    No, I buy the mag, I like paper…
    And I don’t mind advertising, it’s when it makes the site almost unusable that it’s a pita..

    Is there a way to stop the music?

    you probably need to tell them what OS/browser etc you’re using. Looks like a CSS type issue to me.

    [edit] just saw it’s an ipad!

    Still… no better than they deserve 😉

    It’s happening to me in Chrome on an Android tablet.

    Good luck posting that link, ferrit!

    I’ve reported the post, hopefully one of the tech guys will get chance to look at it shortly. Contrary to popular belief, the adverts aren’t intentionally intrusive!

    Probably worth repeating this, too:

    I don’t want to subscribe, I like the freedom to pick and choose,
    And I’m frightened of commitment…

    I have a subscription and I;ve had issues last few days with pop out ads.

    pop out ads.

    that’s more likely to be a browser issue/plug in at your end.

    Khani – I blame the fact that you have the Telegraph in your favourites list.

    I reported annoying ads with music and didn’t get a reply. What was the point of that?

    Doesn’t mean no-one’s looking at it. It’s not always practical to send out individual replies to everyone.

    My understanding is that errant adverts are non-trivial to track down, might take a little while.

    The auto play videos were getting annoying. So I paid up to remove the ads 😉

    Though I’m finding now every session I have to log in again, even though I tick the box to remember me. It used to do that now and again, but now it’s every time. And that’s on Chrome, IE 11 and Metro IE (yeah, yeah, Windows 8 😛 ).

    It’s only £1.49 a month to get rid of the ads.

    I get that, have to log in remarkably often for a system which offers to remember you!

    I find I have to log in again mostly if I switch between computers / phone.

    Clear you cookies out, I get asked to login about once a month.

    re: logging out, I constantly have to re-login. Its remembered me overnight on my Chromebook, but thats rare; on my Android phone, a works Windows 8 laptop, and my old Windows 7 laptop, always having to log back in before it lets me post. Thats with trying various combinations of ‘remember me’ checkbox on singletrack, and remember password option on the browser.
