 * I have been unable to find a way of contacting the author so am posting my patch
   to add the ability to open sponsor links in a new window here.
 * Hoping the author sees these posts 🙂

 * Elija or Sergey – would either of you happen to know whey the Sponsors Carousel
   is only displaying vertically? It doesn’t look like the screenshot at all. And
   it doesn’t scroll.
 * I’m using wp 3.3.1.
 * Thanks. Any help would be appreciated.
