Super annoying flashing advert, puts me off using the site at the moment

Anyone else have a rolling banner advert for the police at the top of their page with emergency vehicle lights flashing?

So annoying as it catches the corner of my eye when scrolling.

I have tried responding and blocking but this just seems to encourage it more.

Aghhhh

Yep, same with the toy adverts...very annoying. I get the advertising is a necessity but it's affecting my vision when reading threads.

Hello and thanks for posting. Please share screen grabs of any ads you'd like us to take a look at.

Plus those small pop up videos that have suddenly appeared. They are small and dark but cover part of what I'm reading

I've had some in the last week where it's not something within the ad which is meant to be flashing, but rather the whole ad appears & disappears multiple times & very quickly, making it flash. It often happens with MN ads, ironically.

On multiple threads, Chrome on a Chromebook.

That rolling banner is mega annoying whether it's flashing or not. Moving adverts always make me feel queasy when I'm trying to read.

The popping up videos seem to be slowing the whole site down for me. I have to keep closing the tab and coming back in.
