:stoned Silly advice to GFY admins

I just noticed myself doing this yet again so i thought i would mention it..

I saw a banner on the top of gfy while i was replying to a message, i was interested and wanted to click it , but i right clicked on it , and it was a flash file so i couldnt "open in new window". Because some of the advertsisers make flash banners to target="_top" not target="_blank" in flash i didnt want to click it because it might make me leave the message i was replying to..

I have found myself doing this quite a few times .Each time i think ( ill remember to open that up next time i see it , and i never do ..)

So a few advertisers have lost a potential client ( me) simply because there isnt a standard rule on banner advertising.. their banner might have even targetted "_blank" but theres no way to tell beforehand..

So my suggestion is to ask your advertisers to target all banners to a blank window when its in flash so its not confusing.. and to let us know so i wont have to worry about it anymore heh ..

/end piddly rant
