We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep.

Ad Sound

Unread post by vegattk » Wed Sep 05, 2012 9:29 am

Hey Guys,

While I love visiting the new site... I do so mainly at work.. There's a few ads that play sound on the page and I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to turn them off. While I can always mute my CPU it's fairly annoying.. Anyone know any good tricks to getting them to not play in the first place?

I agree with you, the ads are annoying.

When you hear the ads, scroll to the bottom of the post/page you are on and you should see the associated ad. There should be a pause/mute/stop button somewhere on the ad where you can silence it...

Not a cure, but will relieve the symptoms!

That was a hiccup. This should be corrected going forward and there should be no audio ads at all. Please let me know if you hear one. I hate those just as much as the next person.

The ad that really gets under my skin is the one for the unc online grad business school.

Unfortunately I have no control over that - but I hate that one too. The program you probably can't get into? That's about as pompous as you can get - and ballsy too given their current academic issues.
