New Ads
|
What's the deal with the new embedded ads showing up inside people's posts? Are they being added automatically, or are people choosing to include them? I know the site needs to cover its costs, but this is a bit intrusive. |
|
I'm not enjoying them either. Honestly I'd prefer ads off to the side than in between text. |
|
Yes, the ads suck! The best tactic is to pm the users who are including them below their posts, I found that pretty effective. |
|
so you can choose if you want adds in your post or not? Camhead are you suggesting that you PM them to have them delete their comment which then removes the ad? |
|
The ads were annoying at first, but very quickly you learn to tune them out and they just become part of the background. Now when they start chirping and become animated that would be annoying. |

I haven't yet seen the ads. Do you have an example? |
|
We removed a banner ad at the top of the page and are trying these out instead. The banners were all over the map, and not very relevant. |

The most annoying one is the epicTV video ad on the main page. It automatically plays with sound every time I visit this page. ahhhhhhh |

You can gang on up them to increase the pressure to fix it... I've asked them to "Stop Ford (and others) from having sound in your ad units". epictv.com/content/contact-us |

I agree it's fuckin whack.Yes, pm-ing users works well. If that doesn't work, contact an admin, and they'll give you a refund of your mp membership fees. |

I knew those dues would be useful for something... |

Thanks for the clarification, Nick. The borders help a bit. I don't love the ads, but I'm glad to hear it's not some new affiliate marketing BS infecting the site. |
