On iPad running iOS12

Huge advertisements that I’m unable to close meaning I can’t read threads - screenshot attached as an example

Just started on my phone: huge black areas all over the place. Stops me typing words out or seeing posts.
No better on mobile site which is awful at the best of times (sorry but adds in between posts and that huge row of 'buttons' at bottom is not great.)
Getting too much effort to post sometimes as have to jump back and forward to try to beat the adds and black areas.
Please sort it out.

Hi,

Just popping in to say that we're taking a look at the problem. In the meantime, please opt to view the site in the correct format. Viewing the desktop site on a mobile device will cause these issues.

Thanks again for your patience. Flowers

Iphone and ipad , ios13, safari.

Thanks for the updates. Is the ad still causing problems for anyone?

Tulipvase · 24/10/2019 18:58

Issue still happening here too.

spiralflower · 24/10/2019 18:51

Same issue here, I’ve just had one when opening this thread.

motherstongue · 24/10/2019 18:37

Ive had this yesterday and today, only just happened again in the last few minutes.

Also get the constant reloading problem on my various iPads.

Eyeslikethesea · 24/10/2019 18:36

Trying to read any thread landscape style is impossible on my iPad.
I can scroll past portrait style but I can barely read it because my eyesight is shit!

Gonegrey31 · 24/10/2019 18:36

I’ve still got it on safari and using iPad

makingmiracles · 24/10/2019 18:33

Still here too, Safari on iPad. Giving me the rage quite frankly.

Surely whoever the ad is from Is not paying enough to basically block users from the site?!? Can’t mnhq block the advertiser or give back the money from running the ad and tell the company it’s not working out!?

It’s ridiculous.

WhenDoISleep · 24/10/2019 18:28

This has just started for me & on iPad using Safari. Same Very ad.

MillicentMartha · 24/10/2019 15:15

Has calmed down here, thank goodness. Will keep you posted.

Chichichacha · 24/10/2019 13:50

Typing this on my phone because your responses are impossible to read on my ipad. It’s still happening.

JLbaby · 24/10/2019 13:50

yes still getting it.

JemilyJ · 24/10/2019 13:48

I’m still getting it too. Have you considered, maybe, not have adverts that constantly piss off your users?

Srictlybakeoff · 24/10/2019 13:46

So annoying

It’s only just started for me. I was on all day yesterday with no problems.

MillicentMartha · 24/10/2019 13:26

Ironic.

Srictlybakeoff · 24/10/2019 13:24

It’s worse than ever for me at the moment. It has taken me 5 tries to be able to post this message as the advert pops up continually.

MillicentMartha · 24/10/2019 13:24

Still getting it.

Hi,

Just dropping in to update you on this issue. We've now blocked the ad in question, so all should be well.

If you still have any issues, please let us know.

Thanks again for your patience. Flowers
