Anyone else plagued with auto start vids and sound here on Slotblog? It's driving me crazy! Not to mention when I try to refresh, it throws me into FB games windows? Just me or others?...
Anyone else?

Are you using a laptop? If so, go with a separate mouse. The built-in pad is very sensitive and results in inadvertent hits.

I have the same problem only on this website. I can't figure it out either.

Rick and I have discussed this via PM.
It happens to me as well, but only very intermittently. I'll go a week or two with no occurence than it will happen several times in a day.
For me, it only seems to occur when I'm on the home page and never when, for example, I am on the "View New Topics" search results page or within a forum or a thread.
I am wondering if there's not a setting for auto-play in your browser that can be disabled...

It is now so bad, that all 3 videos will start to play on their own, over and over again, and I now must close out SB a lot. I used to leave it on always......

Why don't you just turn your sound all the way down, Rick?
I've not had an ad video auto-play in a couple of weeks. Don't have a clue why you're bedeviled by this and almost no else reports having the same issue...
Tell me what browser (Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and what OS (Windows XP, 7, Vista, etc) you're using please.

Maybe they figure he's an easy mark. I never get them on this site.

I've never had one either. If the videos are in the three spots at the top of the page, then they are obviously advertising related. The ads you see are based a lot on searches you perform in Google, and possibly other search engines, so I would expect that Rick may search for something that most others aren't? I know if I search for a motel for a race, for a week or so, I'll see hotel ads when I come here. Search for cleaner for my ultrasonic cleaner, and I'll get ads for ultrasonics. 
What is the content of the ads, Rick? Are they of the same content type, or even the same ad?
Turning the volume down, as someone already suggested, is an option. Those ads are probably "Flash" based, so there may be an option available within the flash plug-in as well...

Yes, I get the same thing, I booked Red Roof last weekend then Red Roof ads come in. I have been trying to check global settings on Flash Player as I suspect that is the culprit. So far now luck.
It's on my desktop, not my laptop. I have never searched Jimmy Dean and that sucker will take two windows and play and replay. LOL. I use Chrome and Win7...

It's a Jimmy Dean sausage ad? Man, that could get annoying! Are they actual pop-up windows, or are they embedded in the page, like the ads at the top of the page?
