Agree with your last posting.

This site may not run without advertisements but it also would not function without posters.

The annoyance with this particular one is the frequency with which it repeats the same waffle, especially when your looking at a different tab and the same story starts again.

It's much like the BBC's news 24 channel on a no-news day, whale stranded in estuary, unexpected heat wave, first snowfall on the high tops, sofa sale at DFS...

I still just have the sound turned down as I don't think that it'll be around for too long, such is the extent of the annoyance reading through this thread, even the ones that usually defend the ads as the life line of PCA have written some pretty harsh words against it.

I think it's gone . . . !!!

There's something similar in the same spot but it's now from KODAK.

It doesn't land on the video section and when you do click the video tab, it's paused waiting for you to tell it to start.

Yes, it was rather annoying if you had the volume turned on, and anyone with a slow connection would have been hampered by the constant download of the same video file after every click.

That's progress - and thanks to the team who made it stop happening. Errrrm . . .

I was unfortunate to visit the site in the early hours & did my usual "middle mouse button" clicks on each thread title I wished to view.The noise was horrendous as umpteen videos all proceeded to play so I quickly hit the PC's mute button.I then visited the youtube video posted of a russian woman singing,and un-muted the PC trying to hear her voice but that darn video on PCA was still running.Thankfully,it has now gone & peace has returned to Speakers Corner(until the next time)Who creates these adverts as they should always include some method for the target recipients(us)to turn them off if they don't include a "run once only" feature.These kind of adverts are counter-productive,people start using ad-blocking software,cease visiting the site etc.
