if the website bothers you there is no reason you cant shop elsewhere i dont mind the 'old' fashion style simple design thats why i order there. what bothers me is useless flashy over priced pet supply websites that spend 90% of the budget of flashy graphics and 10% on actual customer service and slowwwwww shipping.
Ok so this whole thing about the way that web site works has been bothering me since some people claim it doesn't effect them. As I had said earlier its only on certain links on the site. So after a little experimentation I figured out how to set my own browser to where it will open all the links without opening a new window.
SO to resolve this issue when using Internet Explorer do the following.
1. Click on the tools tab on your browser and select internet options
2. Inside the internet options tab there will be a section for Tabs and a button for settings click that
3. Inside the tabbed browser settings window there is an option called "When a pop up is encountered". Select the top selection for this catergory which reads "Let internet explorer decide how pop ups should open". This will actually still make extra tabs for those links when you click on them it will just do so in the correct manner so its more seemless.
I should note this is NOT the default setting for internet explorer. Default is to always open pop ups in a new window. I do have the most current version of the browser. I'm assuming the other people in this thread either are using an alternate browser like Firefox or have at some point changed their browsers settings in order to make it work this way. Now if this website was coded like most sites you woudln't need to alter your settings to make it work correctly seeing how its the only site I visit that has this issue. The truth is most people are never going to alter their browsers settings beyond default and therefore could be driven away from a great website by clunky design.
I guess its too much to hope people on the internet could be more helpful to fellow hobbyists instead of ridiculing them for a trivial issue that most likely effects a large amount of people.

I felt his site made him disreputable too but all this good feedback from members of the forum made me try to order from him. He still has yet to respond to e-mails and calls about items missing and I'm now filing a claim with paypal and filing a report with the better business bureau. I will not be purchasing from him again as his site and my first experience from buying with him made me believe he and his company was very very VERY shady, unprofessional, unorganized and does not have any form of customer service.
I'd rather spend more on a site that I know has customer service and actually can not scam me out of items I paid for. But hey that's just me. You get what you pay for. Cheap prices = UBER CHEAP SERVICE FROM A CHEAP COMPANY. :thumbsdown:
does anyone care about products and reasonable shipping and fast shipments? these are met, at least always with me, and i could care less about whining about the website,.. thats what matters,..........
if it bothers you shop elsewhere,..

I think it bothers some people because it's so unnecessary, and they could end up with a lot of open tabs.
Interesting enough, some of the links on the menu uses "document.location", which targets itself, and other links will use "window.open", which opens the link in a new window. Links within a page uses "_blank" which also launches a new tab/window. This should explain why some people get new tabs/windows while others stay on the same page.
For example, if you click on "Power Filters", it should stay on the same tab, but "Powerheads" should open a new one. On "Power Filters", if you click any of the links (Penn Plax, Hagen, etc), they will open a new window.

That's my only annoyance, that it's inconsistent. I'd be able to handle it better if they all did the same thing. I've yet to order from him, though I keep meaning to. His prices are great, and, for the most part, people seem happy with the service.
