Advert blacking out whole screen

I get this in every second thread I open this morning. It’s hiding all the posts on a page.

Using safari on iPad.

Yeah. I’ll never use jet 2 holidays.

And I don’t want to make a brownie in a cup with tomato sauce thanks.

It’s getting worse - taken out the whole thread here.

IPad

Yes, seriously annoying and guaranteed to make me avoid the advertiser like the plague so a bit of a disaster all round.

It’s been happening for weeks and weeks. What the hell is causing it and why can’t mumsnet stop it? I KNOW the site is funded by ads and I don’t want to get an ad blocker but I’m at the point where I’m going to.

Between this, and the loud auto play video ads that won’t close the site is unusable at times.

I mean, come ON

And immediate after covering the text box, so had to refresh. What an awful pita.

This from 9.35 this morning.
Active convos obscured.

Android. Mobile site. Google chrome.

Please make it stop.

Levriers · 29/09/2021 17:58

It’s on most threads - why do you need to know that ? The same issue has been reported for days !

Chemenger · 29/09/2021 17:29

I'm getting that advert for Jersey on most threads now. I'm definitely never going there. It obscures the OP and the title so it's hard to say exactly what threads are called.

Any does my head in. And so does your woman making the chocolate thing with tomato sauce.

SpindleWorld · 29/09/2021 16:10

Just had it it again blasting out something about recyclables.

The main advert block - the one with Amy and her annoying weaning foods, that MNHQ was supposed to have got rid of earlier this year - was black. When the horrible ad about recyclables noise ended, a still of bloody Amy's ad appeared.

Are you hacked, MN?

CeeceeBloomingdale · 29/09/2021 15:57

It’s on virtually every thread and looks exactly the same as every other picture posted. Safari is version 15.

SpindleWorld · 29/09/2021 15:44

MNHQ has been puzzling about this, asking for screenshots, browser and device details, for over 3 weeks now.

Loads of posters* have sent this information.

Seems that MNHQ are 'stumped'. Who knows why, or how?

Hi @CeeceeBloomingdale and @Pixiedown123 sorry to hear you've been having problems. Please can you let us know the version of device and browser that you are using?

Also, if you're able to provide a screenshot and tell us where you were on the site when you saw this, it would be really helpful. Flowers

Pixiedown123 · 29/09/2021 13:36

I have the same problem

CeeceeBloomingdale · 29/09/2021 13:34

Still happening on safari on iPad as above

Levriers · 28/09/2021 22:50

Still happening- whilst browsing the lust of active convos !

I am getting it too and it is covering multiple posts (the one below is quoting one so there must be at least one being covered plus top of the visible one).
I accept adverts as part of life but this is too intrusive. Safari on iPad.

This is becoming incredibly annoying! It I scroll down, adverts cover the whole page. I can't reply to anything as it is covering the message box.

It's ridiculous that this is happening and mumsnet are doing nothing about it. There have been numerous complaints. It doesn't matter which browser anyone uses, this shouldn't be happening. Ad blocker here I come!

MrsLeclerc · 28/09/2021 07:54

Happening again. It’s covering the post I’m trying to write so have had to abandon it. Very frustrating.
Using iPad safari.

Selford · 28/09/2021 07:50

Happened again this morning at 7.48. Was scrolling through Active, not on a particular thread. Using Microsoft Edge.

Same issue. Chrome ipad. This is all I can see of the OP.
Getting a bit daft now.
