It's doing it on my PC. It's been happening all week. There are generally 3 windows at the bottom of the page that are running the video ads. Right now it's only 1. I just started getting the videos today, hadn't seen them before. I have to shut off the sound now because they start running every time I open a thread. I'm running every kind of adblocker, anti-spyware, anti-virus, etc. that I can think of and crap still keeps coming through on this site. ONLY on this site. Pretty much every piece of anti-anything software I've put on my computer is because I had to have it to keep this site running. I'm even using Chrome to try and make it work and I hate dealing with Google. Yea, I know it's free. But it sure is a pain in the a$$ trying to keep this site working when you're not a computer geek.

It's the reloading pages that's killing me on iPhone. 50% of pages reload.

I've googled---- google chrome ad-blocker--
Bingo fixed it.
Down loaded it, all better now.
Right now, as I type this it's showing 16 blocked ads.

Last night I ran CCLEANER, which cleans out the cookies. This morning it was still running the ads. So I downloaded ADBLOCK on my PC and haven't had a problem since. I didn't do it on Crome, I loaded it on Mozilla and has been working great.

across the web, how many other sites are as much fun as this one?
across the web, how many other sites causes as much problems as this one does?
where is the balance point/tipping point?
the snakes that creep onto this site seems to be increasing in both size and numbers.
how do we best kill off a bunch of the invading snakes?

I work in online media. Rick's choosing to have auto-roll, auto-sound videos because they pay a higher CPM. But he now has three video ad spots coded, so if you have a long thread, you get assailed with multiple ads. The more he puts intrusive ads on the site, the more people will install adblocker, which costs him money. It's a death spiral.

Maybe sell your guns and take up cooking so you can hang out on the cooking web sites exclusively. I run 4 different devices with Firefox and AdBlocker and have nary a slight twitch with any of them here. I don't think I lead a charmed life for some unknown reason. Maybe its those "other" sites that you visit that are maybe giving you the internet's version of the clap. Have you ever tried clearing your cache and cookies and your computer history in your lifetime?
It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.

Like others, if there was anything I knew that would help.......I'd certainly pass it along.
I run Firefox and Adblock Plus on my desktop. I also access the site with an iPhone 6. I absolutely have no problems. I experience none of the problems which many others have related.
I have cleared cookies......I do on a consistent basis. And I consciously installed Adblock Plus. Beyond that, there is nothing special with my environment. I certainly did nothing special with the iPhone. I'm a complete neophyte with the smart phone technology.

Its also base on CHROME, and "customized to Indian users". #1 Most worry about Google, now you want them to use a customized version for Indians? Customized how? You want some foreigner stealing your schit, this is how to do it! #2 because its BASED on Chrome, by default it wont be updated to include the newest security fixes until AFTER Chrome updates. If youre on windows, get Chrome, get adblock plus, get spywareblaster. Google how to install this kind of crap. If youre on an iphone, live with your overpriced POS.
