Strange behavior of the forum web site

Been seeing tabs to threads I have not selected open on their own accord when browsing the video section of the Vegas forum. Anyone else experiencing this?

Not at the moment. But i do know what you are talking about. Exact thing happened to me couple months ago and about a year before that also..... I have no clue, i guess its just some random glitch that pops up at times.

Seems to happen when I'm scrolling the list of threads using the mouse wheel. Random threads the pointer passes over open automatically on new background tabs. I can prevent it by pointing the mouse to the far left or right side of the page while rolling the mouse wheel. Other forums I visit never do this.

Does your mouse wheel have a switch under it that activates the current selection?

Using a ROG Strix Inpact III at the moment with a laptop. Also does it with an MX Master 3S, but less frequently. They both have on/off switches and pairing buttons on the bottom. The MX has a button below the mouse wheel but the ROG does not. Both can select a link by depressing the wheel instead of rolling it. Noticed that when a link is selected by clicking the wheel, the link is opened on a background tab with no change in focus, just like what is happening without clicking.
