Adverts with sound

What fresh new hell is this?

Am on an iPad (Safari browser). Am now getting adverts on the right-hand bar playing with bloody sound/video. Please make it stop.

I may well be an “outlier”, but more forced advertising is going to drive people away, not encourage them to look at said adverts. I can’t even tell you what the advert is for - my only instinct was to hit the pause button to make it shut up!

@HebeMumsnet - it hasn’t happened so far today. If it does, I will definitely update you.

Am wondering if this will end up being a time-related glitch. Seem to remember there was one a while ago which kept occurring after midnight (can’t remember what it was though!)

Hi there @Furries . That does sound annoying. Can you send us a link to the page you were on when you saw it, and if you can, click on the ad so you can send us a url to it? As soon as we can track it down we can look into it. Thank you!

same here. And I’m only on mums net as can’t sleep, so getting sound from an advert I have no interest in, not only made me jump (as it’s the middle of the night) but my family are sleeping…

puts me off mumsnet entirely
