Same. Also getting the migraine inducing moving ads with sound at the top of the page.

Morning everyone. We've made a change that we help will solve the problem with those M&S ads. However, we can see some of you are having the same issue with other ads too. Could anyone who's experiencing this please post screenshots of the ads in question, or URLs, and we'll see if we can fix those, too. Thanks!

Will do!

Hello @Tiddlywinks63 can we please check if that's the video player? If so are you able to click on the x?

@BeckyAMumsnet on mine it is a video & I can't use the x.

the one that's bothering me more is the one that emits a horrible noise (squeal?) I can't actually tell which advert it is, but it's terrible especially when it's so quiet at night then this kicks of.

Happened to me yesterday too and there was no way of closing the ad or reporting it so I rage quit MN instead.

BoxingHare · 16/03/2026 09:12

I'm also getting huge ads like this, and they're a variety of ads, not M&S.

There's no x to click, you have to wait till it goes then scroll down and another one pops up.

I'm on my laptop currently using Firefox.

Not just safari either, I was using a different browser.

Huge video M&S ads taking over the screen - on a MacBook using Safari. It's been happening for a few days - very annoying
There is no 'x' to click

I'm getting these ridiculous huge video ads too, and there's no X to click on. They're not for M&S for me, they're for what looks like melodramatic AI-generated soap operas.

I'm on a laptop, using Safari (which also keeps freezing and crashing whever I use MN, probably because of these ads).

anyolddinosaur · 15/03/2026 14:55

I imagine this is the M&S add which is making the site virtually unusable. Especially annoying when it is feminism and M&S is on the boycott list.

As for the "x" - not visible and clicking in where you might expect it to be just brings up the add.
