Unwanted Ads

I have been periodically getting audio ads when I come to the UGGH Photography Forum. The one today was for laundry detergent. I mute them but when i check back to see if the ad is finished, it comes on again. When it begins, the Forum jumps to the very bottom of the listings and I have to scroll back to the top. Anybody else have this happen?

It's unfortunate. They need to make revenue but I wish they would use more static ads. On of the problems I've had is that the few static ads they do have my antivirus program blocks them and will not allow me to open.

I've never encountered an ad with sound, so maybe that's something new. The ads we see here help to support the forum, so I tolerate them. On the plus side, I responded to a Dell ad for a Chromebook, bought it, and love it.

If you're concerned, I would ask Admin about this. Maybe it's not supposed to be happening.

Not had it happen to me.
Sorry you are being subjected to it.

I never get audio ads here. I don't mind the static ads, but it is unnerving how targeted they are. Things I have been searching for lately show up in ads, and during the election, ads for politicians in my local election district appeared.

Please PM me a screenshot of such ad and the last time you saw it. I'll try to track it down.
