I do, actually.

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 .

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...

This.
I'm merging this thread with the existing suggestions thread.

James, just keep that as "something I wish would happen" and not as a legit suggestion. You have a ratio or something and then you've got people like me posting bullshit in the Metal forum and accomplishing nothing. There's nothing wrong with things anyways. People post on stuff they are knowledgeable about and want to talk about and that's fine by me.

It was, obviously it's not possible to make that happen. It just pisses me off, I see sex discussed more than music ever since Ill Duce joined.

I don't see why it can't be a legitimate improvement. This is a music site as I stated before. If people posted more about music, maybe this place wouldn't be so dead.

I don't think having a lounge is affecting the music sections negatively at all. If people join this site to talk about music, then that's what they'll do. If they join the site to have general discussions in the non-music forums, then that's what they'll do. If they want to do both, then guess what...

The fact that both exist on the same site isn't a problem. Those who are here for music discussion shouldn't have any issues with unrelated conversations that are going on in non-music sections. If they do, then perhaps they should evaluate their own priorities...
