Can you sort this please? Pic attached.

Seriously, switch to an advert-free browser for MN like DuckDuckGo. There’s loads of us doing it now. It’s free to download the app. No more ads, freezing, overheating, etc.

I thought MN had blocked browsers like that. You have to pay or put up with this crap.

PickAChew · 13/10/2025 15:42

Another one.

Aaah, is the overheating linked to the ads too? I was wondering why my phone screen was boiling hot the other day...

Hello, and thanks to everyone who’s sent through screenshots and especially to those who’ve managed to capture screen recordings. We really appreciate it.
We’re looking into this as a priority and we’re sorry it’s affecting your ability to read threads. We're in the process of fixing the issue now.

Thanks again for your patience while we get this sorted,

LaChouette · 13/10/2025 14:41

it gets even better @BeckyAMumsnet .
I am not a sensitive soul, but I don't want this kind of message at the top of my pages!

PirateDays · 13/10/2025 13:52

Same here too, had to keep backing out of threads and back in again.

Seeline · 13/10/2025 13:33

This is ridiculous - it's every bloody thread. And now it's happened on my Active Threads screen too!

@BeckyAMumsnet @HebeMumsnet ???

@BeckyAMumsnet @HebeMumsnet

Please can you provide an update? The site is practically unusable. See attached image - the ad obscures most of the screen and can't be closed and can't be scrolled past. The bit showing the OP post in green at the bottom is the only bit that scrolls, so I'm effectively reading through a letterbox.

Happyapplesanspears · 13/10/2025 09:50

Same here and it’s not with the same advert each time.

Roseshavethorns · 13/10/2025 09:50

The top banner advert keeps expanding to take up virtually the whole screen.
It's not just one advert it keeps changing.

Seeline · 13/10/2025 09:45

@HebeMumsnet - any ideas?

DappledThings · 13/10/2025 09:40

Also getting a massive one that just takes up the entire page. Something about rings.

countrygirl99 · 13/10/2025 09:35

I'm getting it to. Something about cycling holidays.

FuckedOffWithTheLotOfThem · 13/10/2025 09:21

I'm also getting a massive white space advert that takes up all the screen except a small window at the bottom. There's no cross to click on to get rid if it and it doesn't time out on its own. The only way of getting rid is to exit the thread, but it comes back when you return to the thread. The ad appears to be about fostering? Screenshot attached.

It's making the site unusable.

It was on the Graham Linehan thread:

I'm also getting this massive white ad space with no cross and no image but no text about fostering. I think one text I had was a holiday company and the others I can't remember. Different companies though. Makes MN unusable.

vodkaredbullgirl · 13/10/2025 09:29

Same here 😖

Brainstorm23 · 13/10/2025 09:27

Another person seeing this. No way to scroll or close. Infuriating.

I'm getting this tonight, a prostate cancer full white page making the site even more unusable, adverts everywhere.

Android - Chrome- won't be clicking random pop up adverts to get url.

Edit - this is not a scrolling advert, as you can see from screen shot - advert too big for the screen, no way to remove it unless you navigate away from the page you are on.

Edited

I just came on to this thread to say that's exactly the experience I'm getting today.

I can't read the thread I'm interested in because it jumps to a big white advert screen filling the whole page and there is no way to get rid of it.

Absolutely infuriating.

Same here. Site is essentially unusable.

feellikeanalien · 13/10/2025 09:14

I'm getting it too. A blank white screen with a few words at the top about walks in Wales or Elizabeth Arden. No way of getting rid of it without coming out of the page. I'm on my android phone on the Chrome browser. I'm now giving up because it's too infuriating.

Keep getting on the mobile site (chrome, miti phone).
There is no cross to click. I can't tell you what the ad is for - it's impossible to read.
I am left with the bottom centimeter of screen to read the thread. It has happened numerous times in the last 15 minutes, in a variety of threads.

Yet another issue making MN impossible to use!

Please click on the image - it's not completely blank!!

Frannyisreading · 13/10/2025 08:49

Same for me, using chrome on a google pixel. Big white ad covering screen, nowhere to click off. Making the site unusable but luckily this thread doesn't have the ad on!

HauntedHero · 13/10/2025 08:48

I've got something about supply chains...
