Feedback: Ads with sound

[twistedredbird]

Chris, if possible, I would suggest moving ads with sound up to where they are easily clicked to mute or pause.

I muted my comp.

Which is what everyone should be doing rather than whining in this thread.

SOUND ON ADS IS HORRIBLE, CHRIS, THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO SCREW UP YOUR SITE.

And what if we're listening to something else on the computer?

Obviously you shouldn't be doing anything else on your computer while on CF.

This is the correct answer. Your full attention should be on this site, no distractions. All In.

Ads are how the site makes money, using an add blocker is not helping or supporting the site. The reason they have adds is because hosting a site and the bandwidth and other overhead cost money and a little unintrusive advertising helps absorb that cost. However, I agree with what has been said and these adds are almost unbearable. Until it gets fixed I have turned on my ad-blocker and I'm still getting sound.

The culprit is the media player on the bottom that shows highlights, currently there's often a 15 second or so commercial with audio before the video starts.

I'm 100% for supporting the site, once the sound ads are gone I'm happy to turn my add blocker off.

Every Single Page. If I wasn't watching highlight reels I'd turn the sound off. Really annoying.

 

[CycloneErik]

My computer is muted now. The ads are really obnoxious.

Chrome/Firefox + Adblock = No problems.

I have Chrome with Adblock-----constant ads.

I get that the site needs to make money, but I shouldn't have to mute my computer just to view this site.

Here's what my page looks like.

This is REALLY getting annoying. I didn't have much problem until a few days ago and its gotten increasingly bad. I'm going searching for an Ad blocker ... sorry Chris.

 

[Rickybaby]

Anybody got a recommendation for an Ad blocker. I'm using chrome but also have FF.

That one seriously has to be the worst of them - the annoying piano notes followed by the annoying succubus' voice...
