THIS IS HOW YOU FIX SO THE BANNER DOESN'T OPEN A NEW WINDOW!

Edit the style.

From:
<center><a href="<if condition="$ban['url']">$ban[url]<else />$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]</if>" target="_blank">$banner</a></center>

To:
<center><a href="<if condition="$ban['url']">$ban[url]<else />$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]</if>">$banner</a></center>
