you surf really quickly.
I don't use it here as my trackball has forward/reverse buttons.

Hehe, I edited the post because I realized I didn't quite say it correctly.

Ah well, too quick.
RMB open in tab is what I did too until I accidentally clicked MMB

Hey, is there anyone else who noticed that the spoiler tags are not working? Maybe I'm not using them right? I tried using them a few minutes ago, inputting the text into the little box that pops up, but then when I submit the post it shows nothing.

When I input text, in the text box the tags go something like this:

[ SPOILER = "text blah blah blah" ][/SPOILER]

without the spaces of course, and nothing in between the actual tags. I'm wondering if they disabled the spoiler tags? It probably took a long time to get them implemented, and now they're gone? Hmmm....

Spoiler for why isn't this working:

Not disabled

Burning Down · 05-11-2011, 11:58 AM

I figured out why they weren't working for me. It has been awhile since I've actually used them so I guess I forgot how

Spoiler for title goes here:

There we go. Problem solved.

Is there a way to tag a member in a specific post or thread, alerting them to something that is about them or that you think may interest them?

(ex: When making a new thread about a band that you think another user may like, you could "tag" them in the thread, alerting them to it, even though they have not subscribed.)

The CP would probably fill up quickly with notifications like that. I'd rather the person just PM me the link to whatever they think would interest me, if they want to bring it to my attention directly.

The list has already been submitted though...
