It’s now happening almost every time I open a Mumsnet page.

are Mumsnet doing anything about this?

I don’t want a fucking XXL cat carrier (I don’t own a cat) or extra large sofa throws.

FFS this has been going on for days and it’s so irritating

Ridiculously large ads here too. Sort it out please mumsnet, it’s making your website a massive pain

The site is pretty unusable at the moment on a mobile. You can’t close the ad so you can’t access the top bar for web navigation. There’s also the annoyance of ads everywhere on active thread. The ads have taken over the site to the point of it being too much.

Is Mumsnet under different management or something? With the sex topic being pushed, threads directed at new mums for sex toys and advertising every 5 posts on a thread and taking up half a page…. It doesn’t feel like the site it used to be

Oh now it’s a car rental in Gran Canaria ad. Bizarre

Briallen · 12/03/2023 21:23

It’s driving me insane. I keep getting a prada ad. Its happening every single time now whereas before it was only now and again. Can’t actually use mumsnet with this happening

I can’t be bothered to read the whole thread. In fact the bloody advert is blocking half of it so I can’t. Is there a resolution yet?

No resolution and no updates other than a meagre suggestion to clear the and cookies (which doesn't work) and the last update saying it's on their radar which is not really much of an update as if they hadn't noticed the giant bloody adverts I'd be recommending a trip to specsavers.

Missillusioned78 · 12/03/2023 20:36

This is ridiculous- it’s unusable. Will be voting with my feet and not using until this is resolved

Pet sitters for me…

I came on to start a thread on this as it has only just started happening to me and see it has been an issue for days now! Site is practically unusable for me at the moment

I've literally just started a thread on AIBU about this (a lovely poster directed me here). This is driving me mad!

Yup, I keep getting the RIU ones. I gave up on mumsnet yesterday because of it, and now more that are taking up 1/3 of the page.

I will definitely no longer touch RIU with a barge pole, and if this goes on much longer, I’ll leave mumsnet for a while too 😔

Well it's been broken since at least Thursday so what was the excuse then?

I'm sure this has already been noted, but these top-of-the-page monster ads are clearly not displaying at the correct size (unless the Hotel Riu Plaza really is in 'Manhat').

Clearly needs fixing - it's getting in the way of being able to see my Mercedes ad properly! 😂

Im only getting the Lan ones. Not even good enough for man hat.

BernadetteIsMySister · 12/03/2023 19:11

Another 24 hours and still not fixed? And not even an update 🙄

Nw22 · 12/03/2023 19:10

This I making the site unusable

PaigeMatthews · 12/03/2023 19:09

There is an add for hotel riu taking up half of my page. It is infuriating.

Richvanilla · 12/03/2023 19:06

Every bloody thread now.
How hard can this be to sort?

I thought this was a glitch on my phone! It's terrible.
