Default Ads?

Is anyone else annoyed by these new video ads? CF is a great resource and I have enjoyed being a part of it for the past couple of years but these seem a bit excessive. Would it be possible reduce the occurrence of them? I have been getting them for every page that I load, could it be reduced to maybe every 3-5 pages?

I do most of my browsing through my iPhone, so you may not get them if you are on a PC. The most recent one was a McDonalds ad with DJ Khaled, they are put up by some ad company, but I forget the name.

It's hard to see but I think it starts with a V. Votopia maybe?

I believe it's Vdopia.

At this time, I don't have an official answer but it's being discussed.

Somehow I apparently didn't send the rant I wrote earlier tonight. Probably a good thing. These oversize Vdiopa ads are the most intrusive, irritating thing I have seen on any website. Plus, this company has been emailing ads to one of my accounts.

This may help: I found that popups were not being blocked on the iPad as they are on the iPhone and PC. Turning on blocking apparently has stopped the blasted things.

All sites should realize that users will only tolerate so much.
