Same. I've found them utterly intrusive in the last couple of weeks.

I've even noticed them sticking over peoples posts including my own, often if I come back to a thread I've bookmarked.

I suspect MN want us to pay to be ad free.

AlmostSummer21 · 05/06/2021 17:59

Gosh, given the price you pay, that's disgusting!

🙄🙄you could always start your own advert free website.

Would be nice if I didnt get a message on my phone constantly saying popup blocked. It only happens on mn.

The one that really annoyed me was the Soreen fruit bar ones. It seemed like I only had to look at the and for it to open up a in new page. Luckily I could calm my irritation by vowing never, ever to buy one of the annoying things.

I keep getting ones for gynaecology cl

greenalltheway · 05/06/2021 18:09

Ive got no issues with the ads in itself, I do have issue with an ad weirdly covering up posts I'm reading and constantly redirecting me... even a 'are you sure you want to leave the page ' notif would be mildly less annoying.

Posted too soon, sorry. Gynaecology clinics like speculae and lubricating gel from the Comfi range. I used to be a general practice nurse but the Practice ordered them in, not me individually so unless someone has a weird fetish then it seems most odd. Men's continence products too. Is it a hint to go back to nursing perhaps?

Why are you getting adverts? I downloaded the free ap and have never seen an advert yet
greenalltheway · 05/06/2021 18:20

@HalzTangz what?? How?? I'm on the iOS app.

This app defeats the adblocker I have installed.

Teach me your secret! Grin

Hahah! I've noticed the same - thought it was my sausage fingers! Have dozens of open pages on my phone for cruises at the end of each day. But the site is free and I enjoy spending way too much time here so I'm fairly meh about it Smile

Yes the chocolate biscuits ad was highly annoying considering I was on the weight loss page!

Viviennemary · 05/06/2021 20:41

Its annoying. But you can't run a website on fresh air. Other sites are far worse
