The Samsung autoplay ad that kept replaying itself over and over again, has forced me to enable adblock.

I didn't want to do it.

Can you:

1) Take a screenshot
2) Click the link and then copy and paste the domain it goes to?


There should be no autoplay ads on the site. In fact, I'm not allowing *any* video ads.

I suspect you have a virus which is injecting its own ads on top of the site (this actually happens more often than you think), but would like to see the ad and where it takes you to confirm. That way if it is somebody abusing the Google advertising system, I can ban them from the site.

I have to admit 2 things I really like about this site

1) it loads quickly
2) it does not have annoying pop up ads or any annoying ads for that matter.

In fact it makes me mad that most other sites are not as user friendly as this place is.

*tip of the hat*

I ban video ads, pop up ads, interstitial ads except on first launch of the mobile app (you can thank Apple's crazy fees and barrier to entry for me needing to make more revenue up there), and what I find the most annoying of all ... text injection ads.

I disabled Adblock and reloaded, but the offending ad is gone now. If I am again plagued with an autoplay add, I will do as you requested.

It definitely was not a Flash ad though. I have Flash autoplay disabled constantly.

Apparently, it was showing up in more places than here.

I use the mobile app a lot, it works great & very easy to use. A+
