The links to the advertisers' websites from the adverts on the right of the screen seem to be broken – they just lead back to the current page. I have tried this both on Firefox and Chrome with the same result.

Have to say I have just tried quite a few and find no problems. Firefox and Safari. :-/

It's been like this for ages, at least in Firefox.

If you right click and choose 'open in new tab' they just open the original page in a new tab. Left click on them and they open a new window with the advertiser's site.

Odd behaviour, personally I would prefer they opened a new tab.

I can mention it to the web folk.

I've raised a bug report, obviously holidays will limit how quickly this is looked into.

For now, just be aware that clicking on an ad will get you into a new window with the advertiser's website in it.

I suggest all forum members visit as many advertisers' websites as possible, just to be sure

I noticed this a while ago and just assumed it was my wonky computer. However, using my iPad, tapping the adverts opens a new tab with a "page not found" message and a helpful link to the homepage which in turn brings me back to where I started. Luckily, all the ads which interest me are in my bookmarks anyway.

Strange behaviour – right click and selecting "open in new tab" or "open new window" takes you back to the current page but left click opens a new window with the correct site.
