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.

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.

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.

He's just kidding Larry. He gives everyone a hard time. Lighten up Francis!

And thank you for using the ads on SCH. It helps support the site.
