Disabled open in a new tab by scroll-wheel click - About xda-developers.com

I don't know why but such useful browser feature doesn't really work on XDA-Developers forums. For example I see a itneresting new on the right side widget. I middle mouse button click it, but it won't open in a new tab, but instead it will open in the current tab just like I would left click it. I can give you numbers of similiar behaviours like that over the xda. That's really annoying.
Why is that happening and are you guys ever going to fix it?

Suggest you try an alternate browser.
Also try a fresh profile in case something in your current profile is the cause.

Its not working for me can you suggest me an other way ?

Does it still work correctly on other sites?
Not a Chrome user so can't really help with it.
General troubleshooting though. Try other sites. Try a clean profile.
Try other tools with the problem site.

It does work correctly on every other website. There's no "clean profile" option in chrome and I have no idea what do you mean by "other tools".
This issue happens with particular stuff, like the widget with the news on the right side of the thread view.

I tried everywhere on the page on several pages (home, threads, single thread, profile, etc.) and all worked.

Are you using the new 2015 theme? I think there were one or two links on the old style which were like that, but it should be resolved now on the new style

Just middle button pressed "XDA PORTAL POSTS" news and it still opens up on the same tab. Even on 2015 / 2015 dark theme :/
I'd actually would prefer to use the old theme either way so I could use Dark XDA Stylish theme by @GermainZ as for me it looks much better. Just a presonal preference.

Thanks a lot! I'm out of thanks for today, but I'm glad it's fixed now. xda experience is now flawless IMO

@bitpushr
I'd also would love it if you could make the new xda look an option for logged in users, just like the forums are.

We had additional google analytics code on those links, my guess is that was blocking the open in new tab option. We made this change a long time ago so this must have been long-standing.

I tried skybook and mobilizer. neither worked very well. the basics were there but they both have a long way to go. the skybook app always failed to close properly and mobilizer never seemed to open properly.
This is not really an app, but some have suggested using the facebook page for iphone. I believe it is something like iphone.facebook.com or so.
EDIT: Na, I take it back. This certainly won't help you. I just tested the iphone facebook and did not like it. It seems that it uses resolutions for the iphone and everything looks big and blurry on the HD. Besides, that was no really what you were looking for anyway.
Here you go: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=16698519604
If you are going to use Facebook on a PDA, just use "m.facebook.com"... It is a web page obviously, but is formatted better for smaller screens...
Theres one being developed by this very site!

eBookLauncher (new homescreen)

I have finally got a nook
so, I have started porting my Sony homescreen replacement to work on the nook
so far it can get the list of books and shelves (collections), but not much else.
http://code.google.com/p/sonyprst1home/
I'll try to keep this thread updated with how it's going
please let me know if you would like to test this out (I can send you an apk to install)
All new releases will now be made on the google code page above.
it would be grat to have the apk and some screenshot
i would be interested to see a screen shot...
Awesome! Time to test it! I'm at school right now, so this is probably a terrible idea, but I might as well have something to do, right?
Edit: Have some screen shots. Ignore the 10:16 in corner of all the screen shots, I have an app that does that. (Sorry for the massive post)
Mini-Library / Homescreen
Pressing Menu on the Homescreen
Pressing "My Home Settings" here brings you to this screen
Library
Apps Page 1
Apps Page 2
It still seems to have various elements in color besides the app icons and the book covers.

if you use the apk from this thread, it uses a different method of accessing the database, and doesn't need permissions changed on the database file.
Wow, I love this forum!!
From what Googie posted, I can see this is another cool thing to try out.
Now to get an SD card.

Wow, thanks for the great work. Really nice application for too many books and collections.
However, as the project was opensource, are you going to release the modified source somewhere? in a branch or tag or something?
I would like to see the screensaver feature working for last launched book, would try myself if the code was available.
the code is already available at the google code site in the first post

As you mentioned the APK here has a different way of accessing some file, and I don't see a tag or branch for the nook, I understand that the code is the one for the PRS-T1, correct me if I am wrong.
It's the same code. I am making a single apk that will run on a Sony and a nook (and other devices in future)
First general release (0.1.0.00) which runs on both the Nook and Sony is now available on my google code page.

If you turn off NoScript, do you see them?
Try to allow *.xda-developers.com for your Javascript.
I'll give that a shot. Oddly, sometimes if I refresh the page they show up... sometimes
I also can't see any attachments for any threads. I noticed this about 2 weeks ago (or so). I figured it was just me but I see that it is still happening. I'm using Chrome.
I'm having the same problem, also using Chrome. Anybody figure out a fix for this?
Edit:
AdBlockPlus was doing it
Thanks geniustheanimal.

Disable wysiwyg in xda settings and you'll be able to see those, also there's a toggle button to switch the editor mode in ffox when posting a reply. That's the plus side of using something other than chrome, wysiwyg does not work on chrome without an extension. I prefer chrome though.

If I am not mistaken that problem exists only when we set xda to "xda 2013 beta" format at the bottom. I think all other display formats, including "xda 2013 beta-1024", work okay.

Yup it happens only with the 2013 theme, i don't use the 1024 version. Also switching between themes when that happens will temporarily fix it. But it's a pita to do that always.

XDA Forums keeps logging me in??

I'm experiencing a strange issue with XDA and it's forums. I'll click the XDA forum link on my bookmark bar (Chrome or Opera) and I will be auto logged in, so that's great. But if I click to go to any different page in XDA, it keeps re-logging me back in instead of remembering that I just did that.
Does anyone know a fix for this as it's quite annoying.

They didn't mention it but I can assure you it started when the new header has been updated for 2015 themes. I have tested and this login issue doesn't exist with other xda themes, e.g. 2013 theme.
Edit: the new forum header has been changed for 2015 themes at the very beginning of December (around December 5th)

Then you might have to re-install the Browser. Make sure to save your bookmarks in a file first.
I also have this problem and can confirm that changing the theme from 2015 Dark to 2013 fix the annoying "Redirecting..." issue.
Hope that it will be fixed for the Dark theme, too, because 2013' looks so old now!
