No right click?!!? Bah!

[Bryce]

Starting today "right clicking" doesn't work, meaning I can't open a thread in a new window. It's sort of irritating, since having to back through several pages and hoping things will be as you left them is time consuming and unreliable. Like trying to tie ones shoes wearing ski mitts.
Is there something wrong at my end? If it's a new forum policy is it really necessary?

i just right clicked on this one and it opened.

Worked fine for me too.

Maybe you are using a Mac?

 

[Bryce]

Thanks for the responses, and sorry about any false accusations... I still can't open anything in a new window, etc. Must be at my end I guess, but I'm baffled as to how; worked fine earlier today!
I'm using a PC. Come to think of it, don't Mac's usually have only one mouse button? Oh, I get it...

 

[peterc]

My Mac has two mouse buttons.
Reboot, pray to Windows gods etc.

Good advice, Peter- I logged off of RFF and back on, and shezzam! Works like new. Glad my Fuji hasn't got Intel inside.

 

[peterc]

Glad it works again. Now you'll just get VM warnings for having too many windows open. ;->

Perhaps with Windows there's an alternative to using the right mouse button? Such as holding a keyboard key and left-clicking to get the same effect? Well, maybe that would be too Mac-like... 😀

May I suggest Firefox (www.mozilla.com). Control + right click will open a link into a new tab, less windows to mess with.

Firefox is good for you.

Two words: middle click.
