AIBU - what is it with the ads tonight?!

I’ve never had it before but literally ads on mumsnet covering the top half of the screen! Makes it really tricky to read on a phone.

Is it just me! AIBU? Anyone else having this problem today?

I had this on my phone but now switched to my iPad and don’t seem to be having the issue.

I had this earlier but seems to have stopped thank goodness.

@AlphabetStew

I've got a sentence. A whole sentence [smug]
Such an apt sentence!

I’m glad it’s not just my phone that’s haunted!

dipdye · 08/04/2022 02:59

Yup, same.

Amazon and Greta

Very, very irritating

LimeSegment · 08/04/2022 03:00

Yes and they are most obnoxious stuff. I know the ads are targeted but I swear I haven't searched anything like this!

dipdye · 08/04/2022 03:01

In fact I've just downloaded an adblocking browser. MUCH better.

Can I ask which one?

dipdye · 08/04/2022 03:02

Lol lime segment

Horrendous aren't they

PinkGlassEye · 08/04/2022 05:14

I dunno why anyone has this problem. Just use an ad blocker. Job done.

itsneilthebaby · 08/04/2022 06:00

Not sure what the cows are advertising either

What's annoying is they suddenly appear and can do so just as you are selecting a thread and instead you click on the ad.

Snoopfroggyfrogg · 08/04/2022 07:50

Still getting it! Can't see what I'm typing

SirChenjins · 08/04/2022 08:06

I’m still getting them too - so annoying

thislittlebird · 08/04/2022 08:07

I’m still having this issue too. Makes it impossible to read the threads!

thislittlebird · 08/04/2022 08:08

What a fantastic browsing experience :/

TabithaTittlemouse · 08/04/2022 08:09

The ads so big that I can’t even see what it’s advertising.

Adblock browser from the play store. You'll have to sign in to MN again but it was worth it
MistyGreenAndBlue · 08/04/2022 08:14

The ads don't usually bother me but these were driving me nuts 😂

myrtlehuckingfuge · 08/04/2022 08:19

Gwyneth Paltrow's face blocking everything for no discernable reason!! I can assure you MN, most of us came here to avoid the likes of GP. Shit, perhaps she did take over the world whilst I was trying to ignore her. I can't even see what I am posting now thanks to an ad for Laing O'Rourke and visitor parking. Hell's teeth, what have I been searching recently?
