I just got a notification email saying I had been mentioned in a post but I couldn't see it at first. It appears to only show depending on whether or not you've clicked show older posts. Examples attached!

I am not technical by any stretch of the imagination but it seems to be related to where I bookmark

I went into this thread, found the most recent advert and changed the bookmark placement and found a post was hidden underneath

Hi @KittensTeaAndCake,

Thanks for flagging this to us and for providing the helpful screenshots. We're sorry this is still happening for some of you.

Can you possibly check if that ad is still causing problems on that thread today? We're viewing the thread on the iPhone app and the advert appears to be correctly placed now, so we'd be grateful if you could take another look to see if it's okay for you.

If it isn't, could you please give us details about the phone/tablet you're using to view Mumsnet.

Thanks in advance.

...and it's still doing it @MNHQ

On app OP's latest post has completely disappeared under an ad.

[quote Tiphaine]I reported this months ago under a different name. It is still happening frequently. I'm on the ipad app.

For instance, I have a post directly above my post in the picture. It's hidden as you can see, but if I go on the mobile site on Safari I can see it. Here's the thread: Terf as an insult www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/4478312-Terf-as-an-insult[/quote]
Sorry, forgot picture!

I can't replicate it either @LilyMumsnet as it moves around, it seems to be dependent on where my bookmark is and also I only notice when I am looking for a post or the conversation flow doesn't make sense

antidisestablishmentarianism · 11/02/2022 20:40

But it isn’t there now! A mumsnet premium ad in its place. All I can say is it was virgin Atlantic saying hi Austin, after it had told me to rotate my device. It was covering all the text and made the post unviewable, but I cannot recreate it.

Hi all

Oh no - we're really sorry that the fix didn't work.

Please can we get the URL links to the adverts that are causing issues?
You'll need to click on the advert to get this - but having that link will mean we can block it directly.

antidisestablishmentarianism · 10/02/2022 21:06

Still happening, it is the virgin atlantic ad that is the culprit. Very annoying

WhatICallMyUsername · 10/02/2022 11:39

Nope still happening @KimMumsnet

Good morning.

We have blocked the ad that has been mentioned a a few times above now, so hopefully that issue is sorted.

@CasparBloomberg if you can get a screenshot of that when it happens and post it for us, that will help us to pinpoint the ad which is causing the issue. Thank you.

CasparBloomberg · 09/02/2022 22:01

Also happening to me. Can have time to read first few lines of thread then all of a sudden a black iPad screen saying rotate. When I rotate it’s like a huge fake Instagram post with no x box to get rid of it and I still can’t see any of the opening post.
Mumsnet is now unusable

KittensTeaAndCake · 07/02/2022 19:24

Does anyone at @mnhq actually give a monkeys or is it because I am not a premium member?

I'm guessing this is exactly why it hasn't been fixed.

MyPatronusIsAPenguin · 07/02/2022 16:27

Oh the irony of it doing to my own posts on this thread

MyPatronusIsAPenguin · 07/02/2022 16:24

The actual post (or part of at least)

MyPatronusIsAPenguin · 07/02/2022 16:23

Wow hiding a post so big it actually took 3 screenshots. This has been going on since August now. Does anyone at @mnhq actually give a monkeys or is it because I am not a premium member?

Milliways · 03/02/2022 21:39

I am now getting huge adverts saying “please rotate your device” and you can’t see the posts as it moves along as you scroll!

KimMumsnet · 03/02/2022 10:23

Hi there - thanks for including those screenshots, that's very helpful. We do appreciate how frustrating this is - thank you for your patience.

KittensTeaAndCake · 03/02/2022 09:58

Hi @MNHQ, this is still happening.
My post has completely disappeared underneath an ad.
(See the screenshots attached - one on the app and then on the website).

If anyone is wondering why no one replies to you, this is probably the reason - they can't see your post because it's disappeared underneath a bloody advert. Also when posters moan at someone for not RTFT, maybe they have and just not seen a particular post as it's covered up!!!
