Man, friggin' Call of Duty... Ruins everything.

Are you still seeing this? If so, can you try clearing your cache and then reloading?

**Baekhyun** · 2012-06-08, 06:29 PM

There's a huge annoying "World of Tanks" ad on the front page. http://s12.postimage.org/qbpxd6qa4/worldoftanks.jpg

**DeltrusDisc** · 2012-06-08, 08:24 PM

Got that on the computer forums. Still have window open and I won't refresh/leave it if you'd like me to try and figure out where it goes, however I can't simply right click it and hit inspect element.

**Gringgotts** · 2012-06-09, 12:48 AM

"Transformers the Ride" on the home page. It plays a very loud static noise upon mouse over and is very annoying.

**Pfeff** · 2012-06-13, 08:17 PM

Just had 5 in a row (5 different ones) for buying wow gold...something I've never even googled or looked up so I have no idea how they got into my rotation, but I'm guessing you guys don't want that shit on this site. I tried to hover over and check where the links pointed, but it had the super long addresses from most ads so I'm not sure if they all went to the same site or not and those types of sites are the kind I'm not about to click and see where I end up, just wanted to let you guys know

**Sunshine** · 2012-06-13, 08:43 PM

Can you provide us with some additional information, like screenshots and the clickthrough links?

**Laikai** · 2012-06-27, 10:16 AM

Finally managed to get a screenshot of this at home. Whats more annoying about them is that when it comes it seems to be all three - all with their sound. The same ad in the screenshot in all three.

My location is New Zealand. And well, probably obvious from the URL, chrome.

**Evil Inside** · 2012-07-02, 01:51 AM

The obnoxious ads at the bottom of the page keep cycling and playing non-stop, even when I mute them.

**Laikai** · 2012-07-04, 02:17 PM

As above, I'm having the Kardasian ad's starting again on all three. What made it even worse was when I clicked to open the diablofans on another tab and had 3 there too, so six all spouting the same $$$$ at the same time.

Awful.

**2s2p** · 2012-07-05, 06:43 PM

Wouldnt let me right click it, was flash or something.

But there was a little mini add for the same thing right above the new blizzard blue posts to for it.

Pop up thing didnt come up right away ether, was a few mins later.

**Ryukai** · 2012-07-06, 02:12 PM

Philips Bodygroom pro banner add freezes the web browser for anything up to 30 seconds on page load or even the smallest of mouseovers.

Had to close the browser twice with task manager due to it becomeing unresposive after accidentally mouseing over it

**Sunshine** · 2012-07-06, 02:27 PM

Can you take a screenshot and/or find the clickthrough link, so we can see which ad network is serving it?

**Ryukai** · 2012-07-06, 02:39 PM

This one

Sorry can't get the link due to the instant webbrowser freeze on mouseover

won't let me rightclick it :/

**Sunshine** · 2012-07-06, 03:16 PM

Thanks! Also, which browser are you using, and do you have any browser extensions?

**Ryukai** · 2012-07-06, 03:19 PM

IE9 (yeah yeah I know, but I like it and it works for what I need :P ) and no extensions at all just the basic explorer.

Then again depends on wether or not you class things like java/flash as extensions :/

**Protoman** · 2012-07-07, 02:40 AM

I am getting some adds that slow down my computer from something like "ads.pubmatic.com" or .net and they keep loading random adds that don't even show up sometimes and totally lag me down or freeze my screen for several seconds. Instead of loading and stopping it continues to keep loading and it's getting very annoying

**wing5wong** · 2012-07-08, 03:59 AM

extremely annoying uninitiated sound ad.
heavily impacts browser performance, especially with multiple tabs open all displaying the same ad
