For me at least, the audio ads only make sound if I hover over them. Sometimes I do on accident, but only for a split second so it doesn't bother me. It does however sometimes scare me.
 
If you press the mute button on the ad it should mute most of them. I had that issue before and haven't heard anything since. I try my best to block the risqué ads and the annoying ones. To do that I need to use Chrome because it gives me details of the add to block. My standard browser is Firefox.
 
I actually tried waiting the only fix 4 me is hitting enter a few times.
Plainview view slow typing didn't work for me either.
I didn't try the multiple enters. I used this: (if you're on an Android phone/tablet) Do a Select All on the text you're quoting and copy it. That fixes it. You can then type away. This leads me to think it's some kind of formatting issue. I tried changing themes and the problem is still there.
 
I've never had that problem with Android. Been using it on this site for as long as the site has existed.
 
When did you guys upgrade to JB? Is this something that just started happening or has this happened in the past?

Hasn't been happening since the start. It only started a couple of months ago for me. I tried different browsers, different themes, different devices and still have the problem. I just do the Select All & copy to get around it. My tablet is on Android 4.4 and my phone is 4.3
 
don't know if been asked or exists but i have a windows 8 phone, can u make a live tile for this site?
 
Plainview , what is this rating thing I see in my profile? Is it dependent on the amount of likes you get or something like that?
 
Isn't it just Likes + Agrees + Funny + Informative?
 
I understand the need for ads on the site, but these auto-play ads are extremely annoying. Is there a way to disable this on my end or via the website? (Yes, I can turn my volume down or click down to pause them when they startup, looking for a more permanent manageable solution).

If you hit the mute button on one ad it should disable the audio from that point on future ads. I haven't had any ad audio since I did that when we first started using ads. Which ad in particular was it? I can block individual ads.

The Delsym Cough/Finish dishwasher ads I tried muting but when I go to a new page they come back unmuted.

Thanks!

I know what ads you mean. I can't find them where I can review ads. Finish should be removed. I blocked general url's for Delsym and Mucinex. Hopefully that works.
 
To me, the multi-quoting is whack. Any way we can tweak this. So, in my experience, I found it convenient to read through a thread...as I am reading, I click on the multi-quote button on people that I want to quote. Once I get to the end of the thread, I may have selected say 5 posts to multi-quote. When I then hit REPLY, all 5 of those posts are quoted and I can respond to them.

The way it is done here seems weird. It's like I have to hit reply to get a quote. Then go back some how to where I left off, hit reply again, and it adds to my quote, then go back again and hit reply.

Unless I am doing it wrong, I wouldn't mind see the addition of a multi-quote button.

It will be improved upon.

Plain, I wanted to mention something that I like about the forum. I like that the forum doesn't mark itself as read when I exit the website, or after X minutes. Sometimes I can't get to every post when I get in here, and when I come back even the next day, it remembers what I haven't read yet. That has always been an issue for me at TXB and every other forum that I visit.

Just wanted to give you some compliments instead of complaints!
