Pprune screams at me again
 

When I get to the website, I get that strangulated scream. It started happening some months ago, then someone killed it. Now it's back again.

Can I stop it on my machine, or do the Pprune administartors have to do it - or is it unstoppable for some reason?

Me too. It happens once only and on all three of the PCs I use to access PPRuNe. Mildy annoying as it's only once and I haven't bothered to complain. I should have done, I suppose.

Et moi aussi. Hasn't done it for a while though. Must have died.

Did it again to me this evening. Scared the life out of me!:eek:

Yeah - Poxy advert again.. Also getting fed up with Yellow!

I thought we were going to be able to control colour scheme on this new software.. would please me.

Happened to me last night - which advert is it ???

It's the blasted MSN advert.

To the Moderators,

Can't we get rid of these noises- permanently? How have they come about- we want a silent Pprune- Pleeese!

Couldn't agree more. The scream is rather upsetting and reminds me of some things I do not really wish to remember.

How can it be removed, other than switching off the speakers? It does not manifest itself every time I log onto PPrune and has happened about five times this last week.

If it is an advert, would somebody kindly take steps to get shot of it, - please.

Don't forget to send an email to MSN explaining how their intrusive ad has been instrumental in your decision to not use, or recommend, any MSN product...

Very irritating
 

Please stop it.

Is it really from the MSN advert? Their marketing people must be real waaankers if they think it could be anything other than incredibly furking irritating :mad:.

That damn thing has just caused me most immense embarrassment! Mrs G was sat next to me using the phone on my deck for an EXTREMELY important and sensitive phone call when I logged onto PPRuNe. . . . . . the rest, you can imagine. . . . . :mad: :o :mad: :o

Please, PLEASE, PLEASE, moderators can we lose this ad or at least silence the wretched thing once and for all?

I know it's not really a proper solution, and in an ideal world advertisers wouldn't stoop to such tactics, but why not just turn your speakers off?

I don't even bother to switch my speakers on unless I specifically want to listen to some media clip or other - the rest of the time, I'm listening to music (from a proper stereo, obviously) and don't want annoying beeps and twangs every time a dialog box pops up. Try it for a while - you'll probably find you don't miss the sound at all.

"Multimedia" - pah! Who needs it?

:)

cbl.

CB,

I know what you're saying, but having recently invested in a rather sexy pair of Bose Multimedia Speakers, I quite like listening to music whilst PPRuNing. The gentle 'bings and bongs of windows', I can cope with (and are strangely comforting in an odd sort of way - God, I need help!!! :D ;) :D ;) ), but the screams are another matter entirely. . . . . Besides, turning off the speakers seems, to me, a bit like changing your car 'cos the ashtray is full up :confused: :( :confused: :(

Surely the Boss or the web managers get to view the content of an ad before it placed?

I m sure Danny must have made 'our' feelings know to them so how do they get through the 'net'?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get rid of it ASAP. :mad:

A similar thread is going on over in Jet Blast which includes a response from Danny. See Fecking sounds are back
