Just a thought RE: clicking on Ads

Could you maybe change it so that clicking upon the banner Ads on your site DOESN'T re-direct the currently open browser window? but INSTEAD launches and invokes a NEW Browser window? It's kind of annoying to lose your current place on the site.

The Google ads no we have to use their code as given. The new basspro not sure I'll look at it. The forum sponsor already do open in new window.

Been preocupied wth all the changes we are doing. :)

Well duh, of course *I* do that. (EDIT: Though forget some times.)

But less proficient users get lost/flustered. I'm just offering my observations from the standpoint of being a guy whose made a ton of interfaces for users over 28 years. That's all.

Oh really?... hmmph... interesting how I can click on those same Google types of Banner ads from within Hotmail/outlook.com, and it instead invokes a new tab.

Opening the ads in a new window - Google AdSense Help

Generally, it is our policy to not allow Google ads to open in a new window. However, in a few markets, including China, we've found that opening ads in a new window better aligns with expected intern

More important question here, why would you feel the need be a... er uh, I mean... to attack somebody who is just trying to give constructive help geared towards making the site be better? (You know, like when I brought to their attention the severely jacked-up way the memo fields were handling shift-highlighting? Which I see they've since fixed.)

I can tell you, from almost 3 decades experience, you would not BELIEVE the kinda flack you'll catch from your userbase... even from as little as adding 1...just 1.. extra keystroke to an entry screen, for example.

But hey... whatevs...it's your guys world... all I can do is lead the horse to the water, can't make him drink it.
