My students are permitted to search DaniWeb for answers concerning web design.
The classroom erupted this week, because there is a stupid ad from SitePal that makes the computers talk.
Must ad companies become more and more annoying???
They are NOT going to sell their product by making people mad. And I wish there was a permanent way to block that particular kind of content.
Why can't you control the content?

I agree. Ads have no business using my stereo system unless I explicitly permit them to do so.

Agree 100%. Perhaps Dani can look into this as she aggressively filters the allowed advertisements on Daniweb. There's no point in making Daniweb's members angry with ads; that defeats the purpose.
I'm here to prove you wrong.

Pages that have some form of default audio to me fall in the NSFW category. So chalk me up in the "no audio ads" camp.

Yeah i used to go a flash game site but then they got ads that just constantly talked. And it was annoying to turn off my whole sound just to play something. So eventually i just stopped going there. Im pretty against anything i dont like having access to my speakers

Although not a solution for Daniweb, there's a program called Flashmute that works quite well. It will filter all sounds from the internet while allowing local sounds to the speaker.
This program works everywhere. Now as I surf, I don't get talking ads, background music, and automatic videos interrupting the audio from my stereo, TV, or discussions with my wife I'm half-listening to.

Firefox +
Adblock+ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
If you want to allow ads on your favourite site, then you can do this, otherwise, they're history.
Noscript https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
If you absolutely must run javascript on a trusted website to get anything done, then you can enable it for that site. Otherwise, no thanks.
Flashblock https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433
If you must see what that flash animation is, then just press the "play" icon placeholder. If you really like the site, then you can enable flash for the whole site.
Otherwise, a life free of visual and audio distractions awaits you.

This is NOT solved. I can't install ANYTHING on the school computers. They make a master load for each semester.
I also can't turn off the sound, because the lesson tutorials use it.
This must be done at the website end.
