Mobile app and Fairy advert

Is this the new advertising deal on the mobile app? A fairy advert at the end of each post. I am finding it intensely irritating sand keep clicking on it by mistake trying to refresh the thread.

It's putting me off both Fairy ( my usual washing powder ) and MN.

The person the baby is lying on looks like they're made of dough. It's bothering me.

Ive clicked on it a few times - very annoying.

I thought the woman was a mannequin.

I didn't even notice the woman! She looks like the pilsbury dough boy!
Glad it's not just me! Grin

I have been wondering about this today,it's so annoying!

Also,threads about babies in headbands tend to descend into chaos , seems that baby eye masks are the way forward.Wink

Hey guys, thanks for pointing out the typo, sorry about that Blush

We've fixed it and have begun the release process, so it should hopefully be on the App Store in a few days - hang in there!

Tim, what does that mean ?

Footle the release process is where Apple have to approve the app, every time we make some changes to it.

So even when the changes are really minor, it always takes a few days before it will be approved, then update on your phone. Does that make more sense?

Ehh why does this thread need to be hidden? Are Persil cross because we don't like their doughy mannequin?

I'm guessing that MNHQ are trialling new advertising on the app to see what proves acceptable - to all parties - and what doesn't.

Sorry guys, nothing that flammatory - the post just repeated itself, so it was deleted. In reflection, it now looks far more suspicious...

Thanks for replying, Tim. So the mobile app will or won't be treating us to the space-baby and similar ads ?
