Please remove sounding banners
They are really annoying (at least for me).
It's ok to have banners and I understand the reason. But every time you just pass over one of them with the mouse they make some strange sound, I
think it's annoying... |

Sometimes on the main postcrossing page when I request an address one comes up that says "You have won". I'll check the URL next time I encounter
it.

I think it's just the google ad banners on rotation?? The sounding ones are just added by the ad sponsor. |

Yes some of the google banners... I'm not sure how to link a banner, but one has to do with mobile phones, and the other is a scary laugh...
And it's in the forum, not on the official site (at least I never seen on the official site) |

Hover your mouse over the advert. Right mouse click and a new menu box appears. Select 'copy link location' and that will put the banner advert link
into your coputers memory.
Come back here and paste (ctrl V if on a PC, sorry I don't know the shortcut for a Mac) from your computer memory the link in a message here so I can
see which adverts are causing the problem.

Unfortunately it is a Flash ad, so the right mouse click has a different effect, giving several options for Adobe Flash Player, but not the option for
copying the link location.
This is the site where it goes, though, when I click on the ad: http://my.internetgiftpromotions.com/SplashPage.aspx?g=acdf0eb2a22a...
It's a banner that I got on the right hand side of the screen on the screen to register a postcard. The banner flashes and a voice says
"Congratulations, you have won."
