Guitar chord forum - chordie → About Chordie → Ad for onefourfive.com keeps me from coming back to chordie.com
I understand that you need ads to support the site, but when I clicked on the onefourfive.com ad it would not let me get back to chordie.com. That is very rude! You might try having the ads open in a new window.
zzap62, if you find that to be a problem and clicking your back arrow doesn't let you come back to Chordie, my suggestion for the mean time is to right click on the ad and have it open in a new window or new tab. I do that all the time no matter what site I'm on. Just a proactive approach from your end so you don't get frustrated (on this site or others). That is a good suggestion though, I am sure it will take a lot of work to fix all the ads so that they open in new windows... so I suppose when the admin gets extra time he will consider adding this to the long list of things to adjust on the site 
I appreciate your response and you are absolutely right. That is what I normally do, but I accidentally clicked on the ad. It is not a big deal to open it in a new window, it is simply a matter of including the tag TARGET = "_blank". I went back and noticed that several of the advertisers do in fact do that in their ads. I have only found the one ad that seems to be so annoying. If it weren't for the fact that I enjoy chordie so much, I would simply quit using it. I may just quit visiting ads instead, which would be unfortunate for chordie.
You have made several good points, Riddler. You are very correct in the fact that we are not forced to look at ads, and I do appreciate that very much. Although I come to chordie mostly for my banjo and I haven't seen any ads for banjo products. I guess my biggest complaint isn't about chordie at all, it is about onefourfive.com because their practice is rude and inconsiderate. I get bugged anytime I go to an ad that 'holds me prisoner' as it were. I just find it rude, inconsiderate and unethical.

I agree with you. From my experience, ads that rotates automatically are usually not hard coded by the admin, so it probably is the advertiser to blame. However, since you only found the one, maybe Per can fix it. I'm sure it's much appreciated by the admin (Per) that you are visiting the links and supporting the site! Not everyone knows how that works, and considering I'm a moderator here and I do know how that works I will just say, "thank you for visiting Chordie's Sponsors"! I'm really sorry that your effort has caused such an annoyance, but I'm thrilled to know that you enjoy Chordie as I and so many other's do! Even if you have to stop visiting the ads, please do continue to visit this great site! OH... and feel free to jump in on some of the other discussions going on around the forum! Not only is Chordie great, but so are the people here!
A late, "Welcome to the Forum" to you Zzap!
