I have been lurking on the MHF forums since before I bought my motorhome. Made a couple of posts, mainly to help others, but no serious participation.
I bought an iMac last year and this is my problem.......
I am using Safari, when I want to read a thread I select the item from the forum index by pressing cmd - left click.
I would expect this to open another tab containing the selected thread.
What actually happens is a new tab is generated but both tabs load the new thread.
The weird thing is that this only happens on MHF. In all other situations I have encountered the intial tab stays on the original page and the link opens on a new tab.
It gets worse! My laptop runs Windows Vista. If I use Safari for Windows I get exactly the same problem.
If the combined brains of Nuke and MHF members can solve my problem I may well become a fully fledged participant!
However, I too get the same (to me odd) result as Gram when using the CMD key.
Same thing occurs with either Safari or Firefox.
I suspect there is a setting somewhere that allows this to be changed, but I haven't found it yet. I'll have another look when carrying less alcohol in my bloodstream....
Regards,
John

That is certainly one answer - though it doesn't help the OP if they have a strong habit of using the CMD + click shortcut - which works perfectly well on the admittedly small (three) sample of other sites I have tried it on.
I suspect that this will go the same way as the text size change feature at the top of the page - both browser and website offering similar features in ever more complicated ways leading to conflicts and a net result that one method stops working.
Perhaps file it under "annoying but not life threatening"?

John

It’s because the Recent Motorhome Forum Topics block (on the forum index) has the Subject titles (the Subject column) linked as both a text link and the cell it sits in is click able.
Some browsers interpret this differently, so in Chrome if you are using the CTRL or Mac equivalent key (CMD) you will be opening the link twice.
You can also click on the topic icon using your method and it will work fine.
By topic icon I mean the icons as below:

Ben,
Thanks for that. It (sort of) answers the question in respect of why it happens (and how to avoid it) in the Recent Topics list.
What about within the main index? Any glimmer of hope for for that? Or advice on how I'm being a total numpty .
Again, thanks for the partial reply.

John

Hi John, could you elaborate?
Main index of the site i.e. the homepage (http://www.motorhomefacts.com/)?
