Hi Michel,

The links on the main page don't open a new browser (at least the two I tried didn't), which is a problem.

All over the UT, whenever you click on a link, you get a new browser.

Here's the scenario:

I go to www.levelextreme.com.

I get the log-in page and as I'm about to enter my username/password, I see a link to an article that sounds interesting. I click on the link and I'm not on the UT anymore. Now I have to either press the back button of my browser or open ANOTHER browser manually and go to the UT again and log in.

If I went to the ut page in the first place, it's obvious that my intention is to log-in. I want the UT to stay on my main browser. If I get momentarily distracted by one of the links on the main page, let that open a new browser, but leave my ut session intact. That way I can switch back to the UT window and continue with my log-in while the article loads on the other browser.

I say the same about the ads (banners). The ones on the main page are exactly the same as the ones you see when you're in the messaging sections, however, they behave differently: if you click on a banner on the main page, you are sent to the vendor's page in the same browser. If you click on the same banner in the messaging sections, you get a new browser. Splain Lucy, esplain! ;-)

Thanks for taking the time to look into these little details.

Alex
