Banner advert in the app

Then at least @LilyMumsnet @JoMumsnet @BeckyAMumsnet or @justinemumsnet should have the guts courtesy to come on and say that

But they could still answer the question about the other websites that apparently have the same sort of advertising - since none of us seem to have come across them. or don't they exist

There's no response because they've sold the adspace and they will be contractually obliged.

I agree @Lilifer - I was just being grateful for small mercies

I'm still pissed off at the double advertising: ie the permanent banner taking up a 1/3 of the screen as well as the in-thread advertising (which I have no objection to).

They claim that this is the norm on social media sites - but have failed to come up with any examples when I asked . It's certainly not the norm on the other mainstream social media websites I use (Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, Reddit, Threads)

Their lack of response is just plain rude

But I don't even want to see mumsnet voices. There was never any ad at the top at all until 4 weeks ago and it blocks a large part of the screen so defeats the purpose of an app as it's more work to try and follow a thread, I've barely been on mumsnet for the last few weeks since this started which is no bad thing but piss poor reaction from MNHQ

Maybe I've been lucky but since I've re-installed the app, the banner ad seems to be stuck on the "Mumsnet Voices" one famous last words

Maybe it's because in the process of re-installing, I told it that I wasn't allowing it to track my activity

@justinemumsnet we've had no update on this thread for over a week now. We've reported repeatedly that we're still seeing gambling adverts all over the app, including on the addition support board which is really low. Please can this be dealt with?

That's pretty fucking disgusting tbh. I'm assuming gambling ads bring in a shit ton of money for MN which is why they're reluctant to let them go

And on gambling addition support threads.

And not just on main boards, still on the addiction support board too.

@BeckyAMumsnet @LilyMumsnet @JoMumsnet

Still seeing gambling adverts.

@JoMumsnet @BeckyAMumsnet @LilyMumsnet

Any chance of responding in a professional way to the issues raised by so many of us? It's such poor treatment of your users.

PLEASE STOP THAT SODDING MONOPOLY AD!!!!

Monopoly is back here too...

Annoying monopoly man and his dice back again 🙄

The Solitaire Cash one is there this morning.

Oh yes I'm seeing the Monopoly one still. I had forgotten it was gambling as the slot machine ones seem to be gone!

@BeckyAMumsnet @JoMumsnet @LilyMumsnet

The whole purpose of Site Stuff is to report issues & get a response from MN. You've completely failed to do that. I'm slightly glad though as I'm enjoying spending much less time on MN (despite occasional middle of the night forays!)

Not for me they haven't.

Well that's bullshit because I'm still getting the monopoly rolling dice one 🙄

That's funny Maggie, I too have started spending time on IG, (since stopping using MN as much) and that's utterly addictive!

Well on an occasional foray to the app today, there's a new ad for a game, with birds or something flying by. So still rubbish.

And MN have STILL ignored all the usability & accessibility comments made to them about the banner ads. @BeckyAMumsnet @JoMumsnet @LilyMumsnet really really poor not to update the thread

I actually want the ads to go, for all the reasons previously stated, plus now I'm not using mn on my phone anymore, I'm actually wasting MORE time getting into Instagram, for the first time ever 😂

FOUR WEEKS TODAY @mnhq

That's good, I wonder why they haven't shared that on the thread though?

So MN have told me they blocked the gambling ads and are continuing reviewing other ads. I've reinstalled the app to see what happens.

Yes @JaneJeffer.

I am hardly using Mumsnet now, but just came on to check on a specific, supportive thread that I'm part of and my battery has gone down by 40% in around 10 mins. (It normally takes most of the day to drop by that much!)

Mumsnet doesn’t care about our medical problems.

Is anyone else finding that the mobile site drains their phone battery?
