Huge adverts making site unusable

This is what I'm getting. Fills the entire screen of my android tablet (using Chrome). On every single thread - and on every bloody page!

Same here. Between this and the swiping into other threads I'm quickly being cured of my MN habit

I'm also having this issue. Can't remember the brand but it's freezing the browser and filling the screen. Android phone, Chrome browser.

I think the replies from HQ are disingenuous - you need to ban full page ads entirely if you don't want a mass exodus from MN. The brand is irrelevant.

Same for me
They are everywhere...

I'm still getting ads that are so large that I can't scroll past them, and end up accidentally clicking on them instead.

I get a Siemens ad that fills the page, and when you go to close it, it takes you to the Siemens site. The only way to get rid of it is to close Mumsnet and reopen.Both in Safari and Crome.

McCain spuds today for me 🙄

It’s been happening with a Bentley ad for me.

I'm not seeing a boots ad, but still having problems with a yours clothing one. It's the size and frequency that is causing the problem. Can you not just put limits on these?

It's starting to look as if this is just something that'll have to be expected if folk wish to use the site - after all the usual info HQ request has all been provided for previous ads and they're still appearing too, with new ones popping up all the time

I don't know if an adblocker would stop them and I'm reluctant to use one as that doesn't seem fair, but this is getting silly now

It's happening on most threads for me. I'm using the mobile site, Google Chrome on an android

Yep getting both red and blue boots ads on every thread even this one.

And ironically as soon as I posted that
up popped another one

They're bloody everywhere and every time this sort of thing happens you expect the users to screen shot and this that and the other
I never have issues like this on other sites
Maybe building a site and having decent tech support to prevent stuff like this would be more in keeping with a site with millions of users and loads of advertising revenue

Still getting them. All over today most recent one being whilst on Threads I'm On, and clicking onto the most recent one. ALso had the security warning one again today. It's not very confidence inspiring that you don't seem able to identify the problem and fix it.

The Boots one as well here. My whole screen freezes then goes blank and back to the beginning of the page. You have to scroll really quickly to miss it otherwise it fills the whole screen and you can’t move up or down!

I keep getting them, they make my phone screen freeze as I cant scroll past. Another one automatically plays the audio when I'm scrolling on a thread when I've got it set to not do that.

I have the Boots one too. Unable to scroll up or down

This is happening to me with a yours clothing advert. The same the advert has been shown 5 times just on this thread, and makes it impossible to scroll

The boots one makes the site unusable
seriously I do not have these issues with glitching and ads causing issues on any other site.

Yeah the boots advert, fills your whole screen. Happening this morning even on this thread.

Admittedly I'm completely hopeless with tech, but is anyone able to explain how this comes to happen in the first place - and then keeps happening?

I mean it's Mumsnet's own site, presumably under their control, so how come advertisers are apparently able to hijack it like this?

And the Amazon toddler walking toy. You can ever so gently scroll past itnbutnitsbjust waiting there for you to barely touch it and straight to the Amazon site. I must have been onto Amazon at least 25 times in the last two weeks. Very narrow block bar saying…scroll for content. Plus its pulses so even if you think you are touching black bar it moves and it’s onto Amazon
