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

Same for me, using safari on iPad.

Meant to say I’m using Safari on my ipad

Having the same issue. I’m disabled and use my iPad on a stand. I’m not physically able to rotate my device. Not being able to read an opening post has made mumsnet unusable tonight.

This is happening again. Chrome on iPad. I’ve had enough of this nonsense, it doesn’t happen on any other site I use regularly, so I’m off until it’s sorted. Bye.

Evening, all. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and sorry for the frustration. We're on the case now and will get back to you with an update asap.

I’m having the same issue. Using chrome on an iPad.

I’m getting the huge WhatsApp ad over the posts. Either that or the page freezes and I have to close it. Agree with above, making it unusable. Just when I’d got trending back too

I am also getting this, on a new iPad on chrome. When you rotate its a WhatsApp ad, but doing that doesn’t get rid of it.

I’m also seeing this. A black square covering the content with the words ‘please rotate your device’ appearing. I’m not going to comply so this makes MN unusable . Website in chrome on iPad.

Thank you, I am wondering if it's my phone! I am on an android using the Samsung internet browser on my phone.

Hey FingersofFish

That looks incredibly annoying - thank you for flagging it.

Can you let us know the device and browser you use and how you are accessing the site (app, web etc)?

If anyone else is having this issue, do let us know.
