I'd like to do it but forum helpers only have permissions below Basic support subforum :/ So the only thing i can currently do is report the post and ask to move it, which effectively takes more time than to move the post *sigh*

As it stands now we have a choice, new tab or move on.wobo wrote:Ken-Bergen wrote:... when my intention was to move on.
That is the main point of this discussion. You may understand that the intention of the forum is slightly different from the intention of the single user in this case. The intention of the forum is to be the "home" for the user who came to the forum. He may visit each and every external link, even go walking his dog, but always have the forum visible in his browser.
In your case, Ken, it may even be a more secure way to go to a new tab with a simple left click.
........
Conclusion: Indeed a majority result (aka poll) is the only option in this case because both sides have equally valid reasons.

Näh that is pushing it a bit far - It might be contrary to the spirit of Ken but I am sure Linux will be fine with it.
It is just a way of making things easier and more intuitive without double somersaults and middle clicks.
I am with the majority (so far) on this one (feels good for a change ).
I see it is moved now - that is good.

In your model I log in and see a new post in sub forum Basic support.
I click on it and now have two tabs/windows open.
The only new post is in the sub forum Video so I click on that and now have three tabs/windows open.
There's only one thread there with new posts so I click on that and now have four tabs/windows open only two of which I have any more interest in.
BTW: This majority of yours sounds like five wolfs and two sheep voting on what/who to have for dinner.
