To complain about the moving adverts on the sides of MN?

Every so often MN has moving adverts on the sides of the pages, there are some now.

I have migraines that are brought on by visual disturbances - and these adverts cause me to have migraines....

It means I can't read the pages that I want to as I have to click off them as quickly as possible.

Does this happen to anyone else?

YANBU. Sometimes I get some really awful ones, like teeth whitening ones. They're horrid! (My teeth look great btw :o)

if you are on a tablet or phone you are probably stuffed, the adblockers on those never seem to work. Adblockers on computers work quite well.

is there still an option to turn off graphics? That might also work.

The ones that open up to cover your page if you accidentally hover your mouse over them are the ones that really irritate me. And the ones with audio that make me jump when they start playing.

They're horrific, aren't they?

feellikeahugefailure · 10/03/2016 16:26

they all move!

CosyNook · 10/03/2016 17:16

I agree - really, really annoying

I guess you could complain directly to MNHQ if you re-posted this in Site Stuff www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff

MNHQ won't see your complaint here in AIBU, but they'll see it over there!

I'm on an iPhone and installed an ad blocker the other day after reading about it on here and I now have no adverts - yippee Smile
