Hate the opportunistic Disney Ad - Enough!

Please - hate any sense that your advertisers are exploiting the current situation - so cynical. Very obtrusive too at the top of all posts/boards.

Please can't you fix this!! I know it's probably a way of holding people to ransom to pay for a premium membership, but it's really so annoying and results in clicking on the wrong thread so often. And it doesn't give me much hope that a premium version would necessarily be any better anyway, if something so simple can't be fixed. There must be a way to load the ads better/differently/in a different order so that this doesn't constantly happen?

And halfway through a thread a bloody great advert is there, not helpful when you're trying to read anything.

This is driving me mad. Even when it’s not clicking on to Disney, it’s causing the thread list to move so I keel clicking on the wrong threads. Can’t the ad just be taken down while it’s messing up the usability of the site?
Thats not because of the disney ad, mine is doing it all the time atm , also keyboard sticking halfway through a post

pinkrocker · 06/04/2020 02:14

It's back AGAIN can you please take it down. It's intrusive.

I'm on the app atm but when I'm on IE on my laptop I have to say I find the ads incredibly irritating and have clicked on a couple when page is loading. Very annoying. Especially there rotating bloody blouses and shoes.

Also did wonder why MN are pushing Disney at a time like this. Personally I and my kids don't do Disney at all but probably the minority.

Bimbleberries · 03/04/2020 08:36

Now it' replaced by online tutor ad, and the same problems are still happening!! It's not the ad, it's the position and way it loads. It puts me right off ever clicking on it and just makes me irritated, which is not good advertising. I never end up clicking where I want, and the page jumping when I'm reading is really frustrating.

ChicChicChicChiclana · 28/03/2020 18:57

Agree! I've got other way more pressing things on my mind right now but please could this ad kindly fuck off?

Bimbleberries · 28/03/2020 18:54

It's back now and it's still getting into the way, causing me to click on the wrong things, the page to jump, etc etc.

I'm never going to intentionally click on it. But it's so annoying to accidentally keep clicking on the wrong threads, or to 'refresh' when I mean 'last', or whatever. Or just having it keep jumping when I read pages.

Nothing2doooooo · 24/03/2020 18:55

I've accidentally clicked on it twice within the last 30mins. I immediately clicked back each time.

TeddyIsaHe · 24/03/2020 18:44

Well I’ve just signed up for Disney plus (what good timing!) and purposefully not used the MN link because it’s so bloody annoying! Exactly what they were hoping for I’m sure Hmm

Sowerehere · 24/03/2020 17:25

Come on!! It’s seriously annoying STILL. Just trying to post on a thread and I didn’t even click on it and the full colour ad started playing. Can you not get this sorted - I’ve never seen an advert have such prominence in this site. They must be paying you a fortune!

Can you just take it down, it's intrusive and affects the loading of our your pages!

shittingmysel · 24/03/2020 12:57

So many betting apps and that as well being advertised really irresponsible I thought.

Irial · 24/03/2020 12:56

Agreed

Spudlet · 24/03/2020 12:55

Another one bored of accidentally clicking on it because it’s too slow to load. I don’t have £50 to chuck away on TV and I could do without it rubbing in here, as well as on social media every second post 🙄

Thanks for the reports which we'll pass on. Flowers

Bimbleberries · 24/03/2020 08:24

Me too! I keep clicking on the wrong thing, because the damn ad loads just as I"m about the click, and the pages jumps. So annoying!!

PurpleDaisies · 24/03/2020 07:40

I’m having the same issues with clicking on is accidentally. It’s incredibly annoying.

AintNobodyHereButUsKittens · 24/03/2020 07:39

I know it’s not actually opportunistic because they’ve planned this launch date for months, but it is far too easy to click by accident - I’ve clicked it at least three times.

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 24/03/2020 07:39

It's very annoying, the page loads, then the ad appears making the page jump and you end up either clicking on the ad link or a thread you weren't trying to open.

NonUrinatInVentum · 24/03/2020 07:37

I've clicked on it so many times by accident as it jumps down the page. So irritating.

TeddyIsaHe · 24/03/2020 07:35

It’s on every single page, and takes a second longer than the page to load so you end up clicking something else every time!!! PLEASE GET RID it’s driving me crackers

It’s too intrusive, takes up too much space, and is too easy to click by mistake (esp on mobile site)

My DC are too old for Disney stuff so it’s been pretty annoying having something I have no interest in, stuck in such a prominent place for so long
