Black areas on mobile

Anyone else get this? If I'm browsing the site on my phone if I've come back to my browser from using another app the thread will be all fuzzy and have random black blocks all through it before I refresh.

Simple fix but still annoying. :s

I've had big white boxes twice, also.

Killybashangel · 07/11/2018 20:20

Ok, so twice today I've had a box at the top that flickers very fast and then turns black for a while. Both times I've clicked on the black box and it's been an advert for O2. So I'll see if i can block 02 next time.

When i open a page i get a white block at the top which then goes. I also get a block at the top which flickers really fast like strobe lighting then turns black, then after a while changes to an ad. Definitely a mumsnet ad problem. I don't get it on any other site. Samsung chrome. Will screenshot when i next get it

I was just coming on to say that Mumsnet freezes and takes ages to load on my iPad (in a way that doesn't happen with any other sites). Beyond crapola really.

My phone doesn’t show ads so works fine. I can’t use the iPad as it just freezes constantly

I've just had white boxes

Still... Christ.

It's happening less, but it's happening. 3 times in the past 24 hours.

This only happens on mumsnet, I've not had it on any other website.
It always starts from the block ad at the top, included in the picture, and then spreads down the page, this is clearly a mumsnet issue with how some of the ads interact with the page

It's still happening to me. I'm also getting continual Mumsnet popups asking me to accept the cookies terms and conditions Confused

Just happened again to me. The boxes actually flickered for a couple of seconds then went black. Duplicated posts too. Android Samsung s8

DeadBod · 31/10/2018 14:33

No black boxes since the 29th.

TallulahBetty
Can you send me a screenshot please of what you see and what page were you on?
What phone and browser are you using?

TallulahBetty · 31/10/2018 14:26

Still happening here. Only on MN and only on my phone.

Lougle · 31/10/2018 11:02

I haven't had it at all since 29/10.

Hi Again,

Just keeping you updated, we have started to eliminate certain partners based on the links and information you have all been sending, as we are unable to replicate this issue can I please request you to let us know if the issue is still persisting or it has gone?
Many Thanks

I've started using an adblocker brower on android after the black boxes made the mobile site unusable this morning. Seems to be working so far.

Topseyt · 31/10/2018 00:45

Sorry. No black boxes on the link. But on the rest of the site (mobile) they are back with a vengeance tonight.

Originallymeonly · 30/10/2018 22:44

On your test thread, no problem. On main mumsnet (and about 1/20 visits to diply) then as per picture attached

That link is fine for me.

Is it something to do with ads. Because a distinct difference between say this page and the one you linked is the linked page ads remain the same (all the ads are for Frankie and bennys) whereas on the rest of the site the ads change. In the time its taken me to write this post the top banner ad has changed 5 times.

Guess it's back to ad blocker for me.

Topseyt · 30/10/2018 18:57

They did seem to almost go. They are now back.
