On an iPad, not using the app. The only way to make them go away is to reload the page. What’s going on?

Hi again, and sorry for the delay here. We thought we'd resolved the NatWest ad issue but we're looking into it again now.

@NoCommentingFromNowOn and @EffectivelyDaydreaming please can you let us know where you're seeing the Boots ads - have they been appearing on multiple threads? If either of you can provide a screenshot so we can see how they're sitting on the page, that would be a big help. Thank you.

Morning, everyone. We've made a change that should have fixed this issue now. If anyone is still having problems with the Natwest ad, please let us know here.

People are letting you know, as you have requested.

Is that it? We let you know, and…..nothing?

NoCommentingFromNowOn · 06/03/2026 09:05

NatWest again.

@BeckyAMumsnet @HebeMumsnet @JoMumsnet Silence from you for 9 days. Are you aware this is still happening to multiple posters? Do you want to do anything about it?

EffectivelyDaydreaming · 05/03/2026 21:45

Boots doing it for me now. Ipad, safari, IOS 26.2.1

NoCommentingFromNowOn · 28/02/2026 02:21

Morning @Shedmistress. This one looks slightly different in that it's not covering the entire screen. Are you able to just close the ad using the 'x' at the top right of the ad? Or does it allow you to scroll past it?

No scrolling or closing. Only closing down the page works.

@HebeMumsnet @BeckyAMumsnet , sorry but it’s just started happening again

Thanks again, @NoCommentingFromNowOn - we're still working on this but will be back asap.

Thanks for posting these latest screenshots. We're looking into this and will be back with an update as soon as we can.

@HebeMumsnet / @BeckyAMumsnet Definitely NatWest , I clicked it today to get a clear picture. Today it’s happened every time I’ve tried to go on the winter Olympic thread

It’s NatWest, if I click on the purple side bits it opens a new tab with the NatWest homepage in it.

Thatsanotherfinemess1 · 19/02/2026 14:52

I'm still getting the black ad with purple sides, no idea what it's for as it completely locks the screen up if you press it

Shedmistress · 19/02/2026 05:08

This is how it looks in France. I suppose I can see some text so its not all that bad.

Try connecting to the site via DuckDuckGo.

Show quote history

I’m using that on my iPhone and it’s now going tits up in many other ways.

The bookmark function is buggered, for example.

No annoying ads though, thank goodness.

I keep getting this on my iPad

Me too, almost impossible to get rid of it!

Morning, all. We're having trouble replicating this and tracking down the ad that's causing the problem. Next time it pops up, if anyone could click on the ad itself and then post the url here, that would be really helpful. Thank you! Flowers

Here's a screenshot.
