Same. Mercedes ad. Chrome on android.

KatherineJaneway · 11/03/2023 06:58

Just to say I'm getting the same. Mercedes ad, Chrome on android phone.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 11/03/2023 06:40

I cleared the cache, history and cookies last night. Sodding Mercedes ad is back this morning...

Londonnight · 11/03/2023 06:38

Me too! I came here to say the same thing!. ITV x, mercedes covering the whole page. There is no reason for these ads to cover the WHOLE PAGE.

It's also strange as that the only thread so far they don't cover the whole page is on this thread?

Why is there an ad for Sysdig which is in dollars too?? That is not relevant to the UK at all.

Mylobsterteapot · 11/03/2023 06:18

I’m getting a film advert at the sides of the page, shrinking the thread down. Also random “promoted by MN” threads in topics they don’t belong in.

Levriers · 11/03/2023 06:15

ITV x here 🙄

Same since yesterday. Mobile site, Android phone, Chrome. Couple of different ads, here's the url for one of them:

Mine literally covered my whole screen until i scrolled and then the whole screen except for about two lines of the thread. (See screengrabs)

As if all the 'promoted by mumsnet' ads masquerading as threads isn't bad enough now we get this shit. It's making the site unusable. I swear I'm just going to fuck off to reddit and not come back.

I agree, I have mostly fucked off to Reddit.
Came back this evening and I'm getting the bloody advert across 1/3 of the screen (on this thread as well!) so it's completely unusable.

FlappyFish · 10/03/2023 23:58

iPhone on safari. I’m not opening anything

SheilaFentiman · 10/03/2023 23:48

Same

safari, iPhone 12

Thriwit · 10/03/2023 23:27

It’s happening to me too with a Holzkern ad. The ad isn’t even displaying properly. iPhone with Safari. First time I’ve noticed it this evening! It’s making threads very difficult to read.

Hi again

If this is still an issue for you, please could we ask that you clear your cookies/cache? We are hopeful that this will resolve it, but please let us know either way.

Yes still happening. Makes it unreadable when this happens on a page

Yayasisterhood · 10/03/2023 23:24

Cleared cache and cookies etc. workers temporarily and back within twenty minutes. Safari, iPhone.

Crumbcatcher · 10/03/2023 23:17

Last time I cleared cookies and cache I lost all progress in a game I was playing, so I don't want to do that.

Also I don't drive so it's pointless marketing Mercs to me. You know how tiktok algorithm learns what you like? I've been here a decade, just saying. 🙄

BuffyTheBuffetSlayer · 10/03/2023 23:09

I've been getting ad's covering threads the last few days too @LilyMumsnet This has been an issue for a very very long time and only an issue with Mumsnet, never had it with any other site. I can't understand how it has not been resolved yet? Maybe you need a new tech team?

Still happening mumsnet!!

Drywhitefruitycidergin · 10/03/2023 22:43

Almost impossible to use/comment on anything - awfully frustrating

Reallybadidea · 10/03/2023 22:34

Same here. I don't want to clear my cookies or cache, I find them useful for some sites. I'll just go elsewhere if it doesn't get sorted.

Flavabobble · 10/03/2023 22:34

Have deleted cookies/cache. Still doing it, even worse when I get the huge Daz ads that take up over a page when I scroll I can't move those unless I touch the screen in EXACTLY the right place.
