What's with the milk advert that squishes everything to one side?

Hey MNHQ have you thought about introducing a paid for ads free version for thems that want it?

Do we get gin if we do, please, KatherineMumsnet?

Sorry that's far too much hassle. If you want that level of involvement you're going to need to put me on the payroll.

Sorry but I think it's really shit that whenever something like this happens, it somehow always falls to us to sort it in the end.

Really, how hard is it to just leave things as they are. We don't want big fancy new adverts of ANY kind. Just stop fiddling!

Me too. And as well as taking up a big hunk of my mobile screen it had the audacity to take up the WHOLE screen ON MY TV. Which I think takes the piss a bit!

"it's not actually taking up more screen space"

Umm... It really is. That's about a quarter of my screen.

This comes up multiple times for me and I've not cleared anything. It is supremely annoying and also horribly sexist.

Most irritatingly itinterrupts any media I am streaming via Apple TV. On Monday night I was watching James & The Giant Peach with DD, streamed from Amazon on my phone to the TV while I idly browsed Mumsnet. Suddenly the bastard A2 milk ad appeared and obliterated my screen which was annoying but then it also stopped the film and replaced it with a large pair of knickers!!

Please get rid of this. I hate it and turn MN off when it happens.

I don't see this at all on my phone. Is it cos I use the MN app rather than the mobile site?

I think if you compare bounce rate to incidences of the ad occurring you probably have your answer already! Please ditch this format -
It's a pain in the arse!

If your after our opinions, as an advertising strategy it doesn't work for me. It may technically not take up more space, but the talk board looks smaller. I close MN down and reopen it. Presumed it was a glitch. Only realized it was A2 milk when the thread started.

I have visual vertigo, this style of ad would completely prevent me from using MN as it sends my symptoms through the roof!

It also blocks my view of the side bar which indicates how much of the thread I have got left.

I would love to know how to stop all the ads flashing (but so that I can still see videos), purely due to the MN illness inducing ads!

I exclusively use my phone for mn. That format of advert makes the site almost unreadable. At least I have only had it once today.

I wonder how many users access mn usin mobile devices. I only ever use my phone or very occasionally my tavlet and advertising is infinitely more intrusive on these devices than on a computer. This is a really shitty way of advertising. At least with pop ups you an usually close them down. I had to click off the page to get rid of the milk advert.

So if people happen to have cleared their browser they should have to put up with seeing this thing more than once a day?

It's really crappy HQ

Definitely twice today. I actually stopped reading the thread because it took up so much space. And no, I haven't cleared my browser, haven't switched my phone off. I MAY have been browsing under one of the many already open mnet tabs in Internet on my Galaxy s7, but same device, same user name. If this is the future of the site then I won't be around long. I could cope if there was an X to shut the side bar....

I can barely read the mobile site with this ad. It's an absolute PITA

I just can't understand why MN and her advertisers want to piss off their users/potential customers.

Even once per day is intrusive and actively puts me off buying that milk. There are too many advert issues at the moment.

Katherine, do A2 seriously want their brand associated with the thoughts "Couldn't get rid of the fucker", "pain in the arse", "aargh, it's back" and "bloody milk"?
