Yes. After reading your post, i realized that it really HAS to be changed.
I always go direct to http://forum.ableton.com, so it is
workable, but it is really bad for people who are new and come here
through the main site...

If you don't open in a new window, is it implied that you endorse the link? I wonder if this will soon become law somewhere...

endorse the link? never heard of that unwritten rule..

the rules I know..
- you don't want people to leave your page.. never..
- 99% of links on this forum are just small pleasure time sidetours, such as your nebtubes and engrishes..
so I don't want to hit 'previous page' all the time because I'm visiting this site, not a link hubtub..
- its annoying..
- and annoying..

It's true...if there is one reason why you must engage this feature, it's me. :(

OMG you actually use a one button mouse???

that one button mouse is silly, why limit your mouse when all the right click option exist in the OS, that was one thing I never understood.
