Enormous ad banners that you accidentally click on all the time?

I'm on the mobile site on an iPhone 11 (one of the biggest screens!) and these new banners that are triple the depth of the previous/normal ads are the bloody bane of my MN life.
They are damn near impossible to not click on when you're scrolling upwards.

Is that it? You get revenue for clicks so you made it so that I accidentally click on it about 29 times a day??

Hi all

Thank you for the feedback - we will pass it over to our developers and discuss with them. Sorry for any inconvenience being caused. Flowers

@Zancah

I don't think the cruise is a targeted add for me, I've not expressed any desire to go on one. The size of them has to get altered though, it's bloody annoying. Far easier to avoid when they were smaller.

I got hounded by the property development thing in Greenwich. I'm not looking to move and have no idea how the bastards got to me thinking I'm in the market to buy an overpriced flat!

Omg, I thought I was the only one. Even hovering my finger over them for a nanosecond takes me to the webpage. Really fucking annoying. It happened 5 times on one thread. The amount of times, I've just given up on MN and have gone onto something else is ridiculous. Sort it out @MNHQ

Yip.

MN?

Millykitty · 25/04/2021 00:52

Me too! So annoying!

Horridcreature · 24/04/2021 22:06

Me too. Smaller phone. At least one has shot itself in the foot though. It is so big I read and scrolled past the posts before it loaded, actually it still hasn’t loaded.. Really annoying.

Yep same here, I keep hitting an ad accidentally just trying to scroll! Needs to be sorted out.

@MNHQ can you sort it out, I've just accidentally clicked through to ads several times in a row just trying to scroll quickly down a long thread. It's so easy to do as the bloody ad banner takes up nearly a third of the screen. It's so annoying.

Meant to say I'm on the app not mobile site.
