Huge ads not scrolling

Got a new one here, for me at least. Huge ads taking up top half of screen, I understand there are some pretty big ads but this one stays static and doesn’t scroll.

Once a scrolling ad appears, you’re left with an entire screen of advert as per screenshot Confused

Same here, extremely annoying. I got the cows and a woman cleaning her loo. Takes up nearly half the page.

BigWholeBean · 07/04/2022 19:23

Same here

riotlady · 07/04/2022 19:22

Same here

AgentProvocateur · 07/04/2022 19:20

I’ve got the cow one too. Can read about five lines of text. Really fucking annoying.

What's even worse is that it makes composing posts virtually impossible because the keyboard takes up the other half of the screen.

Just came here to start this exact thread. Sort it out HQ!! It’s really fucking annoying

Tronkmanton · 07/04/2022 19:11

Me too!

Neonskytonight · 07/04/2022 19:07

Yup same here - on mobile site. Huge ads non moving advert at the top rather than the middle and scroll past able as normal and only a tiny bit left to read the thread. Unusable.

BookHermitBlack · 07/04/2022 19:06

Me too.

musicalfrog · 07/04/2022 19:05

Omg these are annoying and pointless! I have this pic of cows in a field stuck over a third of my screen. What the heck it's for i have no idea. When I'm typing I can't see what I'm writing. Just started this evening, MAKE IT STOP! Bloody awful.

Yes, me too. Just start-rite shoes! I don't really want touse an ad blocker, Ijust want ads that do not make a site unpleasant to use.

I downloaded an ad blocker and they have gone!

Privacy DNS was the first on the list I saw

MissyB1 · 07/04/2022 18:59

@underneaththeash how do we ad block?

underneaththeash · 07/04/2022 18:57

Just ad block.
I had that issue a couple of years ago.

HouseofHolbein · 07/04/2022 18:50

Same here. Very annoying.

CurbsideProphet · 07/04/2022 18:49

Yes same here.

gingerscot · 07/04/2022 18:47

And me!

Twinkletwinklelittletoes · 07/04/2022 18:43

Me too.

swashbucklecheer · 07/04/2022 18:43

Me too. A massive fat ad for slimming world ironically!

OutlookStalking · 07/04/2022 18:40

Yup had that too. Had the "in text" advert too at the bottom at one point and started to think maybe thos was getting silly...

ReeseWitherfork · 07/04/2022 18:38

Came here to see if anyone else had this problem today (or to ask if not). I’ve never had this problem before and it’s making the site unusable.

lifelongfrugaleer · 07/04/2022 18:14

Me too a boux bra advert
Make it stop @mnhq

NeverSayNeverAgainMaybe · 07/04/2022 18:13

Same here. Makes it impossible to read the damn threads. Perhaps I should just bugger off to reddit. Mumsnet is becoming less and less user friendly.
