I command thee to hold down yon cloverlike command key!

Ahem. For Mac users, holding down the command key will simulate a right button.

I've been trying it, but nothing has worked. Do you just put your arrow over the reputation button and press command, or is there something else that you have to do? I'm really bad with computers.

Hold it down and click. It's the Apple equivalent of the right click, which is very annoying to me. Man up and get a second mouse button, Steve Jobs!

(sorry, a personal rant there)

What Mac are you using? The newer Mac mice support right-click, though you have to enable it in System Preferences (yes, there's only one button, but if you push more on the right side, it knows what to do). Also, you can Control-Click on the rep icon and choose to open in a new tab. This link may be of some use.

If you continue to have issues, PM me with the specifics and we can walk it through. And note that as I work on both Macs and PCs, I've learned to 'love' both.

Huzzah! Control-click works, Alatar!

This is proof positive on what a wonderful community the Downs has. Just for taking the time you all will get reputation points!

I'm off to give some long overdue rep. points!

Twas nothing. Thanks for the rep, but know that you needn't have. Next time post on some thread where I've driven the discussion into the dirt and I'll be thrice as happy.

And, having been frustrated with computers and all things therein once or twice

, I felt your pain.
