    Smiley Central advertising on Hexus?

    Just noticed an advert for Smiley Central at the top whilst browsing GD, complete with it greeting me out loud.

    Are Smiley Central now going to advertise on Hexus? I hope not...

    If they are, is it possible to disable the sound from them? Does get quite annoying having the ad blurting "Helloo" out at me randomly. I could mute it, but then that doesn't help if I am listening to music...

    Cheers

    We would need to check this as there shouldn't be any adverts with sound at the moment as far as I am aware.

    Can you confirm if you are in the UK and what ISP you are using?

    That's good to hear.

    Just checked my history, and it went to the url http://smiley.smileycentral.com/down...y.php%3Ff%3D16

    I was using my girlfriend's Internet at the time so it would have been AOL...

    Which means they are routing out via France - I will resolve this when I know the exact IP you were coming from and I can track it back Please PM me it when you next use her PC
