Just wanted to add in my opinion that the daily highlights popup video on the home screen and in articles is incredibly annoying. It already shows exactly what scrolls through the front page, so I don't see a need for it anyway.

My $.02

Carry on.


For me it doesn't even show what's on the front page, it just cycles through Wayfair and Rocket Mortgage ads.

Just started getting this and not a fan at all. I hate autoplay videos and then when you scroll down it just gets more annoying as it's bigger and is very "look at me".

Another reason to use AdblockPro I suppose. Although I can't get it to stop the popup one.

It also obscures the right side of the text in posts so you can't really even just ignore it. It is not a value added thing. Every time I close it it just pops up again on the next page.

Count me as another who is not a fan.

This MASSIVE viedo on Duke basketball isn't fun..

I had an adblocker installed and this just started today. Chris, I'm ready to start paying for the site if this is needed to keep the site free

The pop up video in the corner is really annoying. You close it and then move on to the next age of a thread and there it is playing again. If I want to watch a video, I will watch in the articles I open.

It's started doing this for me as well. Used to be just on home screen and in articles. Now it's in the forums as well
