497542 - Make - Download site badges, banners, and buttons open in a new window?

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Websites Graveyard :: mozillaservice.org, defect)

Description

1. Promote Page:
http://mozillaservice.stage.mozilla.com/promote/mozservice09/en_US

when someone selects the banner link - "Download site badges, banners, and buttons"

Do you think it would be better to have it open in a new window / tab? I was just thinking that if someone who wasnt familar with SFX was sent there, they might have trouble navigating back to mozillaservice.org 


2. Same on the FAQ at:
http://mozillaservice.stage.mozilla.com/learn_more/faq/en_US#other-ways-to-help

"Add our buttons or banners to your site, blog, or profile."

I'd love to get Stephen and Krupa's input on this.

Personally, I hate it when sites open links in a new tab/window, but as long as we're consistent within the site, it's OK; I should note that we really don't do this on any other Mozilla site that I'm aware of.

Hey there

I am happy to be led by experienced advice. I was only concerned that a newbie might be a bit overwhelmed by being on SFX...  but we obviously have thought about this with our other sites. So fine as is, if you think so. :) Thanks!
