Noisy adverts

[Fifiesta]

Sometimes at night, If I couldn’t sleep I used to have a quick look at mumsnet.
Can’t now though - you can’t have a look at the threads without auto adverts that come up and break the noise limit. So counter productive, I get that adverts are needed to provide an income stream. But noisy adverts that just bast at you without warning are the pits !
Own Goal mumsnet!!!

Can't you just turn the sound on your phone off?

Go into browser settings and disable autoplay adverts or set them to play without volume

No it’s my iPad on which I also listen to audible.

Hi OP

We're sorry about this - can you give us an example of an advert with a screenshot if possible? We'll start looking into it right away.

Like this - sound automatically comes on very loudly. Most have been car adverts.

Hi again @Fifiesta - thanks for posting that screenshot.

We've been looking into this and it seems that this is a problem largely for tablet users. We're working on a solution to that right now - it may not be immediate but you shouldn't find it's a problem long term.

In the meantime, if this or any other noisy ad appears again, we'd be grateful if you could click on the ad to grab the URL - that will help us to track them down and deal with them more quickly. Thank you.
