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%.

Happened to me too today.

Allywill · 24/05/2024 15:36

Me too safari on iPad - massive flashing ad making site un usable.

Treelichen · 24/05/2024 15:29

This is making the site unusable on my iPad

Thanks very much Lougle and MILTOBE - hopefully we'll have this ad blocked very soon.

MILTOBE · 24/05/2024 14:40

Sorry, I messed up that edit a bit.

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.

Thanks for posting that URL, RedDiamond - that should help us to get this ad blocked.

We're really sorry for all the disruption this is causing. We'll be back with an update as soon as we can.

MrsTomRipley · 24/05/2024 10:14

Yes I'm getting it again, the annoying thing is I can't get rid of it, whereas with other ads I can

FeralNun · 24/05/2024 07:37

Dear God in heaven, make it stop!

This was reported yesterday morning - why on Earth haven’t you fixed it? Absolutely mind boggling.

TheSuperbOwl · 24/05/2024 06:10

Still there. Using chrome on android tablet.

Treelichen · 23/05/2024 22:01

Yep just had this flashing

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 23/05/2024 21:10

I’m getting this too - horrible flashing as well . Safari on iPad

Still happening

HideTheCroissants · 23/05/2024 19:37

Still happening!

TheQuietOneWithBadHair · 23/05/2024 19:05

Just came on to mention this. The flashing is hideous! I took a video but can’t post it here.

edited to say it flashes bigger then smaller over and over

Still happening. It's awful.

lcakethereforeIam · 23/05/2024 16:48

Third time it's happened to me today, latest was just now 😠

Fink · 23/05/2024 16:05

I've got the same on Firefox and Chrome. It's flickering madly over a good third of the screen on every new thread I read (not on any threads I'm already on). So annoying!

HurdyGurdy19 · 23/05/2024 15:46

I've just had the same, on two different threads.

I'm using Microsoft Edge browser

ElBandito · 23/05/2024 14:55

On mine it blocks the posts and flickers horribly.
