Hello,

I've noticed that the ads on top of the page automatically play with sound. That's really annoying whenever you're just scrolling pages while someone else watches TV or sleeps, or you're in the bus/train and all of a sudden you're alarming everyone with a loud ad.

Please fix this!

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

A small number of people have reported this over the last two days and we're working with the video provider to look into it. Ads with sound on load are absolutely not permitted.

If you see more of these ads, can you take a screenshot and get the URL that they click through to and post them in this thread?

Thank you!

Chris

Thanks! Last few times I checked there was no sound, but I'll report it when the issue returns again.

I've been getting these as well. What's strange is they don't seem to click through to anything. I let it play through two ads - one for Subaru and one for MaxGear whiteboards - and then it switched to what appeared to be a reel of 30-second gaming news clips. It was the sort of thing you'd see at the top of a Fandom site, rather than a proper ad in and of itself.

Update: They've been on EVERY PAGE this morning. It's making the site unusable without an ad blocker!

Have one now. Called Dime House? Never heard of them, but the commercial is in Dutch. Started with a doorbell ringing.
