Can everyone please post links as requested rather than screenshots? Hopefully that will make it easier to resolve. You don't have to go to the as page - just press and hold, copy link.

Still happening for me- keep getting an advert for a French hotel covering most of the screen!

Yep, it’s worse this morning. It was ok for 10 mins, now impossible.

That’s me gone for today.

Ads are taking up the entire page for me. Just now one for Sainsbury’s.

OhBeAFineGuyKissMe · 11/03/2023 09:55

On an iPad, thread shrunk right down in the middle with huge ads in the way.

Trying to catch up on a busy thread by reading OP posts only is impossible as clicking Next Post means it's hidden behind - in my case- an oversized toilet from Victorian Plumbing

clearing the cache hasn't helped

Um, mumsnet team, I'm very disappointed you've not sorted this yet. It's not a difficult one. I'm not clearing anything on my phone, as my phone isn't the issue, the code on your website is.

Same here. Keep getting these rubbish adverts that I am unable to click off from, taking up most of the page. What is going on. It is getting on my nerves!

3littlebeans · 11/03/2023 09:43

This is the one I'm getting. I'm logging off soon. It's a nightmare.

I'm getting this too.
Will clear cache, as per advice upthread

Came here similarly as just started getting them this morning.

Mine was a big ebay car ad (not Mercedes sadly!) Which covered half my screen. Android phone. Really does make it unreadable. Plus combined with the large ads in the thread too its a lot of scrolling through ads.

Someone mentioned the promoted by mumsnet masquerading as threads too - that's also driving me nuts.

Very close to finally giving up on mumsnet and I'm a regular user.

FfeminyddCymraeg · 11/03/2023 09:37

Same here. It’s fucking ridiculous 🤬

I just came over here to start a thread on this but found you all beat me to it.
I gave up scrolling through Active this morning as there was an advert for a bathroom cabinet covering 2/5ths of the page, leaving me only able to see 3 posts at a time. Clearly a personalised ad for me as I bought this unit 3 weeks ago. No option to close it as the X was not visible.
I'm on Samsung smart phone but accessing through Chrome.

R0ckets · 11/03/2023 09:25

And I’m not prepared to clear my entire cache and cookies on my phone, many of which I actually want and find useful, just because YOUR website isn’t working!!!

Dont it doesn't fucking work and if anything all its done is make the whole thing worse. Before the ad appeared roughly every 10 threads now it's literally every other thread.

FailingFlyFightingtoFlutter · 11/03/2023 09:19

Still getting the massive adverts, and combine this with the adverts in the thread that have got even bigger and it is unreadable.

I don't use an ad blocker to support MN but MN needs to make sure adverts aren't the main focus.

For me, the ads cycle at the top - Audible and Nike are fine - normal banner size - then it chia goes to La Redoute and BAM takes up the whole screen with mostly just white space!!

Knew there would be a thread about this. I've got this ad appearing at the moment. If I scroll the thread moves from side to side over the ad. It's really horrible to try to read.

And this

ITV x here 🙄

Yes ive got this!

honestly its taking the fucking piss

i agree with others, its making the site completely unusable and i really don’t understand why i have to clear everything on my ipad purely because of your website

leaving here will give me so much more freetime….but as anyone who knows me would tell you THATS A BAD THING 😀
