Good morning

One of your ads is huge and covering up the OP's post on this thread https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/ami_being_unreasonable/5080852-to-sell-my-house-and-try-and-get-a-council-house-to-think-im-too-poor-to-own

I'm using the website with Chrome Browser on a laptop - I've checked the zoom and I'm at 100%.

Hi all,

Sorry that this has returned.
Links and screenshots are really helpful - we'll look at blocking now.

WeAllHaveWings · 06/06/2024 12:48

Back here too can't get rid of it to read the thread (laptop, windows 11, chrome)

On mine it blocks the posts and flickers horribly.

Me too. I have to close down the page. Normally computer with Firefox

Lougle · 24/05/2024 14:11

The biggest issue is that you can't actually close the ad - there is no close or X or anything to get rid of it.

Same thing's happening to me (also on website/chrome browser),

Pressing F5 or refresh seems to clear it so you can carry on reading the post, at least.

ElBandito · 03/06/2024 19:54

Guess who's back...

4 days in a row this has stopped me using the site. I’ve posted on multiple threads in site stuff. Tried tagging people using @mumsnet. No response.

I’m getting the big black “please rotate your device one”. I’m using Safari on iPad.

RedDiamond · 30/05/2024 08:59

The ruddy advert is now on the main page!!!! It's the Minecast one again.

JewelleryCat · 29/05/2024 14:54

Just happened now on this thread https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/5084579-sister-just-had-some-guy-walk-into-her-hotel-room?page=8

Morning, everyone. We've blocked some more of these ads this morning.

If you see it anywhere again, please send us the url on this thread and we can block any new iterations.

DawnMumsnet · 27/05/2024 14:37

Unfortunately it's beyond me personally - I have trouble with the Sky remote these daysBlush

But we're doing our best to get these ads blocked and will let you know as soon as we have an update on this. In the meantime we're really sorry for the disruption they're causing.

It’s back! Honestly, surely fixing this is not beyond you @DawnMumsnet ?

Still happening, very annoying

Scruffily · 27/05/2024 08:50

Still happening today.

Treelichen · 26/05/2024 21:22

Still happening.

MrsTomRipley · 26/05/2024 17:44

Still getting it, it covers 60% of the screen

pointythings · 26/05/2024 15:15

I've had it several times since yesterday, different contenet but same format and provider. Refreshing the page gets rid, but honestly, get it blocked!

Missingthesea · 26/05/2024 12:18

Yep, I've just had it again! Microsoft Edge on laptop.

BishyBarnyBee · 24/05/2024 16:59

Came on to post and found others are having the same issues. No X on the ad to close it. Making the site almost unusable.

JewelleryCat · 24/05/2024 16:53

Just happened to me, Safari on iPad. It flickers bigger and smaller and it’s that minecast like others

Lilacdew · 24/05/2024 16:31

I'm on a Macbook using Safari if that is relevant.

Lilacdew · 24/05/2024 16:31

It's still up, huge and flickering insanely half way across my computer screen, blocking threads. The flickering is very aggressive. It is impossible to focus on anything else while it's visible.
