CTRL click to open in new tab no longer works

395 July 1, 2025 at 10:27 AM
Hello,

The latest redesign broke the ability to open links in a new tab from the main page. I can still right-click and select open in new tab but CTRL clicking was much faster. It still works in the forums just not on the main page.

Thank you

Several of us just tried this and it seems to be working properly for us. What browser are you using? Do you have another browser or device that you can try this on?
If it still doesn't work, can you share a screenshot of exactly where you are trying to ctrl+click? If it's easier, please feel free to email it to [email protected]
Also, do you have any ad-blockers or other extensions that could be interfering?

I'm on Chrome. Thanks for checking, maybe it's some plug in as it seemed to work fine until yesterday.

I also have the same issue using the "simple" view setting on frontpage. CMD + click on a mac, using chrome, used to open an unexpanded deal in a new tab. now it just expands the deal

I was able to recreate this issue with simple view. Thank you. Do you know approximately how long this has been happening for you?

Do you know which view of the frontpage you use? Large grid, grid, list, simple? If you're not sure, please share a screenshot and we will be able to tell.
