AUDIO ADVERTISEMENT ISSUES

[GoneCamping]

I got one moments ago when I loaded the previous page here (page one of this thread, it was the Mystery Shopper ad...

[Gouge]

Apparently mine is still getting the Walmart gift card ad. I'm not seeing it anywhere but a few members are still complaining about it.

At this time has anyone still had any issues? The last post regarding this was about 2 hours ago, so I'm hoping all is well.

It has been more than three hours since the last audio ad occurrence. Thanks for your help.

[Luke]

When is that note going on the main admin page??

I guess its a good thing I have Ad Block Plus installed for Firefox. These ads sound annoying. Based on what I've read, seems the more Patrick reports these ads, the more people encounter them and the frequency of them is increased. But perhaps I am a little late and this matter is finally resolved. Though I must say, the paragraph at the top of my Admin section is rather ugly. =/ - it has been removed

I have never had any of these problems in the first place - thank goodness.

All of my boards seem to be ad free this morning. Thank you very much for all of your help!

I haven't had any issues with audio ads now. However, I have been getting ads that expand outside the ad size.

[Marty Seppy]

i found a pop out one. i got the link to the site.
www.panasonic.com/business/toughbook/toughbook-special-offers.asp?cm_mmc=Sigma-_-Banner-Horizontal-_-Tremor-TechandBusiness-SpecialOffersPage-_-Expandable728x90-Promotion

and the add was on here.

[VS Admin]

Updated the first post to include details that you can report to us to help us find these ads and block them.

[Storm]

I have a question about the right clicking part of it. How do we do this is if the ad goes back to an adobe flash player and doesn't give the url like a normal ad without it does? As you had seen my earlier thread with the drop down ad. Is there a different way of obtaining this for you?

Not an audio ad issue, but still...

Rollover-expanding ad, I was on SafetyNet doing a little maintenance, and got a Nissan ad...
*runs off for a moment to upload screenies*
webimg.niobe132004.net/nissanad1.bmp
webimg.niobe132004.net/nissanad2.bmp
Before and after screenies... The ad returns to normal banner size when the mouse it moved off of it...

Now, I'm a FireFox user, and as such, have access to Page Info (context on page)... Two URLs for the ad itself (didn't know Flash did that):

I couldn't get a site link (ever notice Flash gives a really cruddy context menu?), so I wound up clicking on the ad... Leads here: www.nissan.com.au/webpages/offers/nissan_offers.html

Pat, I hope this covers what you need for this ad at least... As much as I like Nissans, I hate to see anyone being sneaky like this... O.O ;D

I also saw it on another forum not my own though. That's what I came to report. Luckly I read this post.
