Chrome: Middle click is also treated as left click on index - Xenosaga - 12-22-2012
From the forum index, I cannot properly open a subforum via middle click. It appears in a new tab, that's normal, but it also takes me to the subforum as if I leftclicked it directly, opening up a tab of the subforum and opening it in the tab from where I started. Problem is Chrome specific, IE does not have the problem. It's also curious that only the mainsite (http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php) has this problem.

WebKit browsers (Chrome, Safari, default iOS/Android browsers) don't distinguish between left and middle clicks, so a middle click on any of the links inside the container/box for each subforum triggers the JavaScript action for left clicks on the container (opens the subforum in the current tab) in addition to opening the link you've clicked in a new tab.
EDIT (temp. fix):
