New weird tab behavior?

Post by kevs1 »

Any one else notice? You command click (Mac), and send new page to own tab, but you don't go with it! You remain on previous tab..?

Go to Preferences > General > Tabs and check

"When you open a link in a new tab switch to it immediately"

Talking about an extension, browser email, email type (e.g. Google)?

Robert,
Most likely an email from this forum.....perhaps?

I've noticed that a "few" people are not being notified of a reply.

Do we have a forum wizard? It is definitely not me!

Does forum have a preference to always be notified, or does one have to manually check that box below every time?

The default for that setting is no. It can be changed on a per post basis, too. See the checkboxes at the bottom of the "post a reply" box.

Attach a signature (signatures can be altered via the UCP) <-- checked
Quote the last message <-- unchecked
Notify me when a reply is posted <-- unchecked

Please do not PM me for personal support. Keep posts here in the Forums instead and we all learn.
