Hi.

I visit this site every day, and i know adverts are a necessity on sites like this, but the Daily-Spots video advert that plays randomly when you reload the front page is extremely annoying. It's been there for a week or so. It plays annoying music at a very loud volume automatically when you load the front page. When i'm listening to my own music at a decent level and scanning the forum, it deafens me. Fair enough if the movie plays, but could the sound at least be muted by default like most video ads? Or at least turned down. It's made worse by the fact that the ad randomly moves, so you have to find it to turn off that annoying music.

Don't wish to moan :) Like i said i appreciate ads need to be around, its just this particular one.
