It's frustrating

LadyOfTheFliessssss · 12/03/2023 16:23

It's ridiculous!

Same here. It's driving me batty. Can't actually concentrate on reading any threads and just click off.

riotlady · 12/03/2023 16:13

How is this not fixed yet???

Changingplace · 12/03/2023 15:46

Not just me with this issue then!! I can barely read anything, I’ve got a holiday add covering 1/3 of the top of the screen permanently, sooo irritating!

LubaLuca · 12/03/2023 15:43

This is what I'm seeing, I can see posts like I'm peeping through a letterbox.

These stupid adverts are making the site unusable. Does anyone even click on advert except by accident 🙈?

SocksAndTheCity · 12/03/2023 15:23

I'm getting them now too - I can't see or go straight to my notifications because there's a bloody great Mercedes banner covering the top of the screen. Android phone using FireFox.

BittenontheBum · 12/03/2023 15:22

It annoyed me yesterday.
It's fucking me right off today 🙄
Happy to supply screenshot etc but as clearing cache and deleting search histories etc doesn't seem to work I'm not doing that.
MNHQ please sort it out

FlyingFlamingo · 12/03/2023 15:16

@Mabelface I hate Reach and refuse to read our local newspaper online because it’s a Reach website, once the ads cover more than 30% of the page it becomes unreadable and that’s exactly what mumsnet is like today. It only happened now and again on Friday and now it’s on every single page (including Active)

Using mumsnet is currently on par with any Reach publications website. As in shite and full of ads.

I don't want Sky. I don't want a Mercedes. I simply want to read other people's threads. Sort it out please.

ItsCalledAConversation · 12/03/2023 14:42

Same here, came here to report it. So frustrating. iPhone on safari. The ad jumps to cover 1/2 the screen.

Happening with every visit here now @MNHQ After 30 seconds being on a thread I see this...

Really bored of this now @MNHQ.
The site is becoming virtually unusable

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! 😂

Eaterofcheese · 12/03/2023 13:03

I'm also getting this on chrome for android.

Persipan · 12/03/2023 12:51

Dillydallydilly · 12/03/2023 00:50

It’s now in the way of being able to open notifications…

I've also had this today and it's extremely irritating.

Akite · 12/03/2023 12:44

Came on to look for a thread, I knew there'd be one about this! It's ridiculous, even reading this thread give you a 1/3 page banner ad followed by a full page ad in the thread itself.

Me too leaving now

Deadringer · 12/03/2023 12:39

This is how much screen I have when typing this. Ridiculous.

Elerandooo · 12/03/2023 12:38

Becoming a right pain now! Even when you think you’ve got onto a thread without one popping up, it just randomly pops up while you’re reading. Makes it impossible to click back to homepage or search anything.

Someone let me know when it’s fixed, I’m out til then!

Greydogs123 · 12/03/2023 12:19

I keep popping back to see if they’ve done anything to fix it, no luck yet. Surely, they are noticing a difference in their traffic if we’re all having the problem.

7Worfs · 12/03/2023 12:16

Same here, Mercedes Benz ad blocks half my screen.
iPhone and Chrome.

Any updates @MNHQ?
