Got a Netflix pop-up today...

Just like before, I need URLs and/or screenshots to take back to SW to get these things fixed, so as much intel on bad ads as possible helps a ton.

What's the story with the soap ads? Are they force-streaming audio or something, or (otherwise) what's annoying about them? I think I've seen a few, and they had play buttons, but didn't seem to force anything on me -- so maybe I haven't seen them all.

Nothing's changed, we shouldn't be seeing any pop-ups or forced media streams. The ads that change if you interact with them (expand, play media, etc.), I don't know where we stand with those yet -- as long as they don't force the extra content on folks and stay inside their boundaries at the same time, I guess they don't bug me.

I'm not sure if the audio played, but the banner ad at the top enlarged, and a video clip played without any interaction on my part.

Here's a screen shot...

You definitely hadn't even moused over the ad?

Not challenging your claim, I just want to make sure I'm explaining it to SW properly in the complaint.

I guess I can't say definitely, but I was pretty sure. That probably doesn't help one bit...

:lol: Sorry.

Finally some advertising I can fully support! I really didn't know this either.

Is there a way to let them know this worked. Maybe I could send a pic of my bar tab. How's that for direct results?!

Same here. I am seriously wondering if there's a way to let them know that I wouldn't have known if not for this advertising. I imagine that if I have a few buddies with me, we could be talking two hundred dollars in bar tabs on a Saturday. I'd just like to let them know their ads worked, and I'd be willing to show proof.

Where the hell do I buy one of these motorized bar stools? What an amazing add!!!

Is Rocketman selling these at any type of discount?

Shocking, that Buckyle's screen is on a motorized bar stool, for his screenshot. Good work.
