Banner ADs and Gmail ??

[PokerPlayer]

How come when I click on banner ad, it prompts me to set me Gmail account?

That's your OS trying to direct you to write an email, some of the banners link to email and you don't have one set up with windows.

it's an html <a href="mailto:"> tag that is set to the banner image. If you have your email client logged in as a native app on your computer, it'll open up the app. Goes against best practices for web development but because mailto tags are styled the same as anchor links, they kind of still get a pass.
