Ads covering a third of the page

Clearing the cache hasn't been working though...

Nope, still as bad as ever (worse at times!)

It’s really doing my head in.

Not fixed for me either.

Not fixed yet…

Not fixed for me either

Still happening on mine. Not as often but same bloody eyewear add

Also I noticed adverts inbetween posts literally every 4/5 posts in some threads. While not taking up loads of space like those before but it seems excessive or maybe I’ve never noticed? Plus adverts at the top and bottom. Some are repeated in the same thread like the Daz advert. Some are moving/animated ones. It’s not making for an easy reading experience is it?

Sorry @HebeMumsnet not fixed for me. Chrome on Android Google Pixel 6.

All seems resolved this end.

Thank you!

Thanks for fixing it!

I think MNHQ also need to look at the appropriateness of some adverts to some boards. This morning I kept being bombarded with an advert for a very expensive skirt from Toast. And due to it covering 1/3 of the page I couldn't miss it. That would be fine for the S&B page but not for the pages on money saving ideas etc.

Excellent news, not sure how much patience there was though 🤣

Still ongoing. I wanted to go into my account to name change and I couldn’t access it because an Ad was covering the top of my screen. It’s been going on for ages and I just thought it was a deliberate ploy to pay for Premium where I assumed there’d be no ads. Am on an IPhone and an Android (don’t ask) and they’re both equally as bad.

While I’m here I’d like to address another annoying feature. It’s the MN Ads that look like threads. I frequent certain boards where I read most threads so I always look out for ones that are still blue which means I haven’t clicked on them and read them - the ones I’ve clicked on already are purple/pink. I HATE it when I go on a board and see some unclicked-on threads and think there’s some new content and then realise it’s just a sneaky disguised MN ‘thread’ about Pampers nappies or Boden ‘must have items’.

It’s particularly galling to have these ‘chirpy’ threads interspersed on a board that’s dealing with heavy content. So, for instance, the Feminism boards - I’m reading about violence against women or menopause issues and then there’s a post saying ‘Getting Married in 2 weeks and no dress!” or ‘What exactly is combination feeding?’ I can’t believe no one else is annoyed about these. I wish they were just consigned to Chat or AIBU or boards that are appropriate rather than stripped wholesale across all or most boards!

I understand MN wanting to get people to fill out the Census and advertise that across all its boards but the other random stuff is annoying me more than having to navigate past all the huge, annoying, flashing Adverts (almost!).

Me too! Iphone. Makes the site useless. The advert isn’t even showing properly, see this picture. So I can’t read the (unwanted) advert and I can’t quickly access the content I’m here for.

Pleeeeease fix it this morning! It’s unbearable.

Does no one at mnhq actually use the site? Why do you always wait until users have reported what phone and browser they are using when there's an issue and wait to start resolving it?

Surely you have a range of devices/browsers in your department that you can check reports on and see the problem for yourselves. Is no one at mnhq having the problem that the users are?

I'm no techie but your approach to problem solving seems rather haphazard

It’s constant. Lots of different ads.

@JoMumsnet @mnhq This is nothing to do with one URL.

Ha I came to this board to start a thread and found this! How on earth has it been going on so long. I'm on chrome browser, android phone.

How am I supposed to interact with the site when my full page looks like that? I cam scroll past the baby David part but the mercedes bit doesn't go away. So when I am typing messages I can't see the text input box.

I've just advanced searched the word mercedes and found this thread. I too keep getting giant mercedes adverts blocking half the screen. Finding it very difficult to read anything or post.

I don't use mn as much these days - used to be on here constantly. Tried to use more in last few days due to covid and it's a nightmare with the adverts.
