What's with the 'music' blaring out of ads ? I sometimes read PH over lunch at work, just as well I had headphones plugged into my laptop. Others may not be so lucky.

The ad appeared on the 'Exit Poll' thread and was for something about Music Charts. Bloody annoying, please kill it.

I have pointed the ads team at this thread to look into.

The ads team would like to know a little more about the advert if you see it again - whether you know exactly what it is for?

Judging by the amount of 'advert problem' threads, I think you guys must be spending much of your advertising revenue employing staff to get rid of the bloody things. smile

I'm sure it makes sense to somebody lol.

Happening on roughly 40-50% of the pages I load on PH now. Been several different adverts too.

I'm seriously thinking I won't be looking at PH any more if this continues.

It appears to be all P&G products then - will have a response as soon as I get it on the progress.

We have put blocks in place on these adverts - expect them to be removed shortly, and then when they return to have sound off.
