Banner ad

Hi Adam.

I seem to remember on a thread long ago you said you have power of veto on the ads which appear as banners above and below. If so, any chance you can nix that entertainment.ie ad?
Apart from it frightening the bejaysus out of me first time out, it has since become more annoying than anything else in the whole world. Every time you change page!

Cheers in advance.

I second that; or at least kill the sound, not very work safe. I had to pretend I did a comical sneeze.

Can't kill the sound so I've killed the ad. Should disappear in an hour or two; if it doesn't ping me back with the actual URL it points to.

It made me realise I didn't have ABP installed at work, so some good came from it.

It doesn't seem to be disappearing. Can someone tell me the URL it's pointing to please? I can't click on my own ads, static IP address.

I am going to boycott it now as a result. What were they thinking?

**dahamsta** · 23/04/2008, 5:09 PM

It's gone now, isn't it? Took more than a few hours though!

I know, but its on other sites. They shouldn't be producing ads like that in my opinion, not when people on these sites in work. "Look at me, i'm not working"

Edit: Apparently you can just right click on the ad and uncheck the play option.
