Aargh - why does the Sky ad keep coming to life...

[LIZS]

even though the pop-up blocker is on . And how can I stop it please .

• it just started blaring about Sky Sports in the middle of my office! Not good!!

Hasn't done that to me - what happens exactly. Did you click on it by accident?

I don't think so although the mouse isn't as accurate as it once was so may have brushed over the edge !

oh god this just happened to me

dd1 can't hear pocoyo

which is the end of the world

Was just about to start a thread on this - i was listening the radio while MNetting and was interupted by the sky ad blasting out. The loudspeaker icon doesn't seem to turn it off. I have had to use the pause button. GRRRR.

Yes thanks a bunch
just screeched out over my office
this is VERY intrusive

It just blared out at me - and I didn't even roll over it.

Very intrusive and Not Nice.

This is horrible!!!! MN keeps shouting at me!!!!

TURN IT OFF, its interrupting very important dvd watching

Just did it again and cursor was no where near !

it scared the shit out of me and came on as my boss walked in as well, not good!

Yes it just suddenly appears and goes 'NA NANANANANANANAAAAAAAAAAAA'

turn the sound off

i haven't seen the ad but i have the speakers off so can'thear anything anyway

Hi,
We've reported it to our agency who seem to be struggling to locate it there end! Any more details about the ad you can give us would be helpful - it's for sky - is it a banner or skyscraper - and what page did you see it on?

Thanks

Sorry can't help you with that as I haven't even seen it - just got the loud sound though !

big square thingy on active convos and talks about the cup finals on sky sports

it's on Active Conversations page down the side , alternating with Lunchables and an insurance ad.

i have lunchables on my actve convos.....???

are ads selective??

Oh I've got holidays !

Aha after clicking Active Convos about 10 times I got a Sky Sports ad up - seems to start the noise automatically as I didn't touch it (honest !)

It came up when I was reading a forum conversation - embarrassing at work I'm sure, but also annoying to those of us already using radio or music on the computer, or presumably watching TV at the same time. For a site like this, soundmaking ads don't seem suitable.

did it to me too it's a sky sports ad.

It's just done it again - and I swear my cursor was nowhere near it.

It's down the right hand side of Active Convos.

Please take it away ...

Mumsnet Towers - did the agency find it yet? It's on active convos right now!!

and now it doesn't even have a pause or a volume control.
