I haven't had anything morning, and I have been on while you have, stace. ....... I did complain to resident techgeek who may have done something ........ I doubt it though, as I asked for assistance on screenshots last night ..................… Yes, well they stopped for me yesterday, but today they are back. I've reported around five or six ads so far. I'm just checking with pro boards to see if they simply block those particular ads, rather than getting to the issue at source.

Yep, back again for me too. Very annoying.

Yep, back again for me too. Very annoying. Non stop streaming advertising. It's infuriating. I'm bombarding Proboards with bad ad reports.

I'm sorry you're still getting them, that's so frustrating. I'm glad that you reported it on the thread too, thank you. Lets hope that Proboards get to the bottom of it.

Hezz, if you get any more auto play ads, please make a note here so I can see it. I've reported another 6 or so ads today, and just relogged in and it seems to have stopped. I'm like a dog with a bone with these things.

30 page refreshes and no streaming ads. Fingers crossed it's a big YAY!

I had two yesterday while only on for a few minutes, and one this morning, a few minutes as well, earlier - Curtis Stone and his annoying Coles ads, and one from "Tekno" Unfortunately I was not quick enough to get the screen shots and post up. I had to go back to Marianne's post to remember what to do .................

You need to take a screen shot, pull up the report tool, upload the screenshot to your photo hosting site, copy it back in to the report tool, then write a message and send. I'm hoping we won't get any more. But I don't wish to speak too soon.

Stace - if you use Chrome "AdBlock" is perfect. Of course, it tends to block all ads, and ProBoards may suffer (but you will not). AdBlock

AdBlockYeah, I could have got an ad blocker extension for Safari or Firefox, but I'd rather get rid of the errant ad supplier. They are not supposed to be running streaming auto play ads on the forum. It's Proboards policy. Advertisers take up a big enough slice of our daily lives without having them screaming at me while I'm in budgie mode. And Ad blocker will block things I might want to see on other sites. Also, while some of us are computer savvy, there are quite a few older members on here who aren't so up-to-date with things and adding extensions can sometimes mess up their systems. Some also may not know they can do anything about it, and the video ads might even eat into their allowable bandwidth.

One can return to a state without computers and commercial TV networks, I suppose. I'm not even able to get the US Fed. Comm. Commis. (FCC) to get rid of the pirate radio stations in my part of town. Talk about unwanted noise. I believe in quiet now - right now - so I block selectively. Bird sounds are cheerfully excluded.

Completely agree with your sentiments here Stace. Same here. I know I could download Firefox's adblocker, but would rather this be fixed at home so to speak.
