Yes, it’s shit. Ads sponsored by Gumtree for new cars taking up at least half the screen. Please get it sorted.

neilyoungismyhero · 11/03/2023 18:24

Anything being done about these ads? Can't really see the posts anymore. Beginning to lose the will to live and give up.

Somanysocks · 11/03/2023 18:11

Argggghhh!

WellTidy · 11/03/2023 16:47

I’m getting this and have done for a few days. I logged out and deleted all my cookies this morning, thinking that would resolve things. But still the same. This is what I’m seeing on an iPhone

pharmachameleon · 11/03/2023 16:37

I don't get this at all on the app. I don't pay and just use the app on my iPhone

We're really sorry that these ads are causing problems - we're working to get it sorted out ASAP.

Screenshots as well as the URL of the page where it's happening are really useful. 🙏

Spudina · 11/03/2023 14:34

Yep there’s currently a car advert covering half this screen. It’s too annoying to have to miss touching it by mistake all the time so I’m taking a break till it stops. I already have the problem that when I scroll down and hit an ad the whole page freezes.

Soggyhouse · 11/03/2023 14:27

Yep this is unusable

Spudlet · 11/03/2023 13:56

I just tried to click into this thread to add my moan and instead was whisked away to Victorian Plumbing as their gigantic ad spread over the screen, who tried to flog me a new toilet. Which was slightly ironic. 🙄

iPhone, safari.

IClaudine · 11/03/2023 13:56

Yep, same here.

CoachBeard · 11/03/2023 13:54

These ads are driving me mad. Mumsnet just isn’t readable at the moment. Is the idea to force people to pay for an ad free version?

riotlady · 11/03/2023 13:47

Same here and there’s no way to close it

fluffiphlox · 11/03/2023 13:43

Awful on an iPhone.

Dontgonearthecastle · 11/03/2023 13:42

Agree. Very annoying

Skyellaskerry · 11/03/2023 13:42

I came on here to see if anyone else was having this issue and can see I’m not alone! Awful. I end up stuck with a massive advert that I can’t seem to get away from.

AngelDelightUK · 11/03/2023 13:41

Same here on iPhone, adverts covering half the page and no way to click to get rid of them

Prettybubblesintheair · 11/03/2023 13:40

Agreed, really fucking irritating. I am now 100% less likely to buy a pair of black Birkenstocks. How thick is the person who chose this advertising strategy?! I know let’s really fuck off and alienate any potential customers by blocking their WHOLE screen…who doesn’t love being bombarded!!

MindfulMess · 11/03/2023 13:40

About to give up tbh

SevenSevensAre49 · 11/03/2023 13:38

I’ve had this on my iPhone. I click on a thread and it’s ok for about 20 seconds then a huge advert covers half of the page. Advert is so big it doesn’t even fit on the page. MN is getting really annoying at the minute.

wisewomanmummy · 11/03/2023 13:38

It's beyond annoying, can't read half the page!

HermioneWeasley · 11/03/2023 13:36

Agree, unreadable. I understand they need to generate ad revenue, but making the site unusable it probably not the way

TenoringBehind · 11/03/2023 13:34

This

Halfeatentoast · 11/03/2023 13:26

Yep when trying to write a post on Android its fine for a bit but then an ad will take over the top half meaning its difficult to see what I've written.

Luckycatyellowsky · 11/03/2023 13:26

I can’t see a thing expect for clothing adds- the adds are so enormous I can’t even see the picture of the clothes they so desperately want me to buy- just half the blurb about green blouses and gold trainers so some such? Please sort this!
