The irony is if we can’t use the site through advertising then we won’t see the adverts

Nellodee · 12/03/2023 07:29

Add my name to the list of people finding the site unusable on mobile.

Mehmeh22 · 12/03/2023 07:18

No point clearing cache and giving url as it happens at random. "We're fixing it". Been going on for days now

JorisBonson · 12/03/2023 06:54

The site is becoming unusable. Sort it out MNHQ!

IglesiasPiggl · 12/03/2023 06:37

I have this too. The whole "typing into a void because I can't actually see what I'm writing " is adding a certain frisson to my MN experience 😂. But for the record, I have no plans to purchase a Mercedes.

Advert blocking half the page at [[https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4634715-to-not-want-to-hear-any-pretence-again-that-the-bbc-are-impartial so that its difficult to see the image at all

same issue still on this thread. with the advert blocking the top half and the keyboard taking up the rest, the tiny slither of what I can see as I type is ridiculous.

Just came here to see if there was a thread on this already…. It’s so frustrating! I get that MN need to make money, but when an ad is taking up so much of the screen it feels like little point in using the site, literally can’t read more than a few lines at a time so end up just coming off it. Hoping it’s something easily fixed rather than a permanent change.

BuffyTheBuffetSlayer · 12/03/2023 01:01

Still happening. I'll post pics and the url. Android mobile phone.

This is definitely worse today. I have the same Holzkern ad as yesterday, but now it’s on every damn thread I click on! They’re lovely watches, but I have no intention of buying one. Even more bizarrely, it seems like only a part of the ad is displaying, as huge as it is

Just started today for me, Futon company this time.

Unfortunately Mumsnet wins 'worst site ever' for rogue ads regularly ruining the ability to use the site.

Feels like a new one every month :/

only started doing this for me today. iPhone. Very annoying going somewhere else for the evening instead as making the site unusable for me.
