GC site ads

Can these be configured to open in a new tab or window please, so we are not diverted away from GC when we click on them.

Many thanks

Have you not got a back button?

 

From google T&C

Can I open the ads in a new window?

Keeping in mind the importance of the user experience, we generally have not allowed 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 aligns better with expected internet behaviour and provides a more consistent, intuitive user experience.
After significant testing, we've enabled Google ads to open in new windows in locations where this is expected browsing behaviour. This functionality is determined by the IP of the user, and is not an option you can select in your AdSense account.
We also ask that you don't modify the AdSense ad code or alter the result of clicking on an ad on your website, as such behaviour violates our programme policies.

While currently Nathan is testing a new Ad network, until we however settle on a new network this can't be done, however if we move to a network which allows this then this could be considered at that point.

 

There's always the RH click in the meantime

 

Of course, all browsers do. I'm just used to clicking close after viewing an ad or a link a member has posted is all.

if you hold left ctrl as you click the link it opens in a new tab

Or Shift and click link is a new window

 

I'm fully conversant with tabs and windows and their uses, I just asked if ads can auto open in new tab or window as it suits the way I browse, if you cant do it, that's the end of it.

Many thanks!
