Recent advertising on Minti

Comment Published at 04:2304:237 comments7 comments90 Visits90 VisitsReport

 Hi everyone,

We have listened to your feedback about our recently introduced advertising banners that include a "scroll-down with sound option".

Unfortunately the "option" does not always work the way it should and for regular users of the site the sounds and interruptions were becoming a bit much.

Advertising is important to ensure we can keep this wonderful website free for all members.

Having said this, we also value our very regular members and would not want any of you annoyed by any of our advertising

..... so we have taken the unusual step of removing the display  of the "interactive" banner advertising for all members who are logged in to the site.

This should dramatically reduce the issues with sound/scroll down on adverts if you keep your "remember me" box checked for returning visits.

Thanks for the feedback and apologies for those who suffered during the time the ads were live, its going to cost us some money but it is well worth it in my humble opinion.

all the best

Matt

PS  we have recently agreed a co-operative deal with DVD Rental delivery business Quickflix which includes a 1 month free trial, do consider it as I have found the service to be excellent in my household

Logged in again and it is still scrolling down stopping things from happening.  It totally has a mind of it's own and thinks the green and orange bar up top is it's domaine too!

I'm sorry it cost some income.  If there was a way of fixing it for good, then it wouldn't have been such a problem.

Will have to check out this Quickflix thing, might be a good thing in our household

I only got annoyed if my sound was on, which it is usually on mute.  But scared the crap outta me if it was on!  I know a few members who had site usage issues with the banner.  They will be thrilled (Winja for one).  Thanks guys, and I love Quickflix too!  What an awesome deal.

I so wish it wasnt a problem. I did find that you can turn the sound down via your main sound settings for minti (which in the end my hubby showed me to do) it is sad that you have to lose funding due to it, but it was very annoying. specially hearing it 100 times a hour. (for a obsessed member. LOL Minti is never off my screen)

I do hope you can find a way around it so you can still make $ to keep this wonderful site. Be lost without it.

It was still playing if minti tabs were sitting in the windows tray!  LOL  I'd be working on emails, and it would just start, even though the internet was completely up!
