Mumsnet Talk

It is making the page just leeettle slower to load, and then it does an annoying skip IYKWIM.
Is it here to stay? <<asks politely>>
Please say it is not so. It is annoying and brings the general tone of the site down <<hoiks>>
Get rid.
Henceforth.
Please.
Gin may be forthcoming... <<weedles>>

Here here

Pissing me off too

Seconded. It just makes me think of that really annoying sushi eating woman tv ad, which in turn makes me quite ragey.

Oops, third-ed!

four-ded

PITA

Fifth-ed

Yeah, I get it too - though not on all threads. Annoys the hell out of me.

Fifth-ed

Damn. Sixth-ed!

Me too. At least make it Adblockable. Please.

Agree.

Oh good, I am not alone .

Yy the annoying sushi ad is enough to not want to be reminded of the existance of such a... err, service? <cat's bum>

It's being tried out in Chat only.

Zombie isn't a fan either, but she does appreciate that MN need to explore income generating opportunities.

Yes, I understand that too, Zombie. At least you could go and sell bodyparts or something and not slow my page-loading down though, couldn't you? .
Thank goodness it is 'only' in Chat although they could have tried it in ettiquette or somewhere more godforsaken. So far... <<mutters darkly>>

I don't like it either, but I am an old stick in the mud.

Has anyone ever clicked it? What happens?

Whatever number we're up to'ed.

I didn't install firefox, then adblock plus to get an annoying button that messes with my screen. I know MN isn't a charity, and that my adblock is probably harming a website I love, but this is mumsnet and I reserve the right to be spiky and unreasonable.

Zombie loses enough body parts as it is, Pacific. She's not sure she has any spare to sell.

I don't even notice it any more, I've never clicked though as the TV ad is annoying enough.
If it brings in revenue for MN then I don't have a problem, it has to be funded somehow.

Thanks, HelenMN. I fully support the need to sustain the site and if the technical side of things can be improved, then I'd go with anything to give me my MN fix.

<<hands Zombie a spare arm she has lying about in case it might come in handy>>
<<see what she did there >>

Annoying me too and making my loading slow.
Then JUMPY!

Irritating me to a high level too. I even clicked on it and joined to show my support thinking it may go away if I did that, no chance. Agree to making it ad-blockable. I don't have any of the annoying adverts on here or any other sites.

I was just coming to complain about this. Makes the whole page jump as it loads the graphic. So very annoying!

I don't see an ad, but then alongside AdBlock Plus I have FlashBlock and NoScript which might be hiding it. And Ghostery to block tracking cookies.
