For some reason other than them being annoying enough already when mouse goes over them, they are getting triggered every now and again and its not me...

I know its a video, but if I want to watch it I will click it and not accidentally swipe over it.

Do you mean ads that start playing a video when you hover over them?

A bit o/t, but I never go on STV site now due to video playing automatically.
If I want a news video, then I'll play it on my own.

yup those the ones...

Not necessary and when I have several browsers (not tabs) open all at the same time, can never figure which one did it.

Ok, none of us are seeing them at PH Towers. Could you post up a screenshot of one so we can identify it to our ad team and see about getting it removed.

Also, is it playing audio?

I've not seen any of these expandable ads confused

I have an unhealty interest in ads, so always view everything; but have not seen an expandable on PH in at least a year (and that was a homepage placement only).
