Ads with audio???
The following ad keeps popping up and plays a sound track.
I usually listen to SiriusXM on my iPad when I'm working the forum and this ad overrides Sirius and turns it off! This type of ad needs to go...

I did that multiple times this morning. The forum is also locking up if I have my VPN on.

I am a Bronze contributor, logged in, and getting VERY annoying ads with loud “music” (drums, clapping, etc).
This is a new problem, happening the past three days or so.

Loud annoying drums and pop up adds
Music if that’s what you call it just started all of a sudden. Logged out and signed back in and now pop up adds. I guess it’s asking too much for the folks doing this to get a real job and leave us old people alone!

Hi Lee – if Chad or anyone else sees the ad with audio (or any other problematic ad) it would be helpful if they can click the ad and copy and paste the landing page URL, that should make it easier for us to track it down. Thanks!
|
PLEASE do that-
click the ad and copy and paste the URL address of that ad in this thread.

Surfshark went wonky on me earlier in the day until I allowed it an automatic choice of VPN protocol. It flat out would not connect to the remote site.

Thankfully!
Should add, some ads are appearing between the replies to the original post.

If only the cancel (the "X") button actually cancelled the ad (instead of diverting to the ad's website)...
PS. On a positive note, however...
NO ads for erectile disfunction, Tax or Credit forgiveness programs (or student loans, either), all-body deodorants, or premature (?) hair loss... Yet?

Sorry, I thought this annoying noise would be fixed by now. I won’t be coming back until it is.

Because we like listening to people like you complain? Here's a thought - MUTE YOUR SPEAKERS! 
On a more serious note, Lee, the owner is trying to stop it. It is a problem with the ad vendor and while Lee could tell them they are fired, he would then have to shut down the forum because the ads pay most of the bills. So it amounts to cutting off your nose to spite your face. If you have a solution, I'm sure Lee would like to hear it.

Sounds like Mr Jarrett has the solution which was to contact the ad company. (Which is much appreciated). I do find it odd you like to hear people complain. I hate to hear people complain. To each his own I suppose. Anyway, thanks for addressing the issue

Maybe this is a good time to point out the benefits of being a contributing member?
I met Charlie Sides, a dedicated member of this forum who has sadly since passed away, and he greatly encouraged me to become a member. In fact, he gave me a good break on a deal to nudge me into using some of the saved funds to pay for a membership.
What a difference!
OK, so to be fair, I posted a comment above (#5) about the drums and clap track. But, this is a very rare instance!
Going (very nearly) ad free enhances my enjoyment of this great forum!
Thanks to Lee and Tom for taking the time to help sort this all out.
Jim
