I currently have 3 VGChartz tabs open and all 3 have auto-play adverts. Someone trying to sell me lube, someone advertising Natalie Portman and I can't even tell what the other one is saying.

Either they stop or I start blocking adverts.

That is all.

Yeah... its not so bad on many sites where its rare or only the first time you access a page... i.e. once during your entire stay.

However, it seems VGC has it set to happen quite often and many times on any openings of certain pages. Then it becomes a nuisance and annoying.

btw, love your sig lol.

Auto play as in the adverts that play a video with audio when you go onto a link?

If so, I hate those too, ruins whatever music I'm listening too. Haven't seen any on VGC though.
