BYC creating new tabs when I press on a button (link)?

[Laura_BelgianBantams_63]

Hi! This is happening quite frequently, and just happened a few minutes ago. I pressed page two hundred and something to go to the next page on a thread, and it opened in a different tab - strange! Also, it happens a lot when I want to see my notifications, it creates another tab. Keep in mind I'm using a laptop here. Anyone else had this happen to them?

Any chance your Ctrl button is stuck? It's not doing that to me but if you hold Ctrl when you click a link it auto pops up as a new tab.

What browser are you using?

My Ctrl button is not stuck, no. I am using Google Chrome.

Hi, sorry you're having this issue.

• Are you on a computer, tablet, phone.
• If phone / mobile, which model? If computer, which operating system and version?
• Which browser and version are you using (eg., Chrome 58.0.3029, Firefox 3.5.9, Internet Explorer 8, etc.)
• Have you deleted your internet cache / browser history of files and tried again?
• Have you tested a different browser (this helps us isolate if the problem is browser related or not)?
• What EXACTLY did you do (links to examples)? Document the steps you took before having the problem.

Thanks, and we look forward to getting your problem fixed!

A lot of outside links (on any other site, too) automatically open in a new tab for me.

• Computer (laptop)
• I am using Google chrome (I'm not sure which one, it is modern but not the very latest one I think)
• I haven't deleted anything since I am unable to.
• I'll try testing that
• Well, I was on Kiki's xmas tree thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/oh-christmas-🎄-oh-christmas-🌲-let-me-see-thee🎄.1434585/ and then went to page 296, which opened in a new tab.
• Thanks for the support!

And, update:
I tried using BYC in internet explorer and it was fine.

I'm on chrome as well on a PC and opened the same thread and went to the same page and it did not give me an extra tab.
