Aargh - why does the Sky ad keep coming to life...

[LIZS]

even though the pop-up blocker is on . And how can I stop it please .

[Tigana]

• it just started blaring about Sky Sports in the middle of my office! Not good!!

[carriemumsnet]

Hasn't done that to me - what happens exactly. Did you click on it by accident?

[LIZS]

I don't think so although the mouse isn't as accurate as it once was so may have brushed over the edge !

[Cappuccino]

oh god this just happened to me

dd1 can't hear pocoyo

which is the end of the world

[ChippyMinton]

Was just about to start a thread on this - i was listening the radio while MNetting and was interupted by the sky ad blasting out. The loudspeaker icon doesn't seem to turn it off. I have had to use the pause button. GRRRR.

[PetronellaPinkPants]

Yes thanks a bunch
just screeched out over my office
this is VERY intrusive

[WigWamBam]

It just blared out at me - and I didn't even roll over it.

Very intrusive and Not Nice.

[tortoiseSHELL]

This is horrible!!!! MN keeps shouting at me!!!!

[PenelopePitstops]

TURN IT OFF, its interrupting very important dvd watching

[LIZS]

Just did it again and cursor was no where near !

[ThomCat]

it scared the shit out of me and came on as my boss walked in as well, not good!

[tortoiseSHELL]

Yes it just suddenly appears and goes 'NA NANANANANANANAAAAAAAAAAAA'

[CuriousSquid]

turn the sound off

i haven't seen the ad but i have the speakers off so can'thear anything anyway

[JustineMumsnet]

Hi,
We've reported it to our agency who seem to be struggling to locate it there end! Any more details about the ad you can give us would be helpful - it's for sky - is it a banner or skyscraper - and what page did you see it on?

Thanks

[scatterbrain]

Sorry can't help you with that as I haven't even seen it - just got the loud sound though !

[PenelopePitstops]

big square thingy on active convos and talks about the cup finals on sky sports

[LIZS]

it's on Active Conversations page down the side , alternating with Lunchables and an insurance ad.

[CuriousSquid]

i have lunchables on my actve convos.....???

are ads selective??

[scatterbrain]

Oh I've got holidays !

[scatterbrain]

Aha after clicking Active Convos about 10 times I got a Sky Sports ad up - seems to start the noise automatically as I didn't touch it (honest !)

[elkiedee]

It came up when I was reading a forum conversation - embarrassing at work I'm sure, but also annoying to those of us already using radio or music on the computer, or presumably watching TV at the same time. For a site like this, soundmaking ads don't seem suitable.

[LilyLoo]

did it to me too it's a sky sports ad.

[WigWamBam]

It's just done it again - and I swear my cursor was nowhere near it.

It's down the right hand side of Active Convos.

Please take it away ...

[ChippyMinton]

Mumsnet Towers - did the agency find it yet? It's on active convos right now!!

[ChippyMinton]

and now it doesn't even have a pause or a volume control.
