Feedback: Ads with sound
- Thread starter State43

Guys trust me - this crap is just as frustrating for me as it is you. Trying to locate these ads is the single most difficult aspect of independent publishing. I've put more hours into this in the last week than anything else job related. We're doing our best. Hopefully we have a solution to the damn dog treat ads soon. I apologize for the inconvenience.
I use Safari. Yesterday I was bothered by the loud unstoppable ads but haven't been since I clicked on the Ad Choices (triangle in the upper righthand corner of the ad where the "X" normally is). Somewhere on that page that describes what the Ad Choices program is, is an "opt out" link which I followed. It may be pure coincidence but I haven't had a loud ad since that time.
I saw that and thought it probably was NOT something I should click on. Maybe I'll try it next time. The first time this morning I got the Greenies ad. CLicking on it goes here http://www.greenies.com/dogs/dog-dental-chews.aspx?sc_cid=Greenies_OLV_SpecificMedia_Q12015
Update: just refreshed page, clicked on that triangle which took me to this page http://corp.specificmedia.com/sites/privacy/?cid=752373&bid=3283632&lid=385617 Now am "trying" the opt-out for five years link. That use a cookie, so suppose I need to do it for all my browsers. Sheesh.

Are we getting anywhere with these greenies ads, it's super annoying. Yes I know, volume off yada yada.
I'm working on video editing as part of my job and it's annoying when I can't surf CF and work.

I'm getting a ZIP Sport one that plays ads with sound every other page. Also working with video at work and it sucks.
Nevermind, I forgot I had adblock at work, problem solved (only use at work when needing to kill these).
If you guys can grab me some URL's and/or screenshots, that'd be helpful in getting to the bottom of this. I have yet to see one.
I'll fully admit I have adblock on, but only on the small section that has those ads. I turned it off to take screenshots, and I'm not sure you need them to report. Everytime I refresh it auto-starts a commercial (not the same one, it cycles between movies, products, etc). It then goes to the FlowPlayer that plays random stuff from People.com, bands, or NBC.
Seems like this "FlowPlayer" thing is the current issue.
edit: Here are 3 screens I took. One for a movie preview, the flow player that plays after every commercial, then an example of another commercial.
