Can't see the threads because of HUGE adverts!

Trying to read threads tonight and HUGE adverts are obscuring all the OP's. I can read the comments about two rows down, but as I can't read the OP that's pretty useless. What have you done???

Just had time to see NotanotherBeckyMumsnet had replied but the giant NorthFace people threadbombed before I could read the post!

It is very, very user-unfriendly (and I don't care if that's a made up word.)

IsadoraQuagmire · 19/04/2022 14:57

It's happening on Chrome too (using Macbook)

Hope you give North Face a huge discount MN, they will have accrued so much ill will with this glitch.

Gives NorthFace a very hard stare.

I'm getting this too. Refresh the page (desktop) and it disappears.

Thanks, everyone - and so sorry about the annoyance. The screenshots are v helpful. I've just had this ad pop up on my screen too - we're looking into it now.

I've got the same problem using Safari on my Mac. Keep refreshing but takes a few go's to get rid of it.

purpleleotard · 19/04/2022 14:49

just MN trying to increase their profile to their advertisers.

I don't like it so have been on the site much less.

Vote with your feet

Greyhare · 19/04/2022 14:47

Same here on safari, is this just a ploy to try to get more people to upgrade 🤔

notangelinajolie · 19/04/2022 14:46

It just happened to me. I was able to get rid of it by refreshing the page. Very frustrating.

GCAcademic · 19/04/2022 14:46

I’ve had this problem today, using Safari. I’ve now downloaded an adblocker, I’m afraid. If this was a one-off, I’d bear with MN’s IT people, but this kind of problem has been going on for months now.

popcornsong · 19/04/2022 14:45

I have the same problem. Using Safari on a desktop. Site now unusable for me. Also - will never buy North Face!

IsadoraQuagmire · 19/04/2022 14:44

And just clicked on another thread and couldn't read the OP at all due to HUGE ad!

IsadoraQuagmire · 19/04/2022 14:42

I had it just now when trying to reply to a thread. I couldn't see my reply (in preview) at all. Using Safari.

dammit88 · 19/04/2022 14:32

same here

MrsDanversBroom · 19/04/2022 14:25

Itsa huge North Face ad for me too, asking me to rotate my screen

MrsDanversBroom · 19/04/2022 14:24

WTF? The ads make the site impossible to read, please make them go away!

anotherbrewplease · 19/04/2022 14:17

It stopped for a while and now it's back AGAIN.

Terrible - please make it stop

thesugarbumfairy · 19/04/2022 12:32

I had this, ironically, when trying to read your OP, which I couldn't, because of the huge advert.

However I just logged in (I'm on a pc) and its gone. Not sure if that's co-incidence or not.

Belkell · 19/04/2022 12:26

Hi. Me too. iPad with safari

Can't see the threads because of HUGE adverts!
ticktockriojaoclock · 19/04/2022 12:24

Try using a browser with an adblocker like brave.

bettytaghetti · 19/04/2022 12:20
