..I wrote these little webmasterworld hacks..saving a few clicks using proxomitron [proxomitron.cjb.net] filters.
Anyone who knows how rsi problems can feel knows it's nice to save some clicks from time to time, so I thought I'd post them.

The filters are made for my personal habits here, but they might serve as examples to make other hacks as well.
Note the hacks below may stop working when the html on this site changes.

----------------------------
I tend to click the image opening a new window next to every thread on the recent posts page a lot..here the proxomitron regex to make that one open on Mouseover:

(check 'allow for multiple matches')

url match:
*.webmasterworld.com*

Bounds match:
<a\s*><img src="http://showcase.netins.net/web/phdss/WebmasterWorldgfx/nw.gif" alt="open in new window" title="open in new window" align="bottom" border="0"></a>

Matching Expression:
* href="\1" *

Replacement text:
<a href ="#" onMouseOver="window.open('\1');"><img src="http://showcase.netins.net/web/phdss/WebmasterWorldgfx/nw.gif" alt="open in new window" title="open in new window" align="bottom" border="0"></a>

-----------------------------------------

One for the ">>" link going to the last page in a thread:

url match:
*.webmasterworld.com*

Bounds Match:
<a\s*>*\&gt; \&gt;*</a>

Matching Expression
* href="\1" *

Replacement text:
<a href ="#" onMouseOver="window.open('\1');"> &gt; &gt; </a>

--------------------

One for the "recent posts" and "recently active posts" link

Url Match:
*.webmasterworld.com*

Bounds Match:
<a\s*>

Matching Expression:
<a href="(/active.htm¦/active.cgi)">

Replacement Text:
<a href="/active.htm" onMouseOver="window.open('/active.htm');">

My regex may not be the most efficient..but it works.

Brett, maybe you could consider clickless navigation (on selected links only so one can still move about the page with the mouse without opening many screens) as a customizable personal option ?
