It happens when I am logged in, the advertisements on the home page play when I am browsing the forum.
Are you using IE mate?

I dont mind adverts, but the ones on here are horrific. I've never experienced a site that has so many LOUD adverts. every single page playing horrific crap over my music.
Agreed that being logged in gets rid of them but im not always logged in, I only log in when I have something to say.
If there is one thing that will drive me from this site its those audio heavy adverts.

the MEN have similar adverts without audio. So it is possible. Any chance we can get the audio set to 0 as default Ric?

Correct me if i am wrong, but if i click on the ad, does Ric/bluemoon get dosh? As i click on them a few times every day. Am i wasting my time?

I'm afraid not mate. Unfortunately they're only willing to offer those ads to bigger publishers at the moment. I've been asking for a while if we can have those on Bluemoon, but no joy so far.
I appreciate how irritating the video ads are, which is why we restricted them to guests on the forum. I know it's an inconvenience having to log in, but I guess the alternative is to switch your speakers off when visiting the site.
There's no guarantee the video ads are going to stay, it'll be reviewed again in the coming months. We've moved the site onto a far more expensive hosting package recently in order to prevent the downtime that was blighting the site during busy periods. This needs to be funded from somewhere, and advertising is the best solution at present.

No, definitely not wasting your time mate. Clicking the ads help, it's much appreciated.

Ta, I thought it might just be a set up option, seems weird that they offer them to "larger" sites but not others. I realise it's a funding issue and I appreciate it.
I'll mess with my links ( front page ad ignores being logged in )and try to go for the logged on all the time options. I just dont like leaving stuff logged in at work for anyone here to mess with.
