I keep getting audio ads every few minutes. Sometimes its for Mattress World other times its hard to tell because the audio is playing but the ad itself is blank. Happens on just about every thread or page.

I'm having some dental ad play at 10x volume every time I open a tab.

Please remove audio ads. These are an absolute dealbreaker for using the site for me.

Absolutely insane to pay for a subscription to a website and have that website play ads with audio.

Pathetic.

Agree with all above. Abbeville Dental fires up every few minutes, with the volume cranked to 11.

FIX IT!

Lots of ads opening news pages in the last few days as well. Some allow you to close to go back, others requiring hitting the back button.

On mobile.

Edit to add, one is mentioning an iPhone virus and needing to click a link.

I'll mute my speakers and it somehow is able to override that and still blare in my office. Super frustrating

I find myself with a deep and abiding hate for Abbeville Dentists, since theirs is the ad that continually blast through my speakers.

This is while their ad is showing that it is muted.

Good grief, fix this

I've heard VRBO, Google something, and one other ad within the last 5/10 minutes on the auto board main page and 2 topics in it.
