Audio adverts

Question

I posted this in the International Café and Mariana asked me to post it as feedback

Is anyone else being driven mad by the advert for Harpic plus? It's an audio advert, it comes on every time I open a thread and it is so annoying it is on the verge of chasing me off the site.

I have had to turn my speakers off to save my sanity.

I am sure nothing can be done about it, but I feel better for havivng a bit of a rant .

The most annoying aspect was it would be interrupted half way through when you closed a page then start again a few seconds after you open another. Which happens quite frequently when you are looking at a forum and asking, or answering, questions.

I realised I could simply turn my speakers off before I resorted to leaving the site but I am very glad it seems to have gone today

Yes, all these audio advertisements drive me bonkers! - gintar77, Aug 30, 2011

Answer 1

You should get the addon if you are on Firefox called: 'Adblock plus' if you happen to see it again. .

I'm on chrome, and have ad blocker but this one still got through. - MaryMcc, Aug 30, 2011

I thought that the audio ads were supposed to be muted by default unless you chose to listen to one? - 0074b507, Aug 31, 2011
