Video Adverts - Please report to me

[Dan]

Hi All,

If you have a video advert with sound that auto plays on the site, can you please note the name of the advertiser or what it is advertising and the URL of the advertiser if you have it?

I need to get rid of these from the site because they are horribly horribly annoying for everyone and the only way for me to get rid of them is to report them to the advertising network to have them removed or blocked.

Cheers
Dan

Just killed off Foxtel and turned on the Adobe Block all networks using peer.. option

Im on chrom - Win Xp.

The above option has disabled the sound at least.

Just had adverts for Kmart, Madrid, Scary Movie 5 and McDonalds

Ok looks like new movies leaked into the network that all auto play. I have reported this and hopefully something can be done soon.

There is nothing that I am able to do from my end to stop this at this stage and no change that I made that caused it

hmm interesting looks like the entire network has been added. I still havent had any adverts with sound.

What browser are you all using?

 

[globaleagle]

Chrome - no autoplay adverts for me on here as yet.

 

[Dan]

Yes I am also on Chrome I wonder if Chrome does the wonderful job of keeping them at bay?

I was on chrome this morning too and it played

 

[Dan]

Hmm interesting. I am yet to encounter one. I will see what response I get from the network

 

[Dan]

Anyone who gets this can you please right click on it and click "inspect Element"

A window should popup at the bottom of the screen with some code, grab all the stuff with URL's and send it to me via PM or email please.

I am using Firefox but didn't get any adverts this time......

 

[Dan]

Cool As soon as I get the code above the admin are going to sort it out. We need to see where it is coming from though

 

[Normie]

Spoke too soon - Advil and more for Madrid!

I right clicked on the ad but "inspect element" didn't come up.....

 

[master blaster]

yea chrome here too and have those annoying adds to

Advil adds,its annoying,lol

 

[Dan]

Ok chrome should have inspect element I really need that information

 

[Dan]

Another option instead of "Inspect element"

just go to right Click >> View Source

And send me the full source. At the same time also tell me which location the advert was in

plonk it into a text file and send me the text file via email and I will be able to fix it from there

I thought Advil was supposed to be painless.
