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

The site is starting to be incredibly intrusive advert wise at the moment. We had the pop ups that covered most of the screen and now we have a purple milk one that takes up the top and the side Shock

Give it time and I won't be able to read a thing on here bar ads!!

What makes A2 milk easy to digest?

Somethings been removed from it I think. Something like that anyway

Claims it's suitable for CMPA babies

Have you googled or mention that on facebook sleep, that's why the ad targets you.

Just had it again. I'm meant to be giving up dairy soon to try and sort out a skin complaint so this is just hardening my resolve 🙄

Just had it again on a telly addicts thread. Very irritating esp as my phone is quite diddy so I only get a few words per line when it's all squashed

Soubriquet · 27/11/2016 11:14

Just got this too

Hi all,

So sorry about this! We're flagging with our ads team and will let you know once we have some more info.

Mumsnet is getting eaten alive by milk adverts....

It's going to become like the free local paper isn't it, a small bit of text in the centre surrounded by almost a page full of ads.

MyCatIsABiggerBastardThanYours · 26/11/2016 22:33

What the bloody hell made MNHQ think it would be a good idea to make the screen even bloody smaller on mobile.

I am hoping it's a mistake.

I am definitely installing ad blocker now.

I had it earlier too Confused I agree with previous poster and avoiding products with annoying ads! That milk has made my list!

elQuintoConyo · 26/11/2016 21:47

I had it earlier, i could barely read nor type. Bloody milk - who do cows think they are?

Install ad blocker. It's free. And you can enjoy MN ad free!

I'm sorry, MNHQ. I know you need to take advertising to generate revenue to keep the site going. But you've really crossed the line recently with intrusive executions.

Costacoffeeplease · 26/11/2016 21:40

I make a point of NOT buying anything from intrusive ads so it's a complete waste of time and money

Uggh! It's super annoying. I know that you have to make your money somewhere, but surely let us read posts without being squashed out by milk

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 26/11/2016 20:38

HQ have said on another thread that that advert is deliberate and meant to be there, though should only appear once a day.

Gah!

I had this earlier, and couldn't get rid of the fucker.

This keeps happening with pop ups too. Not only getting in my nerves, I'm not wanting to come on as they're so fucking annoying Angry
