I was replying to a thread, when this annoying video advert popped up in the bottom right comer, I've never seen these adverts on Hexus before are they new?
They are so annoying, When they start I automatically start to think "what the hell is that noise", if the page is not needed to be open i close it, but on a forum like this I have to mute it which is also annoying.
Anyone else hate these video adverts with sound?
I don't have speakers so only see the vids!
anyone else remember the adverts which had the insect buzzing noise on them? I bet adblock plus gained a good few users when that was doing the rounds.Originally Posted by Blackmage

I use adblock so don't see them.

hmm theres one to the right of this reply box as i type. its not doing much..
that is until i move the cursor over it. a timer apears counting down from 3, then a video pops out, begins to download itself and you cant close it until its fully downloaded which is very annoying. then away it plays. ooh you can even tweet or facebook the ad too if you want to.
at least it isnt insta-play on page load and you have to hunt around for the close/mute button which is usually very tiny or hidden away by being the same colour as the background.
these ones seem to be the best out of a bad bunch, neccessary but not annoying like the rest.
Strangely I seem to have lost the adverts next to the reply box but that might be the result of IE's tracking protection?
