Please quit with the audio-default-enabled ads that autoplay - About xda-developers.com

Hey guys
Please Q/A your ads setup. Playing audio enabled auto-play ads is extremely annoying and beyond acceptable.
Let's keep both of us happy and un-adblocked.
thanks

Do you mean on the site or the app? I always have my speakers turned off on my machine at work, which is generally the only time I'm not on XDA using the app, so I never noticed sound in the ads.
I hate that sh#t though--especially when I'm at work and not trying to draw attention to the fact that I'm taking a break from working to spend time on XDA.
At any rate, the XDA Premium app is well worth the $1.49 to not have to deal with ads (or having to use ad-blockers to get rid of it)...

they are on the laptop/pc and are insanely annoying, watching something else while on xda (i.e. rooting video) and the dishwasher tablet advert starts up out of nowhere with me left thinking "WHAT!!!!??? WHAT KIND OF IDIOT DECIDED TO PLAY THAT!!!!"

Please take a screen shot of the offending ads and post here or pm a senior member of staff. We generally don't like this crap either..

i will post them here, thanks for the advice
edit: Here's the first of many culprits,
...and another one
....and another one

What is this???
Why are the adverts starting with audio enabled?
Seriously I've been using this site for many years and can't believe you guys would stoop so low...
Yes you need Ad Revenue but this is clearly taking the piss.

I'm getting one for Vanish carpet cleaner over and over, it just won't stop!!
Also the option of creating an acc with Skipit so I don't have to listen to it and all I have to do is pay a dime every time I skip an add !!! WTF??? I have to PAY not to listen to this rubbish.. You have got to be joking !
And I've just found that the pause and mute only work for 30 seconds and then the buttons don't do anything and the adds just play and play with no way of stopping them or shutting them up.

Hello Mr. Fridgeman,
Please, why don't you try to relax yourself for a moment and let us work on this issue?
Using this kind of attitude it is of any help, we are working on it but, since we aren't the direct culprit for this kind of ads, things may takes some time to solve.

Yeah, what is going on in these advertisers head?
"Hey let's annoy the living daylights out of possible customers, that way we are sure not to get any customers."
What's worse is that people will install ad-blockers causing sites to lose revenue, couldn't you theoretically sue the bastards for doing this?
I haven't actually encountered sound ads here, though I have on other websites which is really annoying when you are working with 60+ tabs. (can get as high as 400 but then its just because I haven't been cleaning them).

I might have found a work round, or I might have just not had this come up today (or the site might have fix it?)..
If you right click on the add and pick 'Settings' from the Flash options at the bottom (not Global settings) and reduce the amount of local storage allowed to zero it may stop the add running...
All I can say is, I did that yesterday and I haven't had it run again (yet!).
You might have to restart your browser (I'm running FF)...
I was wrong. It doesn't stop it, it's just started up again
It's now coming from 'tag.ybrant.hiro.tv' But still has the Skipit banner at the top...

I have a personal policy that forbids that. I never take a phone into a restroom. I like to believe that noone I call or who would call me would take a phone into a restroom either.
Same as Godefroi. I wouldn't use any phone while using a toilet. I've always been grossed out by the people chatting away on their cell while relieving themselves at the urinals in malls and movie theatres. But with this phone I'd be paranoid of it falling into the water. If it somehow survived I doubt I'd ever feel comfortable holding it to my head if the waters were murky so to speak.
As for the actual original purpose of the thread... no. I might someday but haven't yet. In part because I forget my password for the forum around 97% of the time.
I don't really post here on my TP2. As great as the device is the Edge speeds just aren't fast enough for me to click on multiple links.

Gosh, what sort of a topic have we unleashed here?

NOTHING

Closed ok ur welcome
you want to create something revolutionary that everybody will want to use, yet you don't know what it is and you are asking for ideas :/
if you truly want to do something for WM community, don't waste your time on yet another home screen or shell replacement. We have plenty of those already.
Create a framework so that other developers could code apps around. Make that framework flexible, look good, light and fast. Maybe even extend .NETCF35 with a new UI widgets.

I am one of the thousands of users who are getting tired of WM. It's old, clunky, slow and there's no games. I am writing to tell everyone, i will be creating a new user interface for the windows mobile platform. TF3D is ok in my books, so is the today screen. SPBs software is by far the best but it needs a lot of work. I am looking to make something revolutionary that will make them iphone users want to switch to WM lol. What i am trying to do is make something everyone will want to use. Because of this i need your help to get an idea of what are some of the things you would like to see in such a program. Also throw me some names i can call this thing. Thanks for reading.

It is alot of money I certainly agree, but man it's sexy. I'd also use it on at least 3 devices, as I have a D1 and 2 other tablets (a7 and archos a70)
I tried it quickly, and have a friend using it. Very aesthetically pleasing, and some pretty useful functionality. I figured with no Honeycomb on the horizon this would be a nice UI fix on the a7 in the meantime.
And yes, I tried on the tablet, and it won't run... it FC's. Although I see no reason it couldn't, the resolution is the typical smartphone res.
I may just rip the build.prop signature from my moto droid or find the atrix signature and push that to my tablet's build.prop. Worst case is I have to reflash the elocimod...
pretty sure those build prop mods youre thinking about; changing build fingerprint, is for accessing apps in the market. that setting shouldnt have anything to do w program execution. or was there another setting you were thinking of?

Well I was thinking I could trick the device into not reporting as a compal naz 10. The a7 doesn't have a different resolution than most smartphones so I figured it should run on the tablet.
If they plan to update then I can probably wait.
I tried SPB Shell 3d today on my A7 and it works great as is. A few little annoying things I couldn't figure out, like how to get rid of the phone icon on the launch bar, but otherwise, nice. Not my personal favorite but I'm keeping it for a bit to play with.
Just press and hold the phone icon and it will bring up your apps, you choose one to replace it. And the blank spaces on that bar if you press and hold those you can select more apps (up to four in the bar) The animations are sweet. Of course if I turn tablet off then I lose SPB as an option for launcher and have to unistall and restore my titanium back up or atleast restore data.

Hope that solved youir issue with it not working after you purchased it.
mmm, is your licensing issue just about the restrictions for tablets, or does that circumvent paying for the app?
pretty sure thats not encouraged around here.

I'm not posting anything new not hard to find if you look around.
by the way I'm guessing adding gapps to a device google didn't authorize to have it is much different. Just my opinion, but alot of developement seems to be done in grey areas. That app wasn't designed to work on tablets. And how about the person who paid for it and it doesn't work.
@rombold; yeah, we all know about gapps, and its obviously promoted for use on this forum and every other forum regardless of google contracts or licenses. but its also a private developer forum that generally doesn't encourage screwing the little developers.
no need to get butt hurt for being called on promoting warez/bypassing paying for a small developers app.

#samsung-epic-touch: now under new management

Okay guys, after the ridiculous debacle today, those of us who frequent the IRC channels decided that it was time for a change.
For most of the day, that change was moving to a new channel. However, after some talking a few of us actually got cnz(RoadRAGEN) to listen to reason. He's turned over control of the room to an unbiased bot and gave a number of us operator passwords. To top it off, he's agreed to stay off the op list unless absolutely necessary (he won't be raging out anymore, he has his own private channel for that now). The rest of us can sign into the bot and get ops so we can keep peace and order if needed. Otherwise, the only people who get automatic ops are the bots and no one else.
Okay, first the one and only new rule. No more posting logs on xda. the moderators are probably sick of it by now and it accomplishes nothing besides starting fights. if you do post logs and we catch you, you'll get banned until you take it down. To make it worse, we don't stop cnz from doing it himself. It's counterproductive and stupid.
Lastly, cnz(RoadRAGEN) said he will dial it down inside the channel and around here. He had a talk with the moderators today and we had a talk with him in the channel. XDA didn't ban him and neither will we. It was talked about for a minute...but he banned me first...it was a fiasco. BUT, it's fixed now.
Now before you get all apprehensive, remember that despite cnz being a complete douchebag who often forgets what "crossed the line" means, he's still one of our most talented developers and has contributed a lot to this young community. Every rom up in here either directly uses his original updater script, uses a heavily modded version or pieces of it. Yes, sometimes he's incredibly insensitive and no one in their right minds would defend his personality or his actions (especially today), but he understands what happened here today and knows that doing it again is stupid.
It's all about the Android so you can come out from under your beds, the boogieman isn't also the doorman anymore.
If you're still angry about the incident, it's understandable. But remember, like xda, irc is a community and in no way do the actions today represent the community as a whole. It was as a community that we discussed the problem and it was a community that we dealt with it. So don't think this decision was made lightly.
If you don't agree, please keep the flaming to yourself. We don't need another out of control thread about IRC around here.
So this means my +q will be taken off?

Yes, but it might take a minute, we're still kinda learning how to operate under the "bot is god" paradigm.
**edit**
nevermind we already lifted all the bans and stuff. all's well. clean slate.
I would love to learn how to dev and step up but have been avoiding irc due to this situation.

DO NOT bring IRC related drama to XDA...
It really doesn't get much simpler than that does it?

I seem to have missed all that, so I guess I'm the ignorant party at the moment. I really don't think the changes made or this thread should be held responsible for the unwieldy comments of others, though. I've been nothing but civil in all this
But I don't blame you, though. I can't imagine people are going quietly into that good night and I'm sure I've been getting my fair share of the flames as well for trying to mediate all this nonsense.
I wasn't pointing the blame in any particular direction.
Just making sure everyone is on the same page.

Of course not, I didn't mean to insinuate that lol.
When I went to bed last night everyone was on the same page, but I got a bunch of PMs saying I was "flamed by some noob" and the thread/posts are gone (I guess that was your doing lol, thank you). I was just saying the angry words of a few don't represent the opinions of the rest of us.
People have their opinions. That's not illegal yet, so I'm not offended. However, if my name is eventually going to be Mudd, then I'll probably end up ceasing my attempts to help out and go back to my little corner to make roms again

Will do, although based on empirical evidence, you'll probably hear about it long before I will lol.
Thanks absolutezero. I haven't been on irc in a while. Honestly just forgot about it. What are the best times to go on?

lol whenever, the only real dead times are between 5am and 9am
I think it's funny that I posted "Uh oh..." and it got deleted.
Drama is as drama does.

Thanks. That's what I was wondering when the dead times are.

Hey guys just fyi, I'm not associated with the channel anymore. After nearly a dozen PMs in IRC and almost another dozen on here about how I'm a hate monger and a jerk off, I've decided that it's not worth it and I've had enough.
To all of you who PMed me with negative things, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
To those of you who appreciated the efforts, sorry I couldn't do more.
Being ostracized because I refuse to bend to Mob Rule just feels wrong to me, but that's what is happening. Apparently I was being offensive by treating everyone with equal respect without discrimination and not being an anti-cnz hate monger like everyone else.
It sucks, I liked that irc channel, but there's capable people running it still. I won't be going back. I'm tired of being nearly constantly flamed for trying to be fair and helpful.
*sigh* I feel better now. Peace guys.

Ads with sound?

Seriously, XDA? I realize it's expensive to run a site like this, but ads with sound will keep me from participating here.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not...
I just got a video ad on an XDA page that started blasting audio at me. If that trend continues, I don't want to participate in this forum. Just a moan as the forum description says.

Yaaa.
This is a Add template of the Xda to Run The Forum.
It's difficult to run such a Huge Website.
And if you Become Recognized you get a Add free Template.
Else till you are not Recognized you add block in Mozzila or Chrome.
Sorry if I Hurt anyone in Anyway. ..
And all people Use it as it is.
And to be frank where there is Knowledge Database we should not mind the Ads.
As XDA is a Huge Ocean of Knowledge and Database which you Can get anywhere else.
Hope you Get me.
Hit Thanks. ..

I get you. I have no problem with ads in general, and I totally appreciate the resource that XDA is. But I hate it when a site starts blasting audio with no warning. Like a lot of users, I'm listening to music much of the time, and suddenly have two things going at once. It makes for a very iffy user experience.

You act like we hand pick the ads. Obviously we don't allow auto-playing ads like that as they are really annoying. Our ad networks are pretty good with keeping them out, but if you do see one please let us know on the "Intrusive Ads?" thread! We'll report them and they'll remove them if they haven't already (because if they are playing here, they are probably playing on other sites as well).
why ?
