Annoying gap/Wowcher

83 replies

TiggyD · 04/02/2013 06:48

On some threads I get a huuuuuuge gap between the thread title and the first post. There is also a one line advert for wowcher just above the first post. Is it just an annoying ad not working or my problem?

No problem! Honestly, couldn't recommend AdBlock enough, absolutely changed my experience of the internet completely for the better, haha! Never realised quite how annoying adverts were before. And it blocks popups too

Me also.

Did an extensive test and found it only did it on "chat" threads for me.

(thanks RedJeans. And everybodysang, who psychically answered question before I'd even posed it!)

twolittlemonkeys · 04/02/2013 09:36

Yep what's that about? It's been bugging me today! (I'm on a laptop, using Opera) The ads down the side are bad enough, but big ads under the thread title might be enough to push me over the edge today

RedJeans · 04/02/2013 09:33

Yep, I've got chrome on a mac

Trills · 04/02/2013 09:33

It might relate to the length of the thread title...

HazeltheMcWitch · 04/02/2013 09:32

It's also messing up bookmarks - you go to your spot, then it suddenly lurches when the gap appears. Grrr.

Re chrome - is it ok on a mac?

Artemis206 · 04/02/2013 09:31

Same here, it's happening mainly on chat threads and I'm on an iPad.

everybodysang · 04/02/2013 09:30

I do too on Chrome on a mac, it's so annoying.

RedJeans · 04/02/2013 09:29

Get google chrome and then the app called AdBlocker!! Gets rid of all advertising on websites, its amazing! I dont have any ads on the side or top of the display anymore

Allice · 04/02/2013 09:28

Me too, on Google Chrome, thought that Mumsnet was broke and panicked that I'd have to do housework!

HeathRobinson · 04/02/2013 09:26

Yep, me too.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 04/02/2013 09:24

Me too, Mac and Safari. Very annoying.

Trills · 04/02/2013 09:10

Yep.

Chrome, Windows 7 laptop, etc.

Primrose123 · 04/02/2013 08:55

I've just had it too.

ticolac · 04/02/2013 08:53

Me too, on iPad

notsofrownieface · 04/02/2013 08:32

I have this too, very annoying.
