I know many of you people have not bothered to click on the adverts but i do - for reasons best known to me.
And i find out that when you click, you are immediately taken away from nairaland to the advert's link,
but other sites just pop open into blank window or pop-under windows? why is nairaland different?

^^ am tired with the way the ban people in this forum. What the should is to delete the person post taht all, did the think that those using this forum are Kids. One they have to know is that people will always go to forums that have the right features they need. So if a sharp web developer can make some thing lke this, with time.... NL.

It's the best approach.

There are many times have clicked on external links to open in new tab but forget to even check them out...

but if it opens in new window, am forced to view the page and if not ok with it, will go back to the previous page sharperly.

I think i shall have to agree with you on that one.
