noisy advert in joke thread

[Lord Pikey]

Its from mobile spy, and makes a noise like sonar..

its a german ad if that helps

[AndrewS2]

This is SO annoying!!! Also appears on every single classifieds page - beeping 4 times every time you change page (frequently in classifieds). Of course can mute speakers - but listening to radio!!

Also accessing from Germany, probably a German user targetted advert.

Understand the need for adverts, but this is surely putting users off the site - I for one will be switching to Auto Trader to flick through the classifieds until its gone

It's my understanding that adverts with sound are not allowed on PH, so I imagine the relevant people will get it sorted pretty quickly.

[Benni]

Still ASDICs the hell out of the forum.

I have notified the relevant chaps over here and they'll take a look.

[AndrewS2]

Still happening.

This is the one if it helps. Thanks Switch

Ah the joys of ad blocking programs. I never see an ad on PH and never watch an ad on youtube. Or any other website.

For those of you with Firefox, give Ad Block Plus a try

There's another one now, on the front page and in nearly every single thread, for some online role playing game, Drakensagen or something like that.

[James Dean]

Got a picture of it today.

We have binned all gaming related adverts from the entire Haymarket group. This might take a few hours to fully apply but should be fine shortly.

Keep me up to date please.

thanks chaps

Unfortunately it's still there, on 4 out of 5 threads I open.

[Benni]

Still there, this time in the "chav numberplates" thread.
It is not a game, but a "funny" phoney phone-spy software sold way overpriced to (german) knuckle draggers.

[Benni]

Still there, had it yesterday in the MBH "login" thread.
I am in germany and it´s a german ad, but nerving still.

[Switch]

Sorry this is still around chaps

[Benni]

New Science Forum, great, thanks.
Old HandySpy advert in there, still not great,
