Hey everyone. I just wanted to apologize on behalf of the admin team for the deluge of auto play video ads that are causing scrolling issues.
If an ad comes up and it causes you issues, please post in this thread as soon as possible with the company that the ad was for, and if it was above the board index or below the board index.
I've given our account rep 24 hours to fix the issue before we take our business elsewhere, because this is obscene.

Thank you!!!! The video ads have been a complete nightmare on my computer. The two worst offenders for me was that commercial with dog, I don't even know it was for because it barely even played it lagged so badly. And one about Split. I don't know what that was either. I tried my damnedest to avoid them and TCF because they had basically rendered TCF unusable for me.
I'm about ready to throw my laptop out the window and then run it over with a car.
I am less than amused with whichever ad network is either directly serving bullshit ads or is slipping them into a package that they're reselling to an unsuspecting 2nd network

I haven't seen the ads (maybe because I'm usually mobile) but the OP is giving me all the feels. NariaDreaming, I know you have to do what you have to do, but if there is another mass exodus and my support community disappears, I will be really, really sad.

Nobody is going anywhere. It's not a proboards issue, luckily. It's with a 3rd party ad network. PB has been amazing to us, and I see no reason to move from their services anytime in the forseeable future.
So worst case scenario is we fire the ad network and we find a new partner to work with.

Ah, thank you for clarifying. For some reason I read the OP as if it wasn't fixed in 24 hours the whole community was disappearing and I kinda freaked out for a minute. Made me realize how much I rely on this community.
You can put fucks in all of the thread titles about auto-play video ads that cause scrolling issues
So... a big "fuck you" to the same advertisers we were instructed not to offend by using curse words?
Mmmkay.
I made a promise when we came here- that if it ever boiled down to advertisers vs. the community's access/morale/tone, community comes first. And I'm putting my money where my mouth is on this one. The ads from this particular network have been nothing but a pain in the ass for more than a few members over the past week, and they've not been responsive to getting the problem solved in a timely manner. And if they're not willing to resolve issues, then I'm not keen on continuing a partnership with them

Yeah it looks like we need a different ad network or something.
I went looking at living room rugs at Walmart.com the other day.
and then was inundated by a week of Walmart rug ads. I go to a lot of places online, but that one was stuck. it was the same rug I bought. and it was featured at the top of the page ad, the side bar at the top and bottom ad and the very bottom ad. I don't need to have 4 different ads for the same rug that I bought and now am tired of seeing it on my screen so much. lol.
They don't seem to be particularly good at what they choose to run as an ad and the video ads are just icing on the cake. I mean the pregnant teen ad seems a bit much since I don't think that's our target audience at all and I'm hoping it doesn't run on the infertility and loss boards--although I just clicked and see it there.
