Is there a way to stop the advertisement videos that play when I am reading a thread?
I don't remember this happening until this afternoon. There is no 'pause' or 'stop' button to grab so I can silence the video and it slows down my system.
I don't mind static ads but the videos create stress on my computer system - and me!
Help, please.
You can set video preferences in the google ads by clicking the |> symbol but if you are getting auto-playing videos then you may want to check your system for malware / adware that hijacks the ads and inserts it's own.
As far as I know google doesn't allow auto-playing video ads (unless it's a rogue advertiser).
Frequently I am finding that the text color & highlight box is blocked by the ads on the right side of the message box when writing a new post.
Any way to resolve that, Simon?
Thanks,
Doc
rogue advertisers are common on another board I frequent.
@Simon - Thank you. I went to google and changed my settings. The problem seems resolved.
Thank you!
