They are very annoying. I have been just turing off my speakers.
I haven't encountered any autopsy ads. I wasn't aware we even had any.I'll have a look and see if there's anything that can be done about it.Def
The problem is, we don't actually have video ads, so this issue shouldn't exist.I've shuffled a few settings in our ad service, but honestly I don't know where they are coming from. Have you tried a different browser, and if so, are you experiencing these ads there as well?Also, if you could let me know what they are for, what company/organization/website etc, that might also help.Def
so now I see a commonality... you're both on macs running Safari.Can you try another browser such as Chrome or Firefox and see if they happen there as well?Seems odd, but perhaps some Safari routine is kickstarting ads that should not play without being clicked.
Whoey:I'm computer illiterate, also, and I don''t want to try downloading and using another browser for fear I'll mess something up that I can't fix.These pesky video ads are a recent phenomenon. I don't recall exactly when they started but I'm wondering if they are tied to MTO's new format. I didn't get them with the old format and I haven't changed any settings that I"m aware of. While Aloha007 and I are the only members to have responded to this thread, I'm wondering if the problem may be more widespread and others simply aren't reading this thread. Could you or Def pose the question in other sub-forums to see if the problem is more widespread?For now, I'll do like 007 and just turn the sound off.

(I'm not very good with this stuff.) Go to your profile and click (account settings). Under modify profile, click (Look and Layout). Across from current theme, click (change). Under SMF default theme - Curve, click (Use this theme). Done, you should now be back to the old theme.
I just installed Sierra and so far I've heard nothing. If I should hear anything I will try reverting back to the old format. Crap as I was about to hit send auto play ads.
