What is this join our 'whitelist' thing which keeps trying to load on every page of MN?

[Laiste]

And how do i stop it? Anyone else suddenly got it today?

It's taking up a big strap line acoss the top of the page and is annoying. Using laptop.

Have this today also. I don't have adblock and then these massive big ads come halfway down the page and block out the options such as Active and I'm on so you can't click on them.

And NoScript.

It's a wonder i can see anything

Hopefully someone will see this soon and DO something. Please?

Yep. It seems to have just started today. Right pain in the neck.

I've got it and I do use an ad block....but am not going to give it up! MN can tell their advertisers I go by other user's reviews, not interested in ads for stuff I dont use

Bumping.

It's still there and still annoying.

Laiste There are threads in site stuff about it. Mn said they were trying to fix it this afternoon, but still there

site stuff thread

Thank you v much clown.

I don't use "Adblock" but I block most ads by another method.
I'm seeing the 'whitelist' notice.

Blocking ads makes my laptop battery last much longer.
It makes MN threads load in a reasonable amount of time.
It means that slow loading MN pages don't make my entire laptop freeze up & make any web browsing impossible.

So either I block ads or I won't come on MN at all, any more. it is that simple.

Since I am the product, because I post here a lot, I donate plenty of original content. I have zero guilt.

I'm using ad block and I see the message but no spinny thing.

I would whitelist MN (as I do other sites) if the ads weren't so ridiculously intrusive.

Getting it here too . Assumed it's ads. I'd rather watch the swirly thing than ads for nappies, Aunt Bessies, Fairy Liquid, etc

Shouldn't have to have either though kath. Grrr.

MN have been asking who's getting what on the thread that clown linked to. We can pop over there to register annoyance.

It's driving me to distraction...! I'm off to the other thread....

Bumping again.

It's still there!

But running ad block still leaves me with the silly whirly thing and the wide white space blocking the top of the page .

Eh? If everyone blocks the ads then mumsnet will.have no advertising revenue and shut down! The ads are a necessary evil.

I have Ad Block and I get the spinning thing at the top of the page for a few seconds and then it disappears.

I agree that ads are a necessary evil usually but the massive ones at the bottom of threads were a step too far for me, and since they wanted to keep them I'm keeping Adblock

fraudian how do i do that? In ad block?

I can't click on anything on the whirly circle strap line.

I understand how advertising works, but when the ad (or the blank space where the ad would be if you've got ad blocker) is blocking half the darn page a lot of people are going to be put off using a site.

Right .... hang on ...
