what if some like audio ads with their jazzfanz experience.
is there any way you could turn them on for some posters?
might be kinda inconsiderate to only cater to one side. mob rules tho, rite?

Have these stopped?
I think so. I haven't gotten one since that last post, anyway.

Any way to stop video ads? I can't post on this site with a video ad on. And once a page gets a video ad it will be there every time I go to that page. I've given up on some interesting conversations because I can't post unless I want to wait 5 seconds between every keystroke.

The video ad thing is a pervasive problem. It keeps cropping up no matter what. I know we need to report the ad, but it seems to me that getting rid of any and all advertisers that use video ads at all is the solution. Stick to banner ads, which many (several?) of us I am sure click with some regularity to help fund the website. I like to browse JF during business meetings and conference calls and had to install ad blocker plus so I didn't have to worry about an ad speaking up during a web conference from another tab.
The video ads are a serious problem. As of a few days ago a lot of the video ads are expanding... they "pop up" and occupy the lower right hand corner of the screen. And often won't let you close them for 5-10 seconds. Since pop up ads are essentially the reason jazzfanz was started in the first place, they make me especially mad.
It also bugs me a lot that the videos automatically start with their audio on, since I often have several jazzfanz pages open at once. Then I get a mess of people talking all at the same time.
The video ads also seem to make the site run substantially slower to me, but I could be mistaken about that.

I have some porn ads popping up on mine now. Jason???
That's because you visited the porn site first...
What are the audio ads you're seeing? I'll ask if there's a way to unilaterally block them.
Jason,
I just got a video ad with audio, directs to this website: https://www.greenies.com/dogs/dog-dental-chews.aspx?sc_cid=Greenies_OLV_SpecificMedia_Q12015. No way to stop the video or even mute the audio. Annoying.
On the plus side, I haven't gotten any of the expanding video ones recently. I'm not sure if that's because you did something about them or not... but if so, thanks.

Just got redirected from this site to a site that took over my computer and without using task manager won't let me do anything else on the internet (including shut it down). Happened 2 times in a row. The ******** ads on this site with audio and video causing slowness and pop ups while looking at it on my phone and now it taking over my computer is the last ****ing straw. If your advertisers control your site then **** this site. It's been months of complaints and still it does it. I will not come back to this site unless I decide to use an ad-blocker. No other message board I'm currently on or have ever been on is as big of a joke with regard to the advertising.
I just got blasted, in the middle of a geology class, by a Pedigree dog food ad at the bottom of the main page. It leads to their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PedigreeTreats
Seriously, my professor was in the middle of a power point that I wasn't paying attention to when it went off, at full volume. Had no idea how to turn it down. I haven't been that embarrassed in a long time.

The volume button usually works well for that *******.
I just got the exact same ad.
Fortunately I was alone in my office, not in a class.
Yeah, why would you not have your computer muted during class in the first place?
