Me too - really bloody annoying. Same here, makes me less likely to use a company as they are so intrusive.

How do you get rid of them?

LittlePickleHead · 20/11/2016 23:18

Yes I just came on here to post the same thing! Blimmin huge giff gaff adverts that I can't get rid of and that cover the top half of the phone screen so I can even navigate off the page.

Please get them to stop!

rollonthesummer · 20/11/2016 23:17

Yep-huge Giff Gaff adverts whenever I come on.

It makes me a) not want to use Mumsnet and b) cancel my kids' Giff Gaff contracts.

Kind of counter-productive really!

SuckingEggs · 20/11/2016 23:14

Yes! Sort this out. Fucking horrible ads. It'll put me off MN completely if you don't sort this out.

Tigerstar123 · 20/11/2016 23:13

The irony that this popped up (again) while I'm looking at this thread...

I've had the gif gaf pop up as well on Android. Makes it totally unusable.. agr!

throwingpebbles · 20/11/2016 23:12

Same!! It's driving me totally bonkers!! Can't read active convos at all it's basically covered by a huge ad that I can't get rid of Angry

Toolateagain · 20/11/2016 23:10

I had one earlier, when I tried to shut it it demanded to know why I didn't want to see it. When I told it, it kindly said it wouldn't show it to me again. Didn't flippin well remove it though Angry

TwentyCups · 20/11/2016 23:10

Same here!

This needs fixing; what if a giant ad is blocking some of my fabulous advice or ponderings?

RumAppleGinger · 20/11/2016 23:09

Me too. No can't just close the gift gaff one either, have to reload the page. It's very annoying.

Oh yes.

FFS! Sort it out.

I've had this the past two days with half the scree taken up. Even when I've filled in the survey to tell them to guck off that I'm not interested, they're still there.

😡😡😡😡😡

Ad blocker is not stopping them on my iPhone 6s

AddToBasket · 20/11/2016 23:01

Me too. Had to move to my iPad to read it.

I agree. Piss off with the huge drop down adds that cover the page. In the history of advertising I can't believe that an intrusive drop down add stopping you from reading has ever persuaded anyone to buy that product.

Monstamio · 20/11/2016 21:46

Yes! That damn giff gaff one which you can't get rid of. Massively annoying.

NewIdeasToday · 20/11/2016 21:44

It's awful this weekend. Complete pain. Impossible to view the site.

Namechanger2015 · 20/11/2016 21:39

*Today 20:57 AnchorDownDeepBreath

Snap. On mobile site/iPhone. I hadn't had any problem ads before this weekend but now there always seems to be a huge one getting in the way and the site is almost unusable.*

Same for me, I'm using an iPhone 6S and I've not had any problems until this weekend when I am not getting massive giffgaff adverts popping up. It takes up around a third of the screen and it's reaaallly annoying. It makes the site unusable.

MonkeyPoozzled76 · 20/11/2016 21:31

Yep. Same here on Andriod. Most annoying!

I can't have any more apps on my phone, I only have a few and I'm nearly out of space and I don't want to delete Period Tracker or BBC Weather
