MASSIVE ADS halfway down the thread page

"Not hitting the spot"
Really?
Could you be any more twee and patronising?

The ones at the end are fine, it's the ad placed immediately after the OP which is the main problem (and you've just changed it, so can't you roll it back?)

The large animated ads are killing my data and are incredibly distracting. Some are really badly placed immediately after a sensitive OP as well.

My Disney ads have multiplied there are 10!!!! Now at the end of some threads. If they keep increasing at this rate I'll never be able to reach the comment box

Really shit, makes the threads pretty much unreadable
But am in no doubt that MNHQ don't give a Shit as it's all about clicks and income and nowt to do with user experience

Ads are still there so I'm installing an adblocker.

Anyone who suggests the Mumsnet app- it's really shit and doesn't work properly for me so I won't be switching.

Barnabyboy I’ve already said on this thread that I would rather pay for an ad free mumsnet.
I think we all know why there are ads, and we will still see them if they are at the top or bottom, but we will see them and hate them if they are in the middle, and take steps to get rid. Has it really helped mumsnet that several people on the thread have now installed adblockers?

Change to the Mumsnet app then you won't get that.

You do, except it's large ads mid thread for the mumsnet podcast rather than spammy things based on your cookies and browsing.

It's more difficult to differentiate between op posts, your own, and the others on the app because it's just the username that's a different colour. Also, the red they use for your posts and the purple for everyone else's are similar enough for it to take me a little while to realise.

Also doesn't automatically jump to the last thread I bookmarked which is incredibly inconvenient, especially on long threads, and defeats the point of bookmarking.

The app is crap. Which is why I use mobile Web for mumsnet. And now they've made that crap too.

Change to the Mumsnet app then you won't get that.

I came on to say the ads mid thread aren't loading for me (not all bad then) but they are blocking posts from site users. On a thread I've just been on, I can't see the OP's update as there's a big white square over it, with a band of green peeking out top and bottom so I know there should be a post there.

It doesn’t bother me. You’d all be complaining if they got rid and turned it subscription only. Any sort of change to this site and everyone is up in arms. Even the dots being on the left instead of the right started a complaining thread. Really? This site needs a massive overhaul and they can’t do it because it would be one moaning thread after the other

They're still there...
Very off-putting indeed.

Mumsnet please get rid of the ads after the OP.

They're so annoying - I just click on the X to close without noticing what is being advertised. Are the impressions more important than the engagement?

Please could you just stop having the ads interrupting the thread? It’s really confusing and intrusive and I’m still not getting used to it.

Is anyone else getting the Disney ads I get two after the first post and 4! At the end

I'm now using the Brave browser for Android, which has an inbuilt ad blocker - I can recommend it.

I downloaded the adblocker as suggested by PP but it’s killing my phone battery so I have deleted it.

Still ongoing and so frustrating

Adblock Plus.

@JanineMumsnet - thanks for your reply.
However, the ads did not used to be this big (at least I didn’t recall them being so) and why are they eating data? I assume because they’re not your bog standard banner ad, but are interactive.
Either way, they’re hugely annoying.

Mine is Adblock X - that’s for iPhone though.

Thanks Formerly

I just used the first one that came up on the Google play store.

Which ad blocker are you all using?

My ad blocker is working beautifully so far
