Glitch in the Matrix, ghost in the machine, just a spacey user name, or a secret cloaking device.....

I think it's possible, as we can set our status to invisible..

Thanks for being open to critique Mike.

Something I dislike is the search box, or better said, how I work with it:

1) I type in a search term;
2) I see multiple interesting threads I want to read, so I click on one with the mouse scroll wheel to open it in a new browser tab;
3) The search box closes after pressing the scroll wheel;
4) If I now click the search button, or click in the text field, the search query is gone, so to open the second, third, and so on, search results, I need to retype the search query.

Could the search box be kept open?

To do what you're describing, try the following:
1 - type in your search term as usual
2 - When the results have appeared, hold down Ctrl
3 - Left click on all the results you are interested in (while keeping the Ctrl key pressed)
4 - Each result will open in it's own tab

This works in IE and Chrome. I presume some variation is possible in most browsers.
