Ads autoplaying sound


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. We have a new ad network and we are having a few issues. There have been a few redirects, and that isn't supposed to happen. What I am seeing more of are ads that play sound without being clicked on. The ads are set to mute by default.

If you hear an ad playing, can you post the sponsor name here? The network will look into it but I need to tell them what company, or companies, it is.

Thanks!

Speaking of which, whats with the video player ads at the bottom showing NESN videos all the time?  Ads are find but video ads consume bandwidth and cause congestion and slower site loading.  I haven't had any issues with videos unmuting on this site but I also stop them altogether, I've experienced it on other sites though. Just my 2 pennies :P Thanks for looking into it!

If you are not signed in you get a ridiculous number of redirect adds.  I am fine when on here but when i am at home on my xbox the site us almost usable as you get redirected about every 30 seconds if not more often.

The redirects are an issue.

JN is the only site I seem to get them on and it's concerning honestly.

I haven't viewed the site as a guest. I will try to do that tonight. Wasn't aware of this. 

Thank you, that is something that I will report to the network.

It is a HUGE concern. I agree.

This network that we just joined was supposed to provide better quality ads. They are filling 100% of our page views, so we now (finally) have just one network to check with. We will get it fixed, otherwise we can't run their ads.

The video player is something that they want in there, but I was promised it would be muted. It does take longer to load, but the way it is setup is that the page content should load and that loads in the background.

Ads are annoying, but it is an unfortunate reality. We had problems with several ad networks, I think these guys will work it out. I love that they are filling 100%, it is one stop shopping. And like I said in the other post, it makes it easier to troubleshoot when an ad goes wrong.

So any information you guys can post about problems, please post it here. I will have them take a look so we can get it fixed.

Thank You.

There definitely seems to be something seriously wrong. 

Just sitting on the forum page, there is this  continuous stream of requests, even when idle.  Below is a dump of some of the stuff that chrome caputred.

I noticed that as well, site is never really "idle" it's constantly refreshing/requests and occasionally the redirect.

Me too..... on my office PC I thought I saw a virus warning that my virus software caught. A Trojan something....  

very nerve wracking on a PC. NO issues on my IPAD.

I've experienced this issue but it is usually A/V or system resources issue.  If on a windows PC then when it happens try and have your task manager opened to the performance tab and see if you are spiking your CPU usage or possible disk drive I/O usage.

I have. It gets bad at times on my phone. On my laptop the site borders on being unusable. 

I don't complain because the site is free, and Max is doing what he needs to in order to keep it that way. But I'd be lying if I said the ads have not affected the site's performance considerably.

When you're done viewing JN or any website double-click the iphone home button near bottom, slide up and close all open apps to save your battery

Don't hurt yourself, "Jetrider".

I have 3 window PCs and have had no issues. However, I am constantly redirected every 30 seconds on my iPhone. I typically can't even get through one page of a thread when viewing from my iPhone.

Yeah, I have no problems on my computer.  

However, on my phone is a completely different story.  It's random and I'm not even sure what the ad is, but I have to close down the browser every time as well.

Why not have a paid option that removes all the ad network stuff?  Not only remove the visible ads, but whatever scripts that run as well, so performance isn't hurt.

Then members have the option to use for free with some ads (but hopefully not too many or we won't have much a community left), or pay a bit to have it ad free.

We removed the video player from the forums. Can you all let me know if:

1. You hear sound on any ads (that should be fixed)

2. You have any redirects or other issues

I thank everyone for your patience. This network is good, we will get this sorted out.

Thanks!

That's pretty common, you know how it notifies you when someone comments on a thread you are in or quotes you.. FB would have the same if not more activity
