I had more than one tab open, so perhaps it was youtube, Peggs! Pleased to meet you, by the way! If it was youtube, hopefully it was an ad at the beginning of a good video. Pleased to make your acquaintance, as it were, as well, Mare. Fingers, arms, legs and eyes crossed that is the sitch, Peggs!

It's not just you, Mare. I also am getting the ads with audio. Only noticed during a lull in the cd I'm listening, so not too big a deal.

It was doing it when I first logged into the Back Porch, but haven't noticed it for awhile. I checked the icons at the bottom right to see if there were any settings I could update, for the Free Forum platform, but didn't notice any on first glance. If you find a work around, please share, Introvertigo!

I just heard an ad when I checked this thread. I refreshed the page and it was gone. I don't normally have the sound on so maybe just didn't hear it before.

I'm on the fence about blocking the ads. While I don't like the audio intrusion, I realize that sites like freeforums need to pay the bills in order for us to have this place free of charge. It would be nice if it were different but the days of ad-free anything is long gone. Until or unless the ads become a genuine nuisance or adversely affect the navigation of these pages, I'll just keep the volume turned off and the stereo turned on.

Peggs, the ads are paid by clickthroughs, so just viewing them on your screen doesn't "generate" revenue. AdBlock simply prevents them from showing on your screen. Just as well as not clicking on them. I haven't seen any ads from these forum pages yet. Also, they are blocked in Facebook.

Thanks, blushift, that's good to know. I'll give Adblock another look.

Cicadashell and blushift, upon further reflection and research I have now installed Adblock Plus. It is good to know that by doing so, freeforums is still able to pay the bills. Thanks to both of you.

I have it on good authority (meaning a completely unsubstantiated post from another thread on this forum) that Paul McCartney is interested in buying this forum, so there should be plenty of money rolling in soon, and just in time for the holidays. Huzzah, Mammon!

What took Macca nearly two years to come to this decision? Jeez!
