Damned Saab advert!!!!!!!

[Joe911]

Ted - can you stop that damned "Saab 9-3 Aero V6" banner ad that keeps appearing?

It has two annoying (and IMHO) unacceptable features:

- accidentally mousing over it (which is way too easy to do) makes it exand, and it's way too big

- it has sound FFS!

- it appears way too often!

Sorry - that's three annoying things!

Sorry, that's the price of the site being free to use.

I've already cancelled the overlay advert as that didn't have an obvious enough close button. That's lost us money but I do appreciate the annoyance factor was too much with that one.

I'm not arguing against adverts - although I for one would pay a modest fee to get rid of them - I am just aguing against those with large mouse-over popups and sound! Please?

ok, could you get the Renault ad in with that gorgeous french bird? I could live with that

I don't mind these rollover ads, or any of them actually, the only thing I have is when they suddenly expand, taking up the whole screen and you can't see a close button, so have to click them to get rid of it, close the new window which hs opened, then you accidentally roll over it again .

But some of the ads I like, I enjoyed playing with that Saab rev counter ad

Car adverts have never been the sames since Nicole ran off with Vic.

Am I right in thinking that was a Clio advert series? Where the guy runs in on her funeral and they drive off into the sunset in his clio?

She looked pretty good for a stiff!

I've arranged for the sound to be turned off.

Very kind, thank you.
Can that be a general rule going forward (i.e. no ads with sound) - or is it, unfortunately, on a case by case basis?

[PetrolTed]

I do normally ask for sound to be off as the default, but that one slipped through.
