WARNING: TECHNICAL
The subforum listings from index page have an onclick javascript bind attached to the whole <div> or <tr> or whatnot, and it is totally unnecessary. Can this please be removed? It is useless and especially obnoxious on mobile phones when trying to tap to browse. If you don't have time to do it, I am fluent in PHP/CSS/JS and can do it for you. Thanks.
This was brought up earlier (ursus springs to mind for some reason), clearly hasn't been changed. Would be much appreciated if I didn't get taken into the section when clicking anywhere, or middle-mousing a new tab out of the latest thread/sub-section.

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.
Sorry, I forgot about that problem, so I haven't forwarded a proper fix to Cannon yet - if it bothers you, have a look at this post from two weeks ago - it's easy to fix this issue with a small Chrome plugin. 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):

Removing it is indeed probably the best solution, as I doubt anyone is using it anyhow. I was initially trying to see if there was a way to get it working as intended, but I gave up on that quite some time ago; as mentioned in the quote, Webkit browsers simply don't distinguish between middle/left-clicks by default, so I didn't really see how it would be possible.
Thankfully it was an easy fix last time, but I assume since it is the default setting, that is why the new sections - Bounty Offices, Official Player Factions, Marketplace that I know of, maybe others - that were created with the forum layout change have the same problem.
Nah, the change before was only made to the forumbit php template, but not to the category template as we never had any top-level categories until after the reorganization, so I never thought to change that too. Should be fixed now.
