To hate this new thing at the top of mums net

[callmeadoctor]

Hate hate hate it, why oh why have things been messed with? I was happy before!!! (The we rely on advertising to keep the lights on)

Surely it is no more intrusive than the adverts.

It's more intrusive because it covers the bar with the "I'm on" etc

I didn't notice the lights on thing until I saw someone else commenting on it, but I can't be arsed with the massive advert at the top which cover at least half the screen! I was brought up by my DM not to "be a victim of advertising" so I don't even know what is being advertised!

Best writing this in site stuff then.

It's definitely more intrusive because it covers up what you are on and then goes away. Even when you are looking at the topics it covers them up.

I think people will get fed up and not bother. The ones to the side are ok because they don't cover things and are static.

There are a few threads on Site Stuff www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff about this at the moment. Take your pick from any of them - and join in!!

Not just me then.

Until recently I had an ad blocker installed and then had to uninstall because it kept killing Chrome. It was only after that I noticed this annoying one at the top of the page and I assumed it must have always been there and I was only just seeing it for the first time because no ad blocker.

It is very intrusive. I can live with the ones down the side but this does seem to obscure some of the controls I want to see

Hear Hear, OP! It's infuriating that it blocks the view as you're reading something so you have to spend extra time fiddling your device controls to get back to the bit you were originally at!

The adverts are intrusive, hence everyone using adblocker.

I assumed that's why I don't see it at all.

I only installed one because they kept crashing the site on my iPad.
