I apologize in advance if this has been said before (which it probably has; however I was unable to search it up).
At the bottom of the Minecraft Forum webpages (and the MC Wiki too, for that matter) there is often a video advertisement at the right bottom corner, as seen in the pic below(its circled in red).
This occurs both on my netbook and my fast PC, both using Firefox and Windows 8. The main problem is that sound sometimes comes out from these videos, and when it does its very glitchy, as if trying to decide whether to be muted or not. Often the only way to turn it off (without turning it off from the Windows mixer, since that mutes everything on the browser including Youtube videos) is to click on it, causing a new tab to pop up and pausing the video. (The playback bars that sometimes pop up often have no effect.)
The other issue is that whenever one of these videos finishes, it reloads that part of the page, which could slow down performance on the computer and maybe the MCF server. (I'm not an expert on that so don't take my word for it)
Since this occurs on both the Forums and the wiki I'm not sure if you could do anything about it, however I wanted to see if this is a common issue or if only I'm experiencing it.
Video ads aren't supposed to be shown, this is the fault of the ad service. Please PM citricsquid of the details of the ad, such as position, URL, and anything else you would think relevant. It'll then be removed.
