Queueing ad calls for non-active browser tab

Doesn’t happen in my browsers – Perhaps something you set up or a plugin you use?

Thanks so much for the quick response.

Not resolved, but here’s what I’ve tried:

I disabled every plugin except Adrotate, still no joy.
Loaded adrotate in a different theme and don’t see the broken behavior.
However, I failed to mention that I’m using 2 AdRotate widgets in the sidebar. The first is displaying a single unit, fixed. The second is the dynamic version.
So then I went back to the original site, removed the static AdRotate widget and the bad behavior disappeared.

So it seems to be tied to having 2 adrotate widgets, one dynamic, one static. Could you possibly give that a go and see if the behavior shows up for you.

AdRotate does not actively stop cycles when the tab/window goes out of focus.
And cycles continue just fine on my test sites – supporting this.

If they stop for you, that may be a browser ‘feature’ or a plugin on your site/browser that does this. Such things are beyond my control though.

@thedev, I’ve been trying to solve this one for a client site for months. Seems in my case to be caused by something in my theme. I do have other plugins doing cycling/animation like Revolution Slider which looks like it uses carouFredsel. Were you able to solve this @thedev?

Thanks!

I’ve made some progress toward solving this and thought I’d post to hopefully help others. On my affected sites, Im using Reverie theme, a Foundation framework (Zurb) theme. I tracked this down to some kind of conflict between AdRotate’s javascript that makes the dynamic ad group animate and the core Foundation JS. Im not sure what the actual conflict is, but my bandaid fix was to disable the dynamic mode, set the ad group to a ‘block’ of ads, then create my own ad slideshow with jQuery Cycle2, which I was already using elsewhere on the site. Let me know, Arnan, if you have any insight into this.

Thanks!
