OK, yeah, definitely what I remember. I believe LiveJournal had a similar issue, that actually broke the method for opening links in new tabs.
Definitely get on the horn with them about it, Bob. The board is paid for, so there should be 0 ads of any form.
On the other hand, if I ever open a board anywhere, it's certainly not going to be via Yuku, given that they're showing a pattern of trying this every year.
(And I can understand why they do it. The odds of a link getting clicked are likely way higher, and they think it looks like they're being good by providing the links to the readers, and it gets around more than 90% of the adblockers out there. But this also shows, in a site that does free boards, how much we users are just considered product to sell to advertisers anymore.)
