Can "Ads by Google" (when clicked on), be opened automatically in a new window? At the moment they overwrite Simsig.

Can you explain, perhaps with a screenshot? I can't click on the links as it's against the Adsense policies.

I think what he means is the when you click on the ad it opens up the page over the top of the SimSig page, rather than as a new tab/window in parallel to the SimSig page.

I've just had a try at it and yes it doesn't open in a new window, or tab but overwrites the SimSig page.

Yes I'm usually on auto-pilot and right click - open in new tab so not really aware.

You should try middle click

Ctrl+click also works for those of us on laptops with no middle mouse button!

So nothing is actually wrong: ads open in the same window but you'd prefer a separate tab? I'm not sure I can change it anyway as the code is served from Google, not here.
