Hi all, Random question... I've noticed the past two days that Right-Click functionality appears to be disabled on the Forums. I.e. I cannot right-click a post and open it in a new tab - I do this a lot....just not here any more. I'm using the latest Firefox on W10, nothing unusual there, and other forums, Facebook, eTailers sites etc. all work perfectly. Anyone else, or a weird quirk all of my own? Scoob.
On my mouse I click the scroll wheel to do that example: on the reply button I just put the cursor over 'reply' then click the scroll wheel to open it up in another tab or I can also right click then choose 'Open in a new tab' I'm using palemoon mostly sometimes firfox.
This is what I do too across all my platforms. Middle-mouse-click opens link in new tab (least in the browsers I work with, none of which include firefox). Maybe a silent update to firefox broke something Scoob? I just did a right-click menu open, and see options. I don't know of any html/js code that would disable whats inherent in the users OS and browser like that. Hook into it to trigger it, yes... but not disable whole menus and options... hmm.
Hey @Pantera, @Frigidman thanks for the replies. Everything seems to be working just fine now, right-click functionality working as expected on this forum. I'd have put it down to a browser issue if it hadn't only affected this forum. I'll see if it happens again and dig deeper. Scoob.
I think some script or something is failing on the page, my right-click functionality works for a bit, then stops. Closing any browser windows with the Forum on and re-opening fixes it for a while. Other browser instances, doing other things are totally unaffected. Scoob.
No, nothing. Mine was, until it wasn't. Very recent thing. going to check the variously other PC's on my network, though this is my usual one from browsing. Might try *shudder* Microsoft Edge too.... Scoob.
Oh dear... dont load up Edge. Try out Chrome. They at least follow the industry standard... because they seem to be writing the industry standards lol. This is a curious problem though...
Heh, simply couldn't bring myself to do it lol Might try Chrome, Avast has been trying to force it on me for a while now. Certainly and odd issue and not one I've seen before. Fairly vanilla W10 Pro build on this PC too, so nothing special about it. Edit: It just stopped working again after I posted this! Scoob.
Odd. I'm fairly sure it's a problem on your end.. Or possibly flash? (I have flash blocked) I've tried it on several of my machines now, and it seems flawless. (as for the chrome ! no. They are stupidly far from the industry standard on some areas.. mostly the newer stuff, but occasionally older aswell. Which is quite entertaining, given they have a huge impact on what gets to be the standard).. If you are interested in seeing some differences, you can look at filehandling (offline), and client-database approach, just to mention a few
