I opened a thread and then got a screen that said A word from our sponsors And a commercial popped up. First time that happened, at first I thought something was going wrong!
Anyone else have that? |

Not a commercial to see but I did click on here earlier this evening and got some singing which could very well have been used for a commercial. I clicked through my tabs but I wasn't connected to anything so I closed them all and re opened them. It was gone. Really strange!

I clicked through my tabs but I wasn't connected to anything so I closed them all and re opened them. It was gone. Really strange! Next time, check down toward the bottom of the thread. Down on the bottom there is a section that has a list of other threads (I can't remember what is called) and on the right it has links from "around the web." But sometimes, where those links are there will be an video ad complete with sound. I know this because it scared the ever-loving hell out of me one very quiet morning- I jumped, dropped my coffee cup and there were pieces of my cup in puddles of my coffee everywhere. It was a bit messy.  |

I think I did when I was going through the registration/sign in process. But I haven't since I have had the board remember me and I don't have to log in each time.

I've been being driven crazy by the phantom singing/voices and unable to find any open tabs or programs that it would be. Thank You for the info. And also, my computer (desktop) has been acting weird since I joined this site. More times than not, when I click a link/thread it opens a new advertisement window tab and has random words underlined wherever I go that when hovered over are more Ad's. |

It's very late and quiet here and I've just been scared witless by a voice suddenly coming from nowhere along with bell sounds then I realised I had been hearing ads!! Will check there next time, thanks!  |

Recently I've been plagued by video ads on various sites including this one. I re-installed Chrome's ad-blocker extension and I haven't had any more issues on this site, except there's a notification at the top of this board that says:
