September 15, 20177 yr Yeah that's the one about Yemen I was mentioning. Thing is no-one's going to hear that catchline as we've all muted it by the end of the first line.
September 15, 20177 yr Author yes it's back again. It's impossible to read comments on threads on my old apple laptop using chrome. This isn't going to encourage new people, existing users or sell the products - whatever they are selling, I just mute it and go elsewhere after a couple of frustrating minutes.
September 15, 20177 yr Yeah I have them too - they also autoplay with sound which is very irritating. I'm getting this as well, and I quickly try to refresh the page to get some other ad to prevent it, that Go Compare ad really gets on my tits.
September 15, 20177 yr I have also had this, the unstoppable machine one. For now, if there is an 'x' at the top of the offending ad, close it and report it. Ads should not interfere with your browsing experience and if enough people do that it should hopefully go away.
September 15, 20177 yr This is ruining Buzzjack at the moment for me, I'm going to get adblock until it stops.
September 15, 20177 yr I keep getting one for Ashford Designer Outlet now - the unstoppable machine ones seemed to have gone away but these just won't :angry:
September 16, 20177 yr I keep getting one for Ashford Designer Outlet now - the unstoppable machine ones seemed to have gone away but these just won't :angry: Likewise! Even when I press mute it still blares out at full volume (also there's the fact Ashford is 200 miles from where I live so I've no idea how they expect me to get there)
September 16, 20177 yr hi all, this is very strange, can you let me know where you are seeing the ad? Which part of the site? I say this as for a long time (years now) the settings on all ads are test/image (no video) so firstly surprised at this. Let me know the ad details so I can block it firstly. Thanks :)
September 16, 20177 yr What I've seen - correct me if anyone's seen it in any other ad spaces - is that all of the ones that are playing video are located in the ad space on the top right of the first post on a thread page. It plays sound (even when you set it to pause or mute), and drags you to the top of the page so you can see the ad (it's especially annoying if you're using Quick Reply in the same thread).

Same for me, its always on the top right hand corner of the opening post, once it starts playing, it just drags me up to the top of the page, very annoying as hell. Its in the chart forum, not sure if the same thing happens on the other forums of the site.
September 16, 20177 yr I haven't had them recently but previously they were always in the same place as Iz and Martin for me.
September 18, 20177 yr thanks and what is the ad promoting? There should be a cross to disable the ad as well but let me know the ad promotion so i can try and block it
September 18, 20177 yr There's one promoting GoCompare, one getting people to appeal against dropping bombs on Yemen (being referred to as the 'unstoppable machine' one in this thread) and one promoting Ashford Designer Outlet. (although they seem to have stopped now for me thankfully)
November 11, 20177 yr Advert for Microsoft Office keeps dragging me back to the top of threads. There is no Google option to stop seeing it so please can you tell them to remove it?
