On iPad running iOS12

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

I use an iPhone when posting. This had started causing me problems:

“From the
Unreasonable
to the WTF”

My email address is being sought. I find thus really annoying to say the least.

Grrrr, it is driving me beeeeenarners!

katewhinesalot · 24/10/2019 10:23

Ridiculous. I can't read the iPad if I have to rotate the screen. My eyes aren't good enough.

Butterisbest · 24/10/2019 09:59

It's still on my iPad and it's really annoying me now

CharlottedeGaulle · 24/10/2019 09:51

Hi, thanks for all your reports on this. We've sent this on to our tech team who are working on a fix. We'll keep you updated. Thanks for your patience. Flowers

Uponreflection · 24/10/2019 08:36

It’s still happening!

Orchardgreen · 24/10/2019 08:28

Soooo annoying.

JLbaby · 24/10/2019 08:01

I’ve had this problem for months now. Previously mn told us to use the desktop site but it made no difference, still loads of pop ups.

Strawberrycreamsundae · 24/10/2019 07:55

Come on MN,what's happening to sort this out?

zen1 · 24/10/2019 07:53

Yes, it’s always the bloody teddy bear. And I still couldn’t tell you what it’s advertising, so obviously not having the desired effect!

VanCleefArpels · 24/10/2019 07:50

24 hours later......can’t read an OP because of the slightly sinister looking teddy bear.....

BoxFox · 24/10/2019 07:30

Same here - Safari on Ipad

GCAcademic · 24/10/2019 06:31

I’ve had this for two days now. Same ad. Safari on IPad.

BitOfFun · 24/10/2019 01:27

Same here. Very annoying.

MadisonAvenue · 23/10/2019 21:40

It's started happening on my iPad tonight.

Strawberrycreamsundae · 23/10/2019 18:33

And 22 hours later it's still there......
Come on MN, please sort it out 😡😡😡

Nicketynac · 23/10/2019 18:20

I can scroll past it on my phone but not on iPad. Only appearing on a few threads though

zen1 · 23/10/2019 18:10

Just came here to see if there was already a thread and low and behold...

I’m using Safari on iPad and the giant adverts come up and obliterate some of the posts, rendering the thread unreadable. When you scroll up or down, the adverts go over the posts - often the opening post so you can’t see what the OP was posting about.

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 23/10/2019 15:49

Same here. Can’t use the site without constantly re loading the page.

musicposy · 23/10/2019 14:44

I was coming on here to say this. The ad says "please rotate your device" and blocks the whole screen with black. I then give up. It's not worth the effort.

Srictlybakeoff · 23/10/2019 14:34

I keep getting the very advert with no way of turning it off. It’s very annoying. Can you sort it and tell the company that it’s putting me off them rather than making me think about buying. Maybe we should all phone and put in complaints

Butterisbest · 23/10/2019 14:30

Still can't see the advert, just a black screen saying rotate your device.
Also the same as Rufus, Mumsnet disappearing from open tabs. I'd forgotten about that.

Strawberrycreamsundae · 23/10/2019 12:30

Ad blocker seems to have vanished 😡
Still the same damn advert.

RufusthebewiIderedreindeer · 23/10/2019 11:10

Now i think about...

For goodness sake whats wrong with me today!
