All Advertising Questions

I am now getting periodic audio leaks from all (3) browsers, IE, Mozilla and Chrome. They are unpredictable when they happen and sometimes, there is NO way to pause or stop audio as there are no icons on the advertisement outside of closing the browser altogether. This is very painful when at work and you are talking to someone.

The forum is almost unusable for me on mobile, as ads automatically open the AppStore to try to make me download Game of War.

We'll work to eliminate this issue. All video ads are supposed to be user-initiated sound only.

That isn't good enough... when you get several videos playing even audio free it really slows your computer down. IF you allow any video ads it needs to be only ONE at a time.

It all depends on your computer and if you update your flash and java. I don't experience slowness.

Haha more on consoles though, but it's annoying that there are ads, that automatically close my browser and open the AppStore. Can't use RealGm on my phone at all right now.

I created a work around... I downloaded a script blocker for firefox. Computer is running like a charm now... it just unfortunate for the forum that I won't be seeing any more of their ads.

Holy Crap. Video hasn't had sound for about two weeks then first thing this morning, your video ad's are playing sound on IE, Chrome and Mozilla. First it was Nissan and then Office depot or something. Then, if you move your mouse over it, there is no freaking way to disable audio or pause the video until it is done. I am at work and can't deal with this. Please fix this again.

Sorry for these issues. Looks like a bad ad got through. We'll make sure to eliminate the audio ads again.

Sounds good.

FYI. The "Quicktips" advertisement is playing sound. I noticed that Quicktips played sound during its commercial then another commercial played with no sound then Quicktips came on again playing sound right afterwards.

I've let the ad network know so they can remove it.

There is a commercial this morning stating,"Smell like the lifestyle you deserve" playing every 30 seconds with Sound. Now, I can't listen to Pandora while I work and have RealGM on at the same time.

Has the ad disappeared? I found an audio ad last week that I was able to have our ad network disable.
