ADs with two videos playing at same time messing my site up!
-
The advertising block, on my blog is automatically playing TWO videos at teh same time, automatically and are offensive and annoying to listen to at the same time and is really bringing the user experience of my blog down!
I’ve had my blog hosted here for over 5 years but if you guys don’t fix that soon I will move my site elsewhere. I understand advertising on free blogs, but I also host a domain here and expect at least for my site users to be able to browse my site without TWO annoying videos playing at THE SAME TIME on some posts.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Are they auto-playing with audio? As far as I know that should not happen – video ads should only play audio if you mouse over them.
In order to investigate this we need to know exactly which ads you’re speaking of, but the ads people see on your site depends on their location and browsing history, so no two people visiting your site sees exactly the same ads. In other words, I don’t see any video ads on your site. I just see two static image ads.
Can you please take a screen shot of the ads in question, and upload them to your site’s media library here:
https://ozarksdetector.com/wp-admin/upload.php
Let me know once you’ve done that, and if possible also provide the links it takes you when you click those ads, and then I can ask our advertising team to have a look.

This actually happened on my blog today as well. It was Knorr stock cubes. I wasn’t even on the post page when the second one started playing. Really annoying and not good for visitors to my site.
Happened on this page:

If helps to identify any issues, I have been using firefox today instead of chrome. There was a speaker and volume icon on the tab and I clicked that and it went quiet and hasn’t been since then. So perhaps a browser issue also?

It happen on single posts…randomly where ad block is…they switch from images to videos randomly and pay two at a time .. autoplay…mucinex ads

I did not say it’s a browser issue. I said the ads people see vary based on their browser history, and that I don’t see the same ads as you see when I visit your site. I see image ads for get.blog, not video ads, so there is no way for me to know exactly which ads you are speaking of.
Please take a screen shot of the ads and upload them to your media library so we can investigate this. I cannot do anything more without that information.

You can use http://snag.gy/ or http://cloudup.com to share screenshots and link to them here. If you use the WordPress.com guide for screenshots http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/ you can and upload it to your Media Library, and return to this thread to provide the file name so Staff can examine it.
