I just got a pop-up while logged in to ATS...tribalfusion if it matters...

There's a Bird's Eye Voila ad showing up that makes whooshing noises. It's a flash ad.

I think this is the code that creates it

Just wondering but why would you think that the above link is the code for an advertising ad?
Were you able to click on that link and see a code there? I clicked on it and I can not even get it to open. What program did you open it in... just wondering. Thanks

Allow me to jump on the "remove the ad" bandwagon too. I have to keep the sound turned off inorder to view ATS when the smilies are hellllllooooing. I don't have seizures but I can't tolerate flashing ads either. I have to get out of ATS when those ads appear.

Oh yeah! I hate it too!

Had the sound up, late at night, scared the WHATZAT? out of me the first time!

I like my smilies to be seen and not heard, thankyouverymuch.!

Kill it, please, kill it before it breeds......

I'm using firefox in Vista and don't have any customized pop up blockers installed other than what came with firefox and vista. I don't get the annoying smilie pop ups of obnoxious audio!

I noticed an earlier post with a screen shot of Internet Explorer.

I would suggest you download, install and use firefox

Firefox ROX!

But the smilie ad that "talks" is in a frame at the top of the page, and it "talks" every time you mouseover.

And the first time your cursor passes over the stupid thing it stops everything dead while it loads up the sound file.

It's incredibly annoying and they're wasting their money on an ad to me because I would never buy their lame product.

But since it pays to help keep ATS online, I guess I'll tolerate it, but I won't click on it.

It does, however keep me on my toes, since I now have to avoid even passing the cursor over a lot of real estate at the top of the page, to avoid being propositioned by the little ho'ing, helloing smilies.

Kind of like avoiding the bad part of town where the ho's, pimps and dealers hang out, you know?

I Use Firefox and No Script
I didn't know there was even a mosquito or a fart maker.

Edit: Linky fixed.
