Hi, thanks for the reports on this and really sorry you're still experiencing problems.

Please can you let us know the operating system and browser that you are using? Flowers

I'm on a desktop and am having the same issue. The ad makes the whole screen shift constantly which as others have said is headache inducing...

StellaOlivetti · 14/10/2020 06:59

It’s really intrusive and annoying. The screen moves and flashes about to accommodate it, it’s unusable at the moment.

FippertyGibbett · 14/10/2020 06:52

My screen is sliding all over the bloody place, it’s making me cross-eyed. I’ve had enough, logging out.

FippertyGibbett · 14/10/2020 06:50

It’s doing it again and I’m on an iPad 😡😡😡😡
I don’t even have small kids, and mine never had nits anyway. Sort it MN.

This is getting ridiculous it’s the most intrusive advert you have ever had one here, safari iPad.

Hi @QuitMoaning thanks for this update. We've now relaunched the ad. If you are still having problems, please can you let us know the operating system and browser that you are using? Flowers

QuitMoaning · 13/10/2020 13:28

Just seen it on the search results page (IPad).
Will give up for a few days again.

Hi @Frdd thanks for alerting us to this. We're taking a look now. Thanks for your patience. Flowers

FippertyGibbett · 13/10/2020 06:48

It being very annoying again 😡
Sort it out !

Frdd · 13/10/2020 06:46

Just coming to post this. It’s back. It pushes the body of the website all skew and I can’t see half of the thread.

It really is incredibly difficult to use the site with it.

And before you ask what thread I saw it on. This one.

ArseholesOnToast · 13/10/2020 00:56

It’s back and as annoying as it was before.

ZaraCarmichaelshighheels · 13/10/2020 00:44

It’s just as bad as before, please get rid of this advert.

1stevernamechange · 13/10/2020 00:16

It’s still done the same for me tonight, I’ve kept having to refresh the page so I can briefly see the active topics, otherwise it’s just a portion of the page floating over an advert

Hi again,

The ad provider has now made some changes to the set up of this ad. As a result, we've set the campaign live again but please let us know if there are any further issues.

Fingers crossed. Smile

Hi @Levrierssontmeilleurs (and everyone else),

Thanks for the info and screenshots - we're really sorry that this ad has been causing problems for many of you.

Just letting you know that our Adops team have now turned this ad off - it clearly wasn't behaving properly.

Apologies for any inconvenience it's caused over the past few days. Flowers

It’s back !! It went away later the day I first reported but is back again. Irritating

I came onto Site Stuff to say everything that everyone else has said . It’s making me dizzy .

BlackeyedSusan · 11/10/2020 22:17

particularly bad on the sn boards which is a bit shit considering the higher prevalence of those with sensory issues.

Frdd · 11/10/2020 12:26

I’m getting the same and it’s really annoying.

QuitMoaning · 11/10/2020 12:25

Whoever had this idea for an ad needs to have their position re-evaluated back down to junior.

I think I shall leave this site alone for a few days and check back when it is fixed. I really cannot cope with the headaches this advert is giving me (using on an iPad)

ArseholesOnToast · 11/10/2020 06:43

Really intrusive and annoying. The actual Mumsnet page floats between the two ads. The Ovex keeps flashing as the pic changes. Makes my eyes hurt. Here’s mine with the right partially obscured by Mrs Hinch.

Ovex pop up ad ?
ZaraCarmichaelshighheels · 11/10/2020 00:07

I’m getting seriously pissed off with this now, I can’t use the site, the active box has gone, look at this screen shot, please sort this out.
