Top add baner now making noise?!?!
Holy Crap! I'm sneaking into WaLakes to take a peek from my desk (as per my normal routine) and all of a sudden music comes blasting out of the speakers! So much for running under the radar
Frantically closed the page, plugged headphones in and got back in. Looks like there is an ad on the top banner called "Game of Kings" that has sound. It also has a little speaker icon with an "X" next to it, but guess what - it does nothing when you click on it, so no way to mute.
Mike / Aaron - kill it please?

I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker

we'll be on the lookout for it. I guess for you, it should have been called "The Games Up".

Re: Top add baner now making noise?!?!
I still haven't seen it. These are being served from Google BTW.
Re: Top add baner now making noise?!?!
I haven't seen it either. But someone mentioned ad blocker so I added it to my computer and there haven't been any ads.
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Re: Top add baner now making noise?!?!
Reminds me of a thing that went around work about 10 years ago.
At the time I was in a cube-farm with easily 50-60 desks in an open floor separated by those low fabric cubical walls. Someone sent an email with a link to EVERYBODY. You click the link and a high volume voice yells "HEY! I'M WATCHING PORN OVER HERE!!"
It echoed over and over from different desks all over the floor for the next 15 minutes. Then randomly here and there for the next couple days as those that had the day off or whatever eventually opened it

That really sucks... Today is the first day it has played on my PC and it kept playing over and over.

I'm getting it most of the time now, If someone could let me know how to get a screen shot, I'd post it up.Mike Carey wrote:still haven't seen it.
It has been coming from the CARBONTV header.
Re: Top add baner now making noise?!?!
when the image shows, click on your keyboard the ctrl, alt, and print screen keys.
then open 'paint'
when in 'paint';
click on 'edit' and then paste
the image will show up
then 'save' to whatever file
then post here. :-)

I just got it, but no sound, it required me to click on the speaker to activate the sound. Which yes, was loud.

Re: Top add baner now making noise?!?!
I agree, I never click on ads either. The problem with this one is that it pushes sounds whether I click on it or not and does not mute.hewesfisher wrote:Block 'em all be done with it. I NEVER click on ads anywhere, including WA Lakes.
Whats weird is it doesn't do it on my home computer, just my work one. Might me an Explorer/Firefox difference?
