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???

Yep, me too! North Face ad making it impossible to read, or post, as it covers the post CTA.

Donkeyinamanger · 19/04/2022 11:59

Me too, just had the North Face ad making an OP unreadable.

Dcfabyty · 19/04/2022 11:58

the site is pretty is unusable with these huge ads blocking the whole page, can't read anything.

wonderwoman26 · 19/04/2022 11:56

me either - cant read anything how ridiculous.

Giggorata · 19/04/2022 11:54

FGS, Mumsnet, get rid of these intrusive blackout adverts.
I'm giving you a miss for a while, it's too annoying

clopper · 19/04/2022 11:50

Same for me huge North face ad. I just can't read threads at all

IcedOatLatte · 19/04/2022 11:44

I've just has the man in the jacket covering half my screen, I'm on a laptop using firefox

SnowingInApril · 19/04/2022 11:44

Same. This has happened before. V annoying.

Fulmine · 19/04/2022 11:42

Forgot to say, this is happening on my laptop.

Fulmine · 19/04/2022 11:41

Likewise. It does seem to go away if you refresh the page, but even that can't be guaranteed.

It's so irritating, I've just made an almighty vow never to buy North Face stuff.

liquidrevolution · 19/04/2022 11:24

mobile fine. desktop is awful - cannot see OP or the 2nd post.

Not interested in the bloody product either.

@mumsnethq needs to get on the case sharpish.

hamstersarse · 19/04/2022 11:21

Yes, it's making it impossible to read threads.

Looks like it is on desktop that it is worse than on mobile

@mumsnethq

crabbitmaw · 19/04/2022 11:19

Same for me too. @mumsnet

Raera · 19/04/2022 10:58

Me too, it's an advert for North Face

TheCoverIsNotTheBook · 19/04/2022 10:49

Same for me. I can read the first few lines and then it gets covered. Scrolling doesn't help.

grapehyacinthisactuallyblue · 19/04/2022 10:47

Yes, it just happened to me too. I was reading a post, and before I finished reading OP, it got covered and couldn't read the OP or first few posts. Very irritating.
If it happens often, I'm sure it will really put me off reading MN.

hepaticanobilis · 19/04/2022 10:43

I have just taken a screenshot of the same ad and was going to post, too. Even though it says scroll down, it doesn't go away if you do.

Seeline · 19/04/2022 10:41

I had that several times this morning. It suddenly appears and blocks out some of the posts - scrolling up or down doesn't re-instate the lost posts.

ElBandito · 19/04/2022 10:38

Same here. North Face advert

Can't see the threads because of HUGE adverts!
anotherbrewplease · 18/04/2022 06:02

Yes yes - same here and same advert. Really annoying - can't read the upper part of the post.

Probably can't be sorted until after the Bank Holiday?

Bad

JohnMcCainsDeathStare · 18/04/2022 00:54

Seems OK this morning - hopefully just a blip!

I was getting that when I came on this morning. Completely closed my Safari on iPad (don't use app) and reopened it and it had disappeared.

chickyellowcute · 17/04/2022 07:39

same here

Cocobeau · 17/04/2022 07:36

I am now getting this on every post so I’m giving up with MN for now
