This is quite annoying, so I'm reporting it as a bug:

1. Open the Buddy.
2. Hover over a thread in the list but don't do it directly on text.
3. Click using the mouse wheel.

Expectation: The thread is opened in a new tab.

Reality: The Buddy is closed. The thread is not opened in any tab.

The problem is that it's so easy to miss the text part and accidentally close the Buddy by clicking with the mouse wheel. Technically, the best solution would be to make the <a> element fill the whole parent element, since it's guaranteed to work in all situations since it's a real link instead of a hack.

Hmm. I don't seem to be able to replicate the issue in Chrome, but in Firefox, it happens consistently. Gotta love the differences between browsers, eh?

This happens way too often... Hot topics keep on loading but nothing appears. Notifications keep on loading and the wheel keeps on spinning but nothing appears. 

I am using my laptop with an adblocker though, the same problem doesn't seem to happen when I am using my phone. 

Not to be mean, but honestly, a few changes can make a big difference. 

Font size:

Why are there so many font sizes utilized in the front page? The least you could do is to unify the font size of the red boxes and unify the font size in the blue boxes. 

Pictures:

I think there are way too many of them on the front page. The middle column in particular is a mess.

1. The headlines: sometime they overlay the pictures like in and sometimes the headlines are placed beneath the pictures. Why ?
2. What's the difference between latest stories and the articles on top of it in the same column? Why don't they have a clear label? It should not be up to the reader to figure out the difference
3. Why can't the latest stories section start the same level of "latest charts" on the left? pictures from both sections should aligned and should take up the same vertical space as well
4. Latest stories section should probably have one story per row instead of two, this will allow you to reduce its width and give the columns on the right some breathing space

The forums column

I think the forums column should be distinct and somewhat visually separated from the rest, you can do this by extending the gray color at the top to column on the right, an L shaped housing to separate the news and stories columns from the forums. Not sure if this is a good idea, but yeah, I am trying to think of ways to declutter and make the reader feel less lost. 

Forget the L shaped wedge, you can simply have the forums and the columns in general separated with black borders, this and fixing the font uniformity would go along way into making the home page neater. Right now, it's a floaty mess. 

Neat, thanks! I also noticed the same issue when writing comments for news/articles (i.e. the input box has a white background even in dark mode). I imagine you'll want to make that darker as well.

I'm seeing some issues with page numbers, I'm using Chrome if it helps.

i gotta say the frontpage on 4k looks great if it loads fast im good but then again im not really a moaner

Just gave it a quick test and it loaded instantly every time. Good work!

Everything seems to be loading nice and fast now and the tweaks since the original update are welcome, but any word on the hardware numbers on the front page not updating?
