That one with the helmets and revving noise. So annoying I close the page when I hear it. Can we just have silent ads please?

Yep.. The noise is back, and as annoying as ever....

I can't help thinking this is going to be the way of the new commercial corporate PH...

Actually that's 11 out of the last 12 threads I've read that have been closed. I never thought I'd join in the "worse under Haymarket" band but it's starting to get that way frown

ETA - and the ing thing is on this thread too rolleyes

Message to Haymarket - I have NEVER used an adblocker and I never for a moment thought that it would be this site that prompted me to install one. However the one I have now installed is working very nicely. Sorry about your reduced page impressions.

Interestingly, I experienced a split-second of sound before it was abruptly cut off. I wonder if RacingPete (PH Developer) has a workaround in place that is barely working to try to disable the sound if enabled?

I have no doubt that Paul and Pete are aware of just how much this advert has annoyed people - we had a major thread in it last month - and I'm sure they want to see it sorted as much as we do (if only because PH is its members to some extent and to lose them is to lose their investment).

Yep those damn "helmet" ads are back again.

Mods - how come they went for a few weeks and are back again - I thought you were looking into getting rid of the sound on them? confused

Curiously it is off by default on my system but I appreciate it's annoying. I'll bend someone's ear tomorrow.
