ad covering screen

This ad covers the whole screen, and I can just about nearly see one line of Mumsnet beneath it, and I have to turn off and turn on again to clear the screen

Didn't even know there was an app. Thank you

Sweet89 · 11/03/2023 22:48

Not to mention the app is super simple to use and much faster than using Web browser

Sweet89 · 11/03/2023 22:47

Just use the app? Not a single ad on the app

Fluckle · 11/03/2023 22:45

Me too. Android phone. And really shit shammy adverts for nasty jewellery and stuff, not even typical adverts

FuoriComeUnBalcone · 11/03/2023 22:43

Cleared cookies and cache and still happening.

BeautifulBirds · 11/03/2023 22:38

Any idea when this is going to be sorted?

Aweebitpainful · 11/03/2023 22:16

Just to add i’m using safari. I’ve cleared the cookies etc and it’s still happening unfortunately. Also tried logging off and on again

Aweebitpainful · 11/03/2023 22:12

Same things happening on my iPhone mumsnet. Different adds. One for toothpaste . Diamond white bundle or something. My phones fully updated. Finding it incredibly hard to read anything on here with the add taking up most of the screen.

This is driving me crazy. I've had to give up on Mumsnet several times today. Ads on top of other ads!

I'm on a Google Pixel and it's happening to me. I'm not on the app.

MistyBean · 11/03/2023 19:35

This keeps happening to me too, on every thread pretty much. On an android phone.

The adds are AWFUL it’s making the site unusable.

Between this and the sex toy ads someone in marketing is really loosing the plot at MN@MNHQ

Is there any chance anyone might sort this out or even communicate with users on these issues?

MillicentTrilbyHiggins · 11/03/2023 12:08

I cleared everything on my browser. Which is actually annoying as now I'm logged out of every thing.

Anyway. It didn't help. I'm still getting the ads. A jewellery one this morning (Thomas Sabo) but has been different everytime.

Whyismycatanasshat · 11/03/2023 11:09

Happening to me too; fully updates iPhone 12; have cleared the cache etc and no difference. It’s making the mobile site unusable.

MrsRobinStrike · 11/03/2023 11:05

Still happening . @JoMumsnet @LilyMumsnet any solution?
If it's happening to many users on many different search engines and many different devices..... The fault must lie with the one common factor ie mumsnet
I took a screenshot but can't add it as a massive ad is now blocking this screen

plantaneswilldo · 11/03/2023 10:18

Trying to clear your cookies AND your cache.

PacmanIsLost · 11/03/2023 10:05

This is happening to me too. Mobile site using an iPhone with cookies cleared. This site is becoming impossible to use.

Cookies and cache cleared but now I'm getting this.

Came here similarly as just started getting them this morning.

Mine was a big ebay car ad (not Mercedes sadly!) Which covered half my screen. Android phone. Really does make it unreadable. Plus combined with the large ads in the thread too its a lot of scrolling through ads.

Someone mentioned the promoted by mumsnet masquerading as threads too - that's also driving me nuts.

Very close to finally giving up on mumsnet and I'm a regular user

moggerhanger · 11/03/2023 08:55

It seems to have disappeared now, but instead I have this pissannoying ad that won't close no matter how many times I tap it.
