Featured Ads - Info Display

In the new Featured Ads, I also put a suggestion in for the speed / scrolling but feel this is separate enough of a suggestion for a separate post.

Currently, it seems like the person generating the featured item can put a link of any kind, whether it's a SLURL, MP link or even totally external website. This poses some security concerns off the bat as, unless you're like me and look at the tiny hovertext on the bottom of my browser before clicking, it would be easy to be taken to malicious or inappropriate sites. The ads also have no identifying info unless it's in the pic, which some may be just a logo or pic of a pair of jeans with no context.

Suggestion for the above issues: It would be useful if when clicking the ad box, a popup box (or same format as clicking any pic from the gallery with the full page view / description info) was displayed with the poster / stores Primfeed profile link, and the directing website/link in text rather than hyperlink so it's clear where you're being directed. If the ad was generated from a Primfeed post, the link to that full posting would be great too. An optional description box for ad creators to add some context would help as well but not as a required field.
