I am half asleep right now, its almost 2a my time and I had a long day/night...

Am I the only one that is always using multiple windows of things and keeps clicking an what I think is blank whitespace in the WHT window, when in fact it is whitespace on one of the large ads at the top of the page, and I get stuck loading an ad I didn't mean to...?

I don't think I worded that properly... hopefully you can understand it.. perhaps I will edit it in mor- the err.. later today... Ir perhaps realize how stupid this post is, luagh at it and just leave it alone...

Yes, I accidentally clicked WizardHosting's ad twice yesterday because I hit the white space.

Me too!

I went to wizards hosting twice in the last 10 minutes... Since I had clicked on the ad accidentally twice, I took a look at their site again, but I have been there before, I already have a web host, so I don't need a new one.

I can't stop doing it!!!
I just loaded Wizard's hosting again like 3 times!

I also did that with the Ubersmith ad before...

A *very* good habit to get into is to use the white space under the breadcrumbs. eg:

WebHostingTalk Forums > Other Forums > WebHostingTalk Lounge > Annoying white space around ads that still link to the ad...

for this thread as an example. Just poke the small white area under that, and above the forum tables. It's not hard to hit, and you won't be wandering off to Wizard's or anyone else accidently

Hey thanks Greg! I will try to do that from now on.

I think a big part o my problem is lack of sleep... I am going to bed now, as I mentioned in my last thread...lol...
