yeaGO please no autoplay ads. (the ad just above "Latest Articles" to the right on the frontpage autoplays online casino commercials with very annoying sound)

For the love of god, its on autorepeat too. Sorry, but its adblock until fixed. It messes with my music..

These make it through very rarely, do you think you could click the top right triangle on the ad and report it next time?

yeaGO I've gotten the same thing about four times in the last 24 hours myself and like the OP, I was tempted to turn back on my adblock but for now I won't. Would be nice if along with the upgrade or something similar we had a way to get away from those adds. Like for one dollar a month, just block those ads entirely.

Could you give me a screen shot and URL of this as, it will be easy to block.

Actually Aeradom that's what the supporter upgrade does :)

There's the four instances that happened while I was alt-tabbing through a bunch of tabs. And what do you mean by URL?

Oh and I believe I'm a supporter, I did the upgrade thing unless it's something else.

What does the address bar say when you click through the ad?

Here's one such address that I just ran into:

https://www.glad.com/in-the-kitchen/?utm_medium=paid-media&utm_campaign=GSF+FY17+AMJ+Glad+Food+Protection+BTS+Pulse+Period+DSP+Video&utm_content=149006664&utm_term=81088098&utm_source=N7088.3159.BIDMANAGER

It's different than the others though. Any reason why my upgrade isn't working to block those ads though? I guess I'll just turn back on adblock since I'm already supporting the site otherways but its still bit annoying.
