Ok getting really cross now. There's a giant pop up ad (world at home) which appears on the mobile site covering the whole bloody page. No amount of reporting it as too big/irrelevant works. It comes up frequently and I can't get rid unless I go back. But it means I can't read a particular page of threads. which ruins my MNing
There may even be a thread on this called pop ups. However the giant ad appeared so I couldn't read it to check Hmm

I'm Android mobile using the phone's native browser but as a poster using iPhone and Safari got the giffgaff adverts too the usual excuse that "it's an Android problem" doesn't apply.

ShoeJunkie · 19/11/2016 13:05

Yep, Giff gaff here too

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 19/11/2016 13:02

I had several huge giffgaff adverts covering half the page.

I just had one from New Look, reported to google as covering content.

Just to make you aware MNHQ, Google will be down ranking pages that do this...

It's been happening since last night! Very irritating. The only way I can get rid of them is to refresh the page (I know, great hardship).
