1) get the "adblock" extension for your browser.
2) once installed, add this custom filter:
http://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/themes/Arc/js/*
3) then, use this link for your bookmark to this board(STO general discussion):
http://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/categories/star-trek-online-general-discussion
And here is the bookmark url for the forum home:
http://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/
After you have done all of this, your ARC overlay will be gone and you can right click/open new tabs as normal
Comments
Example: There's a thread I've read previously, 5 new posts appear since then. WITHOUT the Arc header, clicking on that thread's name would take me directly to the first unread post. WITH the Arc header, I'm sent to the top of the page with the first unread post.
That's just annoying.
Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
WHAT THE FRELL Trendy's Web Devs!?!?
Add this to adblock custom filters and access the forums via the extension or forum.arcgames link, it will filter the redirect. Thanks to @gulberat for pointing it out and let's hope @asterelle updates the forum extension soon

Thank you. I was going to ask if someone had some script to get back to the sanitized version. Awesome!
@pwlaughingtrendy - The comment above about heading back to the home directory over and over are true. Whatever you guys did to redirect us to the version with the arc links on top screwed up something else.
For ex. - I'm on the main page of the STO forum and I want to open 'General Discussion' in a new tab, the result I'm getting is the forum opening another tab of the main page of the STO forum, not 'General Discussion'. Only if I try to access a certain section of the forum by directly clicking on that area within an existing tab does it open. This started happening as of today, or at least I've noticed it as of now - any ideas?
Most unexpectedly, this turned into a flame-fest! Closed it goes!. /sigh What flamefestery is this? pwlaughingtrendy

@lucho80 no problem. Maybe you want to add that infro to your OP so people who only read the OP get it as well

@pwlaughingtrendy I have the same problem. I see 2 or 3 interesting links click on them in new tabs and get redirected to the main forum page instead of the thread. On top of all the other problems and poor layout design at Ultra HD it makes the forums very frustrating to use.
Question, how do you block a website using ABP?

Says the same person who was complaining about a video game:

And here is where things start to go south in this thread.
Like you said, not JUST complaining. Meaning you WERE complaining. About your cute little first world problem. Not that there is anything wrong with that...except for the fact that you choose to reply to this thread and call it a first world problem. So if you are going to act like that, expect to have your own first world complaints thrown back at you.

Yeah, you asked a question. You also said you were getting "shafted" because you weren't getting good enough loot. In a video game. Now that is the ultimate first world problem

I get it, "complaining about complaining yadda yadda whatever" is a commonly-used deflection tactic, but anyone with sense will see right through it, as it doesn't make my point any less valid.
Unfortunately you missed my edit, so I'll give you a moment to go back and read it. Then you can get back to telling us how "shafted" you are by not getting the loot you want in a video game

Says the person that came in and replied in a forum thread of an MMO game for no other reason than to ridicule others.
#LegalizeAwoo
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Fortunately I don't have to "try" at all, because you made it so hilariously easy. The OP of this thread said the new forum changes were "sad". In your thread, you whined about getting SHAFTED... because you weren't getting the loot you wanted... in a video game. You can't have it both ways. If you think the OP's complaint is a first world problem, then your "shafting" is too. But go ahead and make another post denying it, I don't mind
