I am getting this repeatedly and can't find a way to get rid. Across all topics and doesn't disappear with a refresh.

I’ve been getting the blackout for days.
It happens when I open a thread. It never happens when I’m looking at a list of topics.
Yes black screen when rotated gives the green WhatsApp Ad.

Yes, makes the site unusable

Back again today. As mentioned previously disability means I can’t rotate my screen. Now showing lower on the screen as well as top (I’d been looking for posts that refer to OP so I could read it). Ipad, safari.

It went away yesterday afternoon but using chrome on my i pad again this morning and the big black rotate your screen is popping up on every thread blocking the first post.

Still happening, safari on iPad.

This is still happening- chrome on ipad. Mumsnet is the only website I use which seems to constantly have issues rendering it unusable. Is there nothing that can be done?

Muselyforbreakfast · 27/11/2021 12:44

This is what I get. Completely blocking the OP and first few posts. When I scroll down I just get later posts

We're so sorry that these black boxes and adverts are still causing problems. We've been working to block those that we can and hopefully some of you will notice a difference now.

If anyone's still seeing either the misplaced adverts or the black box, can you please let us know.

It helps enormously if you can post a screenshot (as several of you already have - thank you!), and if you also grab the URL, as well as letting us know the device and browser you're using and if it's the app, which version?

Thanks very much for bearing with us.

Yep, I'm getting it on chrome on ipad. Bloody ridiculous. Sort it out. No way in hell I'm rotating my device for some dick advert.

Muselyforbreakfast · 27/11/2021 10:29

It’s back this morning, huge WhatsApp ad right over the OP and first posts so unable to read any new threads.
iPad on safari

Recycledblonde · 27/11/2021 10:24

I’m getting this using safari on an iPad. It’s really annoying.

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 27/11/2021 09:36

Still happening mumsnet, any updates? I cant get a single thread up without the big black rotate your screen ad covering it!

I'm getting this too - safari on iPad, full website not mobile version.
Theteapotsbrokenspout · 26/11/2021 16:42

Adverts covering the posts here too and I'm using Chrome on my PC.

Kite22 · 26/11/2021 16:20

I am getting a really annoying advert with a woman waving a sheet about covering all the posts, this afternoon.
I'm on a lap top.

DrunkenKoala · 26/11/2021 15:54

I’m also getting it. Just in the last 20 mins. Didn’t happen this morning or last night.
Using an iPad on safari.

Crocky · 26/11/2021 15:50

And now the larger one.

Completely covers the opening post which is extremely annoying.
