Ads making mumsnet almost unusable?

[AliceAbsolum]

Now there is a giant ad on mobile view covering the top half of the page!
One was for animal rights in Australia, the others seem to be Ross from friends with a variety of different women.You can't even click them off.
Incredibly annoying. Do MN not worry it'll stop people using the site?

How about the ones for tanning shops, I mean really?

That's odd, I don't get that on my phone, no ads on this thread at all

Yeah I’ve been getting these on my phone. Take up literally half the page, really stupid photos and can’t get rid. They’re actually worse than seeing salmon and carrots mushed up repeatedly and I never thought I’d say that.

Cant actually read a thread properly and forget about posting. Cant see the box!

gogohm Do you have mumsnet premium? If so then that's why.

I was going to start a thread aboit this last night! So annoying!

I was just thinking this. It feels a lot like I'm being strong armed into paying for premium.

Not cool Mumsnet. And in my case, likely to backfire.

Can't see posts box when writing now at all. Doing this one blind.

There's a long thread about this on Site Stuff.
Mumsnet have commented ..We're trying to get some answers as to why this happening and have passed on your feedback.

Yeah I thought clearing my Cookies last night would have got rid of them, but apparently not!
It's awful, and you can't even tell what the adverts are for?! Currently got a cute but MASSIVE sheep covering this message as I type

Ugh yes I have a piggy taking up half the screen now. Really annoying. Plus half the time I am happily reading a thread and the page reloads at the top. Not sure if that is a mumsnet thing or a my phone thing but has only started happening recently.

I don’t mind ads if they keep the site free but these ones are just too massive.

The one I've got in this thread is a red carpet photo, I clicked on it and it didn't even go anywhere. Pointless!

Yeah, I've just had to turn on adblock for MN as otherwise it was unusable.

Oh yeah I can barely type this because half of my screen is a pig. Might move over to Reddit for a while.

Same . Really annoying seeing Gwyneth Paltrow and a big building all over the screen.

It's bloody annoying. Currently got a massive and with two women on a cruise ship grinning like Cheshire cats. Glad for them they're having the time of their lives!

I haven't got this specific problem but for months now I've had threads jumping all over the place (and back again) related to ads. I keep reporting it on site stuff but nothing has changed so far.

I also have the pig. Agree difficult to read posts now.

Argh thought it was just me! Pleased and dismayed to see it isn’t. It does make MN unusable. If it continues I don’t think I will be able to use the site anymore.

Yes, that keeps happening to me too while I’m in the middle of reading a post. So annoying!

Equally annoying is now when I bookmark a thread, it doesn’t always work. Sometimes it fails to work at all, other times it bookmarks the page but not the post so I have to scroll down looking for where I was. It used to work perfectly 🤷🏻‍♀️

But yes please Mumsnet get rid of those huge ads.

Agree - have been getting the same and it’s ridiculous. Makes it completely unusable, will stop me using it if this continues.

Quite liking the Animals Australia ones highlighting cruelty. The others are annoying.

There’s one with a pig looking at me now which is so annoying. I’ve finally stopped seeing them banging on about joining MN Premium as that was getting on my tits 😆

I’ve got 2 huge cows! Glad to know it’s not just me.

Stupid thing is I can’t even see the actual ad that’s pinned, only the ridiculous picture. No idea what it even is so it’s completely pointless.
