Is there a way to stop this behavior? I would like to be able to middle click a thread and have it open in a new tab without opening the link I just clicked in the same tab I am in.

Not necessarily on this site, but I've experienced this on my laptop and not on my PC. Maybe there is some kind of setting related to your mouse? I'm currently on my PC and I can middle click links without having the current page change.

Tried changing settings under board preferences for the forum skins and it was just that skin.

Which skin? I would be interested in checking out that behavior. I know I use one the ugliest skins on the forums, envision, so it understandable results may vary. Maybe Craig of Az can look in to this if it is linked to a setting based on the skin.

Yep, same thing happens to me. I have no idea why middle click behavior acts that way with that skin.
