I have been seeing in the upper right hand corner of all these Snowest web pages, a movie ad.

This unbelievably annoying for a couple of reasons:

You have to scroll up and mute the darned thing to get it to shut up, and you have to do it ON EVERY FRIGGING PAGE!!!!

STOP THIS INSANITY

Anyone else find this absolutely annoying as heck?

The sound is SUPPOSED to be TURNED OFF by default.
You should NOT be hearing anything unless you click on it and unmute it.

Just logged out as an admin and came back in as a FREE MEMBER.
Used both FIREFOX and IE.
In both cases the video starts up MUTED.
Only as the mouse passes over the ad does the sound turn ON while the mouse is over the ad.

The default player setting IS for the MUTE to be on.

Same annoyance with safari, it is so annoying I surf with the sound off, unless I'm actually watching a movie or a video that I really want to hear. These ads, videos, and all the rest of this profiteering BS on top of our paid membership fees for our forum is pure unadulterated mother F.....,,,,bull shat!

Same problem with chrome, super annoying. If you are all ready listening to audio you can't use the mute button and that stupid add fires up on every page.:mmph:

Click to expand...

Same here, no sound unless the cursor goes over it.
Firefox.:light:
Now for another question. I have a monthly limit for my internet. Does this video in the upper right hand corner add to it? If I go over this limit it does cost me $$$
