I need help with Huffingtonpost.com |
|
I don't know where else to go to ask for help but here. They have a promo for the movie World Trade Center that comes on audio every 30 seconds. I can't even read over there without it distracting me constantly. Where can I write to complain? I see no link anywhere or an e-mail address. Is this just bothering me or have others noticed?

As soon as the sound starts, I just click off the page and leave Huffington Post. If you find a way to complain, let me know.

2. Complaining about 9/11 heroes? Why do you hate America? |
|
;):hi:
Is there an "x" in the corner of the ad? You can click on it to make it go away.:)

3. I don't hate America.... |
|
I just hate Huffingtonpost.com. :-) :hi: No place to click the commercial off. It's the audio I object to playing over and over again every 30 seconds. How can you read the articles with a commercial constantly playing? Very Irritating.

8. That is an answer but I hate to do it because |
|
I'm sure I'll forget to turn it on again. I'm thinking another answer is not to read over there anymore. :argh:

14. I can't believe muting/unmuting the audio is such a big deal! |
|
Handle routine things in a routine manner! One click on, one click off, not too taxing-I know you can can handle it easily! Probably a better solution than not going to the huffpo any more.

Nothing has changed here though. I use the same browser and never had any previous problem. They just started playing this promo in the last couple of days with the audio.

9. I've noticed it! A lot |
|
It's the only website I allow myself to visit at my new job, so every time it comes on, I've learned to wait, then hit pause. Of course, if you actually go to a blog, then return, it starts again....but, oh well

11. Wait, Is Turning The Volume Off Not A Viable Option? |
|
Is there other content on that same page that requires audio or is the solution as simple as turning your volume down?

That worked!!!! Even if I had to get abused here to get the volume off, at least I can read there now in silence. It was worth it. :applause:
