Are they here to stay MNHQ? Because it's really, really, annoying...

I'm talking specifically about the flashing mayor of London cycling one.

Sometimes it's there, sometimes it isn't. Very annoying as makes my font smaller.

Ok this is getting serious! I'm going to have to do some work as I can't MN with that advert everywhere.
It effects the font which makes the page harder to read and adjusting the font doesn't help!

Yes, it is really obtrusive - covers the text on the side and at the bottom, makes it impossible to MN as you can't read the threads.

Is on mobile version only from what I can see (my laptop is fine but it's showing in my ipad).

Phew, I thought for a horrible moment I'd hallucinated it!

It was very very annoying, but seems to have disappeared for now (on iPad).

Thats really annoying! Now the advert has gone but the space where it was is still there, just blank. So my text is still too small.
Change it back purleeeeeeeeease!!

Hello. I think the Tech team are trialling some ads for tablet. I'm not sure how long they'll be up - we'll try to find out.

Thank you Grin

I haven't seen any since I complained earlier if that helps.

Hate it. It's annoying and makes everything else too small. I have ad blockers but it doesn't block these. Have to find something that does or stop using on my tablet. Hate adverts at the best of times but as the site isn't great on tablet anyway this just makes it awful.

Yes, it's bugging me too.

Hate it too, so thought I'd come here to see what's going on.

I'm on my iPad and the ads make the typeface too small to read without expanding.

Please can we return to how it was.

Also hate it!

Hi All,

Could you can send us a screen shot of what you're seeing to the usual contactus address, please?

As HelenMumsnet said, we are trialing some new ads for iPads and the font size looks okay on the ipad I'm looking at but would like to compare it to what you are seeing.

TIA,

ColetteTech

Its gone now, but i'm on my IPad and earlier turned off it was that bad. I thought the IPad had developed a fault.

The font size went really small on my iPad and the ad was very distracting.

The advert has completely disappeared from my ipad now.

It just appeared as I read this thread.

DON'T FUCK WITH MY MUMSNET PAGE.

Ahem.

Sorry about that.

It's exactly the sort of thing that makes people click OFF mumsnet.
