Adverts in mobile site

Just found this thread as the flashing ads are so annoying it's stopping me reading threads. Then I clicked on the sodding thing so I will have skewed their data. Grr!

I'm the same every good. I wonder when someone will get back to us?

Thanks Dawn of would be great to see what they say.

The moving ads are making my eyes go funny again, like how I get just before a migraine attack.

I thought we already hashed this out in the massive new mobile site thread about how bad these are for migraine/epilepsy sufferers?

Can you not fix the add so it Is at the top of the page rather than the screen? That way as you scroll the add disappears off the top of the screen.
I have huge issues with the add being stuck constantly at the top of screen as it causes rapid movement/flickering of my eyes which makes me feel nauseous and gives me a headache. I didn't have this issue when adds were between posts as if it was an annoying one I could scroll it up out of sight.

I understand you need the adds and are trying out new ways of displaying them to please the masses!
I think keeping them at the top but being able to scroll them out of sight shouldn't cause problems for most people as they won't be taking up people's screen size, less likely to be 'accidentally' clicked on lije when between adds(think that was an issue for some before) and won't annoy those like me who find the moving ones hard to deal with.

Any update on this HQ? I am actively avoiding the mobile site now as it's awful. Having to MN on ipad in desktop site as ads giving me a headache.

The top ad covers too much of the first post on the page.

Wow, can't believe this is still being debated! I've just been attacked by about three adverts at the same time (all the same ad) while trying to choose from the talk menu. Highly unpleasant. Why more changes and why's it taking so long to make a decision on this?

Urgh, please get rid of the ads at the top. The ads between posts were unobtrusive (cynical me thinks too unobtrusive perhaps and people not clicking them...) Anyway, the ads at the top take up too much of the screen and make me nauseous.

Bloody hell, big bright ads which change and flash again. Hello headaches!

It's slowing down the mobile site.

This development is awful. Agree with what Tziboleh said.

And could someone please explain why this issue is only inflicted on people on phones? The flickering annoying ads disappear out of view as I scroll on the desktop site . Why is it so important mobile users have them in their face at all times??????

The ads at the top are crap. When you click Threads I'm On the ad covers the top post so you have to scroll down to read it. In these tedious culture of Continuous Improvement, this isn't.

I hate the ads at the top. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate it.

Another problem I have with the ads at the top is, since you changed the text to the on-trend, but spindly pale font I really struggle to read it. So I enlarge it. But this also enlarges the advert, so now I can only get about 3 lines of legible text on my phone screen at a time. Not a problem with the ads in the posts, as just scrolled past them.

I'm getting really irritated every time I use the mobile site, and only spending a very short space of time on it before going to find something more user friendly to read.

Please change it back.

How long will it be before you make a decision which format you are going to stick with?

No OnlyOlivia, I'm in Ireland...

The ps4 ad that has just flashed up had 5/6 different flashing overlays. It slowed the site down and couldn't load active convos and was totally irritating.

Just an example of why they are so intrusive.

The fixed ad at the top is horrid, and draws my eye away from mn when I'm trying to read as they are normally very colourful..
I didn't mind them in the messages, please put them back :(

And why are you advertising in german at me???

Also they generally cause the site to run slower ime, pages slow to load, lots of blue squares, browser closes “unexpectedly“, ad jumps around before settling at the top and generally whole thing is a PITA

Oh my god I cannot BELIEVE you are contemplating fixed ads again. Where the hell is the thread with all the negative feed back on the ads mixed in with the thread?

The fixed ads are hideously nauseating, never seem to load properly so flicker a lot and take up far too much screen on my phone. I have to scroll constantly to read threads which is also nauseating and tbh I can't generally tolerate any of it for long.

I hate them at the top as well and much preferred them in the middle Of posts.

As it is now, I've got ads at the top and bottom of threads and it can take up the whole page.

On active convos, I can see maybe 1.5 post titles with the rest of the screen dominated by ads and then the pop up blue bar at the bottom.

It's so difficult to use the mobile site now as all the content is covered up with with ads and menu buttons.
