Agg, Space Janitors Ad!

[soren7550]

Ok, so recently the Escapist has an auto playing ad (maybe even the whole episode) of Space Janitors. My problem with it is, is the fact that it auto plays with sound. If I mute it, then the whatever video I go to play on the Escapist is muted as well. The other option is to pause it, but that's only a temporary fix as whenever I go to a new page, it just starts all over again.

I know that this is a minor gripe, but it still irks me. Has this been happening to anyone else?

Yes, please...
I was already contending with the ads from every singe video I watch (which i kinda understand, gives them revenue...)
But seriously, why auto run space janitors EVERY SINGLE PAGE....
It makes no sense and its annoying..... it even shows up on the forums!

Uhm, I have no idea why, but it's not playing any sound for me. And I can watch other videos and they have sound. Weird.

That damn ad made me stop reading the forums, got a bit tired of the *scribble scribble hah* after a while

Funny, the audio doesn't play automatically for me. I'm on firefox, by the way.

But if it is the entire episode...why?

It shouldn't be auto playing with sound. Can you give me some more information?

EDIT: Never mind. I've seen it now. We're gonna fix that, sorry for the inconvenience.

I admit I did find it annoying even without the sound and smaller screen however I realise when you open another Escapist page the video quickly load up so the bandwidth is actually not that big.

Yeah, I've been seeing the ad today but never heard any sound. It seems NasrinNasrin has it covered, though.
