Is anyone else being bombarded by ads for 18+ websites? These ads are coming up in every thread dotted throughout the posts.

@KellyMumsnet post a screenshot and tell us where you are seeing the ad that will help us get this sorted a bit quicker

With all due respect you always write this. On every single thread with complaints like this, that is your stock answer.

You've already had 18 screenshots, how many more do you want?

Why is it up to us to take screenshots of these adverts? Why don’t you all log on and take your own screenshots?

This is for @JoMumsnet and @LilyMumsnet and everyone else.

I genuinely can’t understand why you have so little control over this site 😵‍💫.

No other website I go on has the problems you seem to have.

They are still there, some of the girls look really young too.

RumNotRun · 08/06/2026 15:06

@KellyMumsnet they're on this thread, at the top of the screen so permanently on show.

I’ve been getting this ad too for the last couple of days..it’s popping up every 5 comments or so, on every topic I read.. is there any chance we could have just some normal run of the mill ads, which don’t involve selling sex or promoting some awful game depicting animal killing?

Thanks @NoCareNoFair . If you (or anyone else still seeing them) could post a screenshot and tell us where you are seeing the ad that will help us get this sorted a bit quicker. Thanks again. Flowers

Morning, everyone. We're working on this as we speak and are hopeful we'll have these ads completely blocked very soon. Thanks for your patience with it. We'll update once the issue is completely resolved.

@JoMumsnetis anything being done about these? Its all I have on my ads for the last 2 days and its actually getting ridiculous now because these kinds of sites are something I have huge issue with so I certainly dont want to constantly be seeing ads.

I just saw this one on GCSE thread

I am getting this ad constantly and its really getting annoying, is there no way to get rid of it?

twilightcafe · 07/06/2026 19:17

I'm going to uninstall the app. Can't be doing with seeing that gross advert.

Still appearing, and on this thread too. Really annoying. They sometimes seem to change to something normal, pics of the same add a few seconds apart.

Exactly the same with me!

Yes I am getting these. I was previously one of the "you must have been searching for porn" types so I apologise! Def not here.

Meredusoleil · 07/06/2026 05:21

Just seen another one. Young girl with tongue sticking out!

thatsmynamethief · 07/06/2026 04:07

Was just going to start a thread on this! They're on everyone of my threads. Ridiculous.

Yup I've had all three females today on my feeds. How do we report each one?

Endofyear · 06/06/2026 19:06

Still seeing these ads on the app! What is going on?

Sunshineandgrapefruit · 06/06/2026 14:01

They weren't there for me this morning but back again! Is this some form of malware? Do we need to worry?

astrakan · 06/06/2026 09:38

I am still seeing them. Interestingly, I did not start seeing them today until after I opened this thread though
