Mine's started missing the line of text and jumping about, but only on MN and only in the last day or so. Quite annoying!

This has happened to me for as long as I've been using MN - I just roll the screen up and down and the letters appear. It does it on some other text-rich sites too - can't remember which.

My screen's been jumping though - which I presume is because of the pop-up ad (which I don't see - think the MSN pop-up blocker stops it).

hello everyone,
the overlay ad (the one with stitch in it) is due to come off tomorrow night, so all should be well after that.

sorry if it's been a pain
Cheers,
tech

We've asked tech to look into it and will hopefully be able to come back with some answers soon.

I think the techie team are looking into it. If you look at the link to the original thread (I posted it earlier) LeTech said they were having trouble replicating the problem at their end, which makes it difficult to solve.

I've had this as well and not changed or installed anything on PC, also had several crashes this week on mn but not anywhere else

my ad blocker (yahoo) was off ive just switched it on and the text is all readable now, thanks for the tip.

SaintGeorge · 26/05/2005 13:25

It's all very strange. I run Norton which has an ad blocker and a pop-up blocker. The pop-up blocker has stopped the stupid Disney stuff but it was playing around with the ad blocker that seemed to effect the text. Not sure what exactly the difference is between the two.

emmatmg · 26/05/2005 13:24

my ad blocker is on but I've just increased the level of blocker to see if that works...........it's still happens.

Weatherwax · 26/05/2005 13:23

Mine has been doing this for awhile I think it started just before the long thread titles, it was definitely happening before. My husband keeps putting different protection programs on the PC, I'd be worried about turning something off and then turning on the wrong thong! It is only a mumsnet site problem though for me.

Fimbo · 26/05/2005 13:19

My ad blocker is on as well.

WigWamBam · 26/05/2005 13:17

My ad blocker is on.

It's happened before, but not for ages; this time it seems to have been since that pop-up Disney ad started.

SaintGeorge · 26/05/2005 13:16

Can I ask if those who are having problems run any sort of advert blocking software?

I have had no problems but when I turned the ad blocker off for a few minutes, sure enough I had a jumpy screen and half lines of text. I have now switched the ad blocker back on and voila - no more problems.

emmatmg · 26/05/2005 13:08

still happening to me too and it's only been since the long threads here aswell.

Chandra · 26/05/2005 13:07

yhought? thought!

Chandra · 26/05/2005 13:07

Oh! I yhought it was my computer.... [puzzled emoticon]

yoyo · 26/05/2005 13:06

Same problem here too.

anorak · 26/05/2005 13:06

I get this sometimes.

NomDePlume · 26/05/2005 13:06

I thought it was my pc playing up !

Fimbo · 26/05/2005 13:05

Its doing it again to me today, especially when you are on active convos - any thread which runs into 2 lines is partially disappearing.

Fimbo · 26/05/2005 12:41

And me, only since the long thread titles tho'

anchovies · 26/05/2005 12:33

Think it may have come with the pop up ad?

MarsLady · 26/05/2005 12:32

I'm not convinced it was the long thread titles, but it has been happening for blimming ages.
