So, sittin' in the Airport waitin' on a flight back to the 'Hood (across the street from Gibby's office; so, you jus' know I'm gonna stop in and rant in the office!)...

Loggin' into Vital, click on a thread, auto-redirect w/Oakley ad...and...the "Skip" Feature don't want to work...huh?

Yup.

Guess what? That annoys the LS outta me & then some!
(LS can be a nice GM small-block or "living-shit": your call)
Oh, btw, this has happened the entire time that this Oakley ad has been around; &, it "Totally Sucks"!

So, if it's a mandated feature by the advertiser?
Not Smart.
If it's some form of tactic to attain better "hits"?
I ain't havin' it!
If I'm wrong on ALL of the above?
Not "my bad". Nope. Not for a minute.

Internet Ad-Trends: Jus' like Lawyers...per Don Henley & The Eagles (who, btw, are really jus' Don & Glen nowadays, & they're both a coupl'a Douchers...Read Felder's book!)

Note: the above message is said w/ all the love & respect for the Gibby that he KNOWS I have for him and The Vital Network.

But, still...stick to Banners & Sidebars: the redirects make more than a few of us close our "pads" & watch airport tv...even when its on the Golf Channel?!

DOH!

Yup. Golf Channel.

It's that F'd up!

Note: Tell someone at Oakley THEY owe me an apology! Just took a coupl'a friends shopping at their store in Vegas...&...then...this?!

It is slightly insulting... along with commercials that are 3X's louder than the movie you were watching, and various other marketing BS.

Sorry, but it is.

Same here.

Manny, I'm not sure what kind of freaky browser you're running, but we just tried it in two different ones here, and the skip button worked on both, and it only jumps to Oakley if you click the ad. We haven't changed any functionality there.

The skip button works fine for me. Whether it be Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari.

Which he Hates!

So, my bad, sort-of.

I blame Darth Vader (Steve Jobs).
