Ad covering whole page

Chrome on laptop. The Irish ferries ad keeps covering the whole page and doesn't disappear, making it impossible to look at any threads.
At the bottom of the ad it says to scroll down to read threads ---- this doesn't work, the ad just follows down. Please, please sort this out!

refreshing the page did't work for me, or closing MN then going back in to same thread.

ThinWomansBrain · 23/05/2022 11:04

still getting this, (reported yesterday) but it's getting worse - now rather than just obscuring the whole post, obscures everything, including this bit to enter messages. Typing quickly to get megssge in before it appears.😁

Still happening and back to not being able to see anything if I scroll up or down.

I find refreshing the page works.

North Face today - makes a change from the Irish ferries!

Irish Ferries ad just struck again. Please sort it out! Thanks.

Silvercatowner · 23/05/2022 06:18

Still happening and so irritating.

Levriers · 23/05/2022 05:45

Still this morning

I keep getting a black page saying scroll down etc. too. ☹️

Yep me too I'm afraid. Black page, telling me to rotate my device. Nothing to do but give up and try later. Very very irritating.

Still happening. @MNHQ

Same here. Irish ferries ad keeps blocking the entire page and can't be scrolled past. I got half way through typing something but had to scrap it and leave the site. Logged back in, got half way through re-typing, and it happened again.

Beancounter1 · 22/05/2022 17:29

Yep, still happening. MS Edge on laptop. I wouldn't even mind if I could actually just scroll past, but that mechanism doesn't work - If I scroll it goes to the bottom of the screen.
This site is becoming unusable until this is fixed.

Chaotica · 22/05/2022 17:10

I searched to see if there was a thread on this topic to report it and when I found this thread, the Irish Ferries ad has blocked it completely twice. It's really annoying and makes me leave the site entirely as there is no point if I can't read the threads (often I can't even read the OP).

Firefox on Windows laptop.

MrsWombat · 22/05/2022 16:26

Same problem here. Firefox on laptop.

MinkyTunes · 22/05/2022 15:35

Irish Ferries ad is still unscrollable past, it covers the whole screen and you have to refresh in order to get a different ad to read the page. However, I also had the problem on the Guardian website earlier today with the same Irish Ferries ad, so I don't think it's just a MN issue. I'm using Chrome on Desktop.

popcornsong · 22/05/2022 14:21

Still getting massive Irish ferry advert that blocks everything. Hopeless. Safari on Mac.

Endeavormorse · 22/05/2022 10:27

ElBandito · 19/05/2022 07:13

Same here.
"Please rotate your device" No, I want it landscape. It's my device and I'll hold it how I want.
If I scroll I can't see anything else.
Safari on an iPad.
It's coming up on every page.

Same issue here for the last few weeks. Bloody irritating. Chrome on iPad.

ThinWomansBrain · 22/05/2022 08:46

not just me then🙂
Started notiing this morning, ad is blocking the OP.
Using a laptop, firefox, windows 10; screenshot attached

Hi, I’m still having issues with a giant black “rotate your screen” ad on Safari on iPad. I have tried to close it multiple times, and told Google I don’t want to see it, it it is still blocking my screen.

daisychain01 · 22/05/2022 05:57

Knittedfairies · 20/05/2022 14:00

I've had the 'rotate your device' message, and also a 'Remember Polly Pockets' which takes up the entire screen.
ipad/Safari.

I used to love Polly Pocket, not any more, she can do one.

ElBandito · 19/05/2022 16:08

Still happening. Now I can scroll to see the rest of the thread, but I can't get to read the whole op

chrome iPad iOS whatever number it is now.

Thank you @ElBandito @Levriers i came on here to report the same evil / barstorial/ crash-inducing ad that you've screengrabbed.

Doesnt MNHQ test these ghastly ads beforehand?!

Black screen of death suddenly appears, then it forces the user (literally) to rotate their device to portrait orientation (why???) so that on an iPad it gives you a tiny little portrait sized soft keyboard.

totally unusable frustrating and annoying.

Levriers · 22/05/2022 05:52

And again ……..

ElBandito · 21/05/2022 11:14

Not fixed. This came up while I was reading the op. I can scroll to the rest of the thread but I can't finish reading the op.
