Roll over ads with sound

The "roll over "ads that have talking messages and sound are most annoying. So bad, they will cover an area I want to click. Some of them won't close until they have there say.  I was so turned off that I closed the page and left. I hope instructables will see the negative effect these have and put an end to it. Two of them popped up at the "6 cent throwie" and at the "contact us" page. I believe one was titled Hangover Days and some other concerning Microsoft.

Rather than using adblock, the most beneficial way (to the site) of cutting down the ads is to turn pro.

Works for me.

 I really wish they would go away, they ruin the site. But using Adblock prevents the site from getting money. Try only targeting the provider that has those ads to make sure Instructables gets the money it needs to keep itself running.

 I know some of the ads are annoying. When you find one though, go into blockable items and find the source of it. That way instead of blocking all ads you just block the annoying ones. Usually the annoying ones come from the same provider so just one or two blocks should cover it.

"Hangover days" actually was malformed and in its non-expanded state covered some of the top part, including the "Community-forums" part.  All the expanding ads ticked me off so much, I installed adblock plus. 

Sorry ibles, you may need the money, but those ads are annoying.  And it works on Youtube and other sites with ads.
