Massive ads taking over screen again

This happened a few weeks ago and appeared resolved. Now it’s happening again. Full screen taken over and a message to rotate screen. I’m on safari on an iPad.

I’m getting the same problem again today when using my iPad. Why can it not be fixed?

PriOn1 · 02/03/2024 21:37

Me too. I hate reading Mumsnet with my iPad upright as I find it difficult to read the smaller script. Can’t do anything when the ad appears other than rotate. If I turn it back, the screen reverts. This was on the feminism board today:

It’s just happened to me - a large black and yellow ad. I was on the Prince William thread.

I’m using safari on an iPad.

On IPad with Safari. Large black screen just popped up again. Same as everybody else - education.wa.edu.au. Please Mumsnet fix this as it’s so annoying

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 29/02/2024 20:55

Back again Angry

Same as @LokiDoki75

I clicked on the advert but nothing happened. It didn’t go to an advert, just stayed as it was.

@LilyMumsnet

All the URLs are posted further up this page, so I am not sure why you are asking for them again? I have also emailed the URL for the W Australia one, which is black and yellow, and have had an email back confirming it has been received.

This is the link again!

Same issue on ipad with google

Next time it happens, could you share the URL with us? If you don't want to load into the advert landing page, you can turn off WiFi and data before clicking the link. It will load the URL without loading the page.

I’ve had it but just yesterday and today. Once it’s there you can’t get it to go away.

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but we're not able to locate external adverts without a link. Next time it happens, could you share it with us?

I’m giving up tonight….every single thread I look at is rendered invisible, dominated by the same ad (Ipad browser). I can’t keep clearing my history because it impacts other stuff I’m doing. It’s hopeless.

Same happening here, Ipad safari. Please rotate your device. Rotating appears to get rid of it but I don’t want to use my ipad like that!

KatherineSiena · 28/02/2024 19:03

Back again.

Daffodildilys · 28/02/2024 18:42

Happened to me 5 minutes ago (again). Going to stop using mumsnet for a while as it’s unusable atm.

Mydoghealsmyheart · 27/02/2024 21:26

And it’s back again!!! It’s making the site unreadable. 🤬

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 27/02/2024 13:45

Just popped up on my iPad today
