I struggle to get beyond first page (sometimes even first post) before the add at the top flickers and my page is frozen / black.

Android phone FWIW.

Hi all,

Can we have some screenshots of the adverts that are causing issues, along with the usual device and browser?

Yes please stop with the William Hill ads. Firstly they’re massive and take up huge chunks of thread space and secondly, no matter how much they are paying you, you are being irresponsible advertising gambling. Please stop.

I’m struggling with the William Hill ads. They’re currently making it impossible to get to the comment box on some threads as the screen just will not stop jumping.

I’m having jumpy screens too - very irritating

I now use an ad blocker for Mumsnet.

Why does the William Hill Ad need to have four blocks and flash? It is, as PPs said, making the threads it intrudes on unreadable.

I am also having problems on every thread with William Hill adverts making the page jump down.
I’m on iPhone using safari version 12.4.1

I am on IOS and the william hill advert is making the screen jump up and down two or three times during the course of reading a page. Not a pleasant experience

That’s without going into the morals of having gambling adverts at all, or worse, ones that can be clicked on accidentally as they are taking up so much screen
