Forum:Issues with ads

In Firefox 2.0.0.12 the column on the right is extended slightly beyond the browser window (my monitor is 1280x800, so this shouldn't be a problem). Also, some ads are about 25% wider than the column, which makes the page even wider. In Internet Explorer 6, the add column is still wide, but the left side is under the main central column, keeping the browser from needing to scroll.

Also, adds for "Western Governors University" have been showing up in the past week. The problem with these is they have an audio segment, and I'm getting tired of constantly having to turn the audio off. --FortMax 20:34, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I consider ads with audio to be completely unacceptable. How much longer will these be in rotation? Can we count on audio ads not appearing again? I generally don't run adblockers because I want to help the sites I visit earn their revenue, but I have my limits... --Steve-o 05:46, 10 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Wikia can tell the ad providers to not include ads with audio in general. Wikia can block very specific ads given enough details (usually the url the ad links to helps a lot).  Various undesired ads do seem to slip under the radar from time to time, and needs to caught manually, so please actively report advertisements you find unacceptable to Wikia staff (including url, and reason why it's unacceptable -- I agree that auto-play audio crosses the line), so that the staff can remove them ASAP.
