Voice adverts!

How do I stop the awful voice over adverts that keep appearing? One for Radox and now one with some bloke talking about London being the most popular city. It's driving me batty! The only thing that stops them is to close down mumsnet everytime.

Hi all, it would be really helpful if you could let us know the specific advertisers you're seeing who have auto-play adverts with sound, it would be great if you can also post a screengrab too.

We don't allow ads that auto-play sound on the site so we'll get these blocked as soon as possible.

Okay, so the problem's occurring on both the desktop and mobile site. Thanks for letting us know - our Ad team are on the case.

Oh, and sorry! We know how infuriating this can be.

I'm on a laptop in firefox.

Haven't had any yet when using mobile site.

Please sort them, it's spoiling my MN time Grin - whenever it happens the whole page freezes and I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del to shut down the whole ruddy thing Hmm

I'm on an android phone, on the mobile site using Dolphin.

And I swear after I wrote that post above mentioning the name of the annoying advert it is happening on nearly every thread! Does it know I'm talking about it? Confused

Hello Dawn
I'm using a laptop with Vista operating system, and my browser is Mozilla Firefox, I'm just on the ordinary site, not mobile or app.

I'm getting the hotel Transylvania one one on my phone
Very annoying if trying to browse quietly somewhere
I'll de register if it continues

Oh dear, we're really sorry if you're being bombarded with noisy adverts. Sad

Can you all please let us know which devices you're using, which version of the site (mobile, desktop, app) and if possible which browser.

We'll get our Annoying Ads team on the case.

AyeAmarok · 10/10/2015 21:37

Oh these fucking adverts. Angry

Please sort it out HQ.

I'm getting one about some Transilvanian movie or something.

How am I supposed to pretend to be working and have a sneaky stealth MN browse on my phone when suddenly my phone starts playing trailers for movies and adverts out loud!!!

You're going to get me fired . Please fix it!

Allalonenow · 10/10/2015 19:15

How can I turn off the adverts with sound????
They are driving me mad!!!!!

Even when you click to turn them off, they spring back to life again a few seconds later.

I can't concentrate on reading the thread when they are playing Smile

And late at night when they suddenly start, they are really creepy.

I keep getting the really annoying radox ad, it makes me jump everytime, I do not want to listen to random ads on mn thanks. It also freezes my page repeatedly. Not impressed.
