Hi,

I have one small remark regarding your advertisments. The video that automaticaly plays when opening any wikipage is extreemly annoying.

I understand that advertising is needed, but to have a video play of simultaneous on 4 to 5 open webpages when i launch opera is just irritating. Please fix it.

I don't think that is supposed to be occurring. Where are you seeing this exactly? Screenshots are especially useful and Help:Bad advertisements has a step by step guide for reporting misbehaving ads, I recommend taking a look. Thanks! Kirkburn  talk  contr 15:40, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

I came to complain about these as well. They start automatically, show an ad you cannot stop first, then go to play a random video. One with profanity in the music, and a gold-selling ad over it. This happens on all pages (minus the profanity in the music.)Drakkenfyre (talk) 14:49, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

I also must complain about these ads. The reason I stopped using AOL's AIM is because it had sound in ads at the top of the application. If these must continue, I will have to discontinue my use of this website. I have included a screenshot as an example.

I have confirmed this as a problem, thank you for your screenshot. I've reported this up the food chain. For now I would suggest logging in (logged in users don't get ads). Please let us know if you see any other problem ads. Thank you. --Pcj (TDrop me a line!•C207,729 contributions and counting) 18:43, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
