There's something wrong at your end, then. It should work.
Ok, if it's only me then I will have to work around that issue somehow but I don't know what I changed. I always used middle mouse button to open in new tab since years.
Looking at the code:
<a href="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=post;quote=1191483;topic=109482.0;…"
onclick="doQuote(1191483, 'a31ff84f61f96a0348095e93a33e8e8f'); return false;">…
</a>
I see "onclick" in combination with a href. According to
this, onclick will not get fired on firefox, IE and opera.
May I ask to cancel the event or whatever it takes to restore the old behavior for middle mouse buttons in opera (and safari), too?
(Am I the only user of chromium or is the issue still something else?)
