Same for me. I've tried clearly cookies but not made a difference. It's impossible to read the threads on my phone as ads taking up just under half the screen.

Orange earrings from Thomas Sabo now

ProfessorPlumInTheLibrary · 12/03/2023 09:45

This is happening to me too. Massive ads from TOAST covering half my screen. On Safari on my laptop. Clearing cache/cookies makes no difference. It's making the site unusable.

TheChosenTwo · 12/03/2023 09:44

I knew there’d be a hefty thread about this.
And no, I don’t want to buy a fucking Mercedes Benz 🤬

GrazingSheep · 12/03/2023 09:35

Its a complete pain now

BeBraveAndBeKind · 12/03/2023 09:34

I have Hotel Rui ad covering the top third of the screen. Android running Firefox

TheyclosedmyCosta · 12/03/2023 09:32

There's no way to close them either. If you could close them they’d still be massively irritating but as you can’t it actually means the site is almost unusable.

Dibblydoodahdah · 12/03/2023 09:31

I’m also having this problem and it’s ridiculous. I can’t search for anything else once I have clicked on a page. I am going to have stop using Mumsnet unless it’s resolved.

Are we counting full page ads in the middle of threads as problematic?

I'm not, no, as i can scroll those away. The ads that are giving me issues remain on the screen and everybody's posts scroll under them, if that makes sense.

TheyclosedmyCosta · 12/03/2023 09:28

Same here - ads taking up literally half the page!

Bikeybikeface · 12/03/2023 09:27

Taking up nearly half of my screen view. I’m glad it’s been noted.

Dear MN, please fix this. I'm saying goodbye for now. I'll pop back every day to see if it's gone.

BuffyTheBuffetSlayer · 12/03/2023 08:57

Just happened again. URL and pics below. Honestly no point coming to mumsnet, can't use it. Seriously fire whoever oversees your IT or tech stuff and hire someone with actual experience and knowledge. I mean, doesn't take years to fix a glitch. And as I've already pointed out, no other website, forums etc have this problem. It is just yours.

It's worse today than it has been previously. 3 times in 5 minutes.

I thought it was fixed this morning, reading the updates on threads i'm on then bam up comes the sodding pet sitting ad again blocking half the screen. I don't need a pet sitter!!!!

BuffyTheBuffetSlayer · 12/03/2023 08:29

@ImaniMumsnet @LilyMumsnet @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet

Jumped on today and straight away another ad covering posts. URL and pics below.

@Mehmeh22

No point clearing cache and giving url as it happens at random. "We're fixing it". Been going on for days now
Actually, it's been going on for years. I honestly don't understand how all other sites are capable of displaying ads properly but mumsnet can't and also never seem to be able to fix it considering I've been having ad problems here for years.

Starting to wonder if mumsnet make extra revenue for 'rogue ads' which force people to not only pay attention to them, but also note the content and take screen shots 'at mumsnet instruction' who then never fix the problem so more people go on and repeat. But I'm cynical like that Grin

Nightmare! I was hoping this would be fixed already! Angry Android device if that makes any difference. Main AIBU page URL.

Just started happening this morning after MNHQ say they are trying to fix it!! Mobile on Chrome.

FailingFlyFightingtoFlutter · 12/03/2023 08:18

I understand MN has to make money

Which is why I haven't got an ad blocker but I can't use MN with this so either leave or use ad blocker which doesn't make MN money.

Allmyarseandpeggymartin · 12/03/2023 07:55

Still happening Mumsnet!!
