I realize this is the 4th topic on this matter but we haven't had an acknowledgement on the others. If Java is enabled the video ads take over the entire screen. The site is unusable.


Can you stop the ad popping up in the browser? Also, the page takes 10 times as long to load because it is loading the video.

They'll need to know which advert in order to block it....

There's several. Food hacks and Matt Edmundson come to mind. But, it's all video ads. They need to block the format.

If PH don't acknowledge this I'm going to report each thread on the topic to forcing the issue into their inbox.

I hit the "news" button earlier on this thread. I also posted on the other thread about font issues. I have so far been completely ignored.

I have spoken to the ads team here today.

- the first video shown on this page should have been turned off.
- if anyone else sees any videos, then please post screen shots here so we can get them removed.

As someone commented on another thread, on the ipad it's an annoyance as you can just turn the volume down, but on an iPhone it takes over the whole screen and makes scrolling through a thread impossible.

Magic meals is now the standard one I get with Java on. Again, on the iPad they are just loud and annoying. On the iPhone it takes over the entire screen whenever you try to scroll.
