It's a runway model walking the runway, but no idea what the ad is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-ad-hijacking-my-browser/page/2#post-2221710 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 13:10:15 +0000 MamaG 2221710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been having the issue as well. Today I watched it - it was for Children's Health (red balloon) and is associated with the Children's Hospital in the Dallas area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-ad-hijacking-my-browser/page/2#post-2220139 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 19:13:05 +0000 BSB 2220139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: thanks for the update. </p> <p>Though, I've been seeing that same ad almost everytime I go into a thread today. It's been particularly bad today for me. Like in the past hour.</p> <p>It was while I was at work but I left work so hopefully I won't see that ad again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-ad-hijacking-my-browser#post-2220093 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 18:03:56 +0000 mrbee 2220093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been in regular contact with our ad provider, and have been sending them regular screenshots with detailed reports of the issues. They've acknowledged the issue, and have their malvertising team working on it! Will report back when we know more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-ad-hijacking-my-browser#post-2220079 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 17:26:45 +0000 mauxie 2220079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This has been happening to me regularly.

There was a logo in the bottom right corner of the ad and I was waiting for them to show the logo at the end. (They didn't.) </p> <p>I know the one I saw was filmed in black and white and it was some sort PSA about drugs &amp; addiction. I should have taken a screen shot of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-ad-hijacking-my-browser#post-2210986 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 10:10:35 +0000 LuLu Mom 2210986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been doing it to me yesterday and today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-ad-hijacking-my-browser#post-2210984 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 10:09:10 +0000 BSB 2210984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Did it again just now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-ad-hijacking-my-browser#post-2210447 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 17:37:16 +0000 BSB 2210447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had my first video ad that wouldn't let me scroll up. I can't remember what it was advertising but it was a black and white video ad. I had to click on the ad to get it to stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-ad-hijacking-my-browser#post-2206938 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 13:56:44 +0000 catlady 2206938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happening to me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-ad-hijacking-my-browser#post-2206901 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 13:13:29 +0000 petunia354 2206901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: Same!

Only on my laptop and always the Maytag ad. It's super annoying because it ends up freezing my browser. Only happens on HB. It's when the video ads starting; the site runs super slow when I'm on my laptop because video ads don't run on my phone </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-ad-hijacking-my-browser#post-2206824 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 12:34:35 +0000 rachiecakes 2206824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>happening to me today :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-ad-hijacking-my-browser#post-2206809 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 12:25:41 +0000 Crisark 2206809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started happening to me as well.

It will all of a sudden pull me to the add, but it's letting me scroll away from it without having to wait until the add is over. In fact, it just happened again while I was trying to type this. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-ad-hijacking-my-browser#post-2204790 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 06:58:54 +0000 MrsADS 2204790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just letting you know it's happening to me this morning - 2 of the ads on the home page and then also when I open a thread to read it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-ad-hijacking-my-browser#post-2203036 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 12:39:52 +0000 mrbee 2203036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @kiddosc: Thanks for letting me know!!</p> <p>It might take a day or so for the new settings to percolate through their system. I'll keep researching things though, just in case there are other settings we can turn off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-ad-hijacking-my-browser#post-2203015 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 12:12:25 +0000 kiddosc 2203015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This just happened to me twice while I was trying to read Mrs. Lion's blog post. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-ad-hijacking-my-browser#post-2203004 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 11:56:10 +0000 Smurfette 2203004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just happened to me again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-ad-hijacking-my-browser#post-2202828 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 09:41:40 +0000 mrbee 2202828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finally found a setting that I could turn off... they added it last year and had it on by default!</p> <p>Hopefully this addresses the issue... will keep an eye out.
