How do I get rid of it?

It blocks the whole screen, and I can't read any of the threads.

I think I am getting the same, but it’s just a big black box!

Had this before in the past and reported it to HQ, can’t remember how though!

Same here - it's blocking the first half of the page so the most current threads - WTF!?

mrswhiplington · 19/04/2022 15:07

Same - no idea how to get rid of it.

Mollypolly2610 · 19/04/2022 15:28

cant read the start of threads with it - so annoying

ive just posted this on site stuff, sooooooo annoying, only glimpsed the OP's post and the bloody thing has blocked the page!

JohnMcCainsDeathStare · 19/04/2022 15:34

I no sooner clicked on this thread and there it was! Almost comic timing!

ratspeaker · 19/04/2022 15:34

It’s so annoying.
It’s lurking there
No I don’t want to rotate my iPad
No I don’t want to see your ad
I just wanted to scroll and have a wee neb.

Just went away enough for me to post this but the number of threads I’ve given up on today is too many to count
I’m giving up

I didn't realise ad blocker was such a secret. Google "ad blocker" and add a free extension, or pay a fiver, or a tenner, whatever you like. I installed one for nothing years ago on Chrome and I never have these ads. I hate ads and never watch them.

MrsDamonSalvatore · 19/04/2022 15:37

Aaaaah! I have exactly the same issue. Very annoying. No X to close the stupid advert. I have to leave the site to get rid of it. Sort it out @mumsnet! Next time I have to leave to exit a bloody advert I might not come back!

PinkBuffalo · 19/04/2022 15:37

Getting this too

Sodding North Face pop up advert!
Snugglepumpkin · 19/04/2022 15:39

I don't know if it's the same advert, but when I try to read a thread I can't see the beginning as some mans neck appears at the top of the screen & wipes out nearly half the desktop space covering the first few posts.
He might be wearing North Face.
I have to close the page to escape the giant neck so who knows what brand his coat is.

whosaidth1 · 19/04/2022 15:42

I'm so annoyed!!! Like why??? Its also on my home page where I read the news :/

MrsDamonSalvatore · 19/04/2022 15:43

I’ve just enabled pop up blocker on my iPad to get rid of it…. But it’s come back again! How did that happen? Very invasive. Does it make me want to buy the product? Absolutely not. Angry

MrsEdnaWelthorpe · 19/04/2022 15:48

God I'm getting it too and it's making Mumsnet virtually unusable

Have just emailed North Face to let them know they aren't going to attract much business by annoying people so much...
