MN seems to have a bunch of feature videos on the right hand of the display - they autoplay. So annoying. I have ad blocker on but presume this is part of the site.

is there a way to set these so they don't autoplay? thanks.

I agree, it's really fucking annoying, make it stop.

Grace212 · 18/12/2018 11:07

I've tried every setting, I presume it's MN settings that override everything so they autoplay? Argh.

I'm having problems with this as well. It's incredibly annoying. Even if they just autoplayed on mute it wouldn't be so bad.

Grace212 · 18/12/2018 11:31

on mine, they do autoplay on mute
but it's still incredibly annoying.

I was just going to start a thread on this, so annoying that I won't be using the site until they stop. Really, really annoying and intrusive.

yup, super annoying. I currently have the window minimized to not show the entire right half of the display.

I have the feeling this is another aspect of the on-going war between people who want to communicate, and those who try to drown them out. You see it all the time on news websites - the columnist writes an article, the ads try to overpower it.

I hope I die before I get old.

I started a thread on this on 4/12. Still waiting to hear from MNHQ after posting details they asked for! I have just reported my post to see if they update me.

Pausing them doesn't really work, because as soon as you refresh the thread, they start again!

BearSoFair · 18/12/2018 13:46

I was just coming to make a thread asking if anyone else had this problem!

SassitudeandSparkle · 18/12/2018 13:59

Yes, it's every time you load a different page.

CanadianJohn "I hope I die before I get old."

Hi there everyone,

We're really sorry about this, it sounds like it's been really annoying. It should be sorted now.

Do let us know if it continues.
