Could you give me a little info on the ad itself? Who is it for?

I'll try to find it and get it blocked

some origin usa ads, some realtor ads, and one that is just a dudes voice kinda humming and music that goes away after a few seconds with no video that I am aware of.

this obnoxious full screen ad is something new for sure. Should we be getting these as paid subscribers?

I am getting over and over again what sounds like some guy yawning. Almost done with Texags because I need my sound on for other functions.

Is there any visual that could help us identify the ad?

The audio doesn't match the ads on the side at all.

Yes, this is the one I referenced above. It does not appear to have video that goes with it. I usually see a gray box where the ad normally is then a sperry ad or something else replaces it while the music is still playing

Just happened... yawning sound then some music....

Same. Getting VERY annoying. I think it's the ads with the old style "Learn More" buttons, and the ads cover up the AdChoices icons, so you can never click or complain about them. Making the forums a negative experience, imo.

And again.....

annoying as hell...

These are the family of annoying ads i was referring to and they cover up the AdChoices icon by design. $50 says it's the same outfit with the unwanted audio.

Heard it tonight twice about 10:30 PM. Guy yawning and some music is the best way to describe it. Cannot see what ad is doing it.

If anyone could grab a screen shot of the page while its happening (with any ad on the screen), maybe we can find a pattern.

For me it seems to be the ad in the top right corner but it happens when it switches from one ad to another when the box is gray.

I switched to the mobile site last night while on my PC and it didn't happen, but that could be a coincidence as it hasn't happened this morning, so far!

I just got the yawning again. It doesn't seem to be associated with any particular ad.

ETA: it was on the premium board when no ads were present
