I have just noticed I am getting auto play videos in the bottom right hand corner in some of the threads. You can't seem to stop and they have no mute control.

Very annoying and very intrusive. I guess it is how pro boards finance the free sites

If they did I'm sure we can find another free hosting site.

At the moment the only ads I am getting are the forums.net ads and none of the normal ecig ones. I haven't been able to replicate the video (i have had it twice) but I guess they are testing. Nick

Maybe Chrissie will know if Proboards have been tinkering/testing how to p*$$ off their users!

I run Ad Blockers on every site because they are a nuisance...repeat...repeat. Exactly the same as the junk/childish TV advertising. So much of it is akin to brain washing and as the too frequent repeat of the News on both TV and Radio.

I don't see any Ads at the bottom of AAEC pages. Have I blocked them as well?

There should be no audio ads anywhere on the forum.

The ad at the bottom right of every thread has been there since proboards V5 (3 years ago)

Although I can't stop any of you using a an ad blocker, I do have to remind you that it is against Proboards TOS, that you all agreed to when you joined, to do so.

We only get the e-cig ads when a vendor has paid Proboards direct for ad space. When no one is paying, they revert to Proboards in-house ads.

After checking on PB support, it looks like some audio ads have been slipping through their net -

support.proboards.com/thread/576928/video-ads

Unfortunately, I can't report them myself as I've never seen them.
