Wasn’t sure where else to post this - just an FYI, I was on the front page just now and three or four video ads all started auto-playing at the same time. Two of them didn’t have a pause or mute option.
Yeah, sorry about that. Quite the cacophony, huh? I had the ads pulled as soon as I saw that this morning, but we should be good to go now. No more forced audio, either singly or in groups.
Gah, sorry about this guys. This should definitely NOT be happening. Totally uncool.
We were told automatically playing audio had been removed from the rotation, so if you’re hearing ad audio without clicking on the ad, PLEASE let me know so I can get this nipped in the bud. It also helps if you let me know where you are. Locker K, you’re in Ohio, I see. Shiva, where are you?
Iowa.
Just hit up the front page again and no audio at the moment.
The first time it was some dog food ad. Then I tried it later and it was something else, though I didn’t pay enough attention to figure out what it was that time (and it was only one audio instead of two).
Hey Tom, I’m here in Maryland and there was a Scion ad whose audio was auto playing on the front page for me yesterday morning. Hasn’t happened today though.
Central NC (RDU area) and getting the Iams ad auto-playing on the frontpage amidst a sea of Humble Bundle stuff. It’s in the ad block between the Movie Podcast and Game Reviews widgets on the right column.
