Laurapb88 · 12/03/2023 17:24

Yup. Frustrating. There another thread on MN alternatives

Mnhq clearly aren't listening to us

Laurapb88 · 12/03/2023 17:24

Oh sorry I didn't realise there was another thread surely they should listen though?

Just use an ad blocker. I don't see any ads at all now, just blank space.

PamDooove · 12/03/2023 17:27

Like like this with an ad blocker on.

Lots of complaints about this on Site Stuff threads. It's incredibly annoying.

Georgieporgie29 · 12/03/2023 17:28

Yes I’m getting a Mercedes one (definitely not in the market for a new car)
it’s really annoying

notsurewherenotsurewhy · 12/03/2023 17:30

Yeah agree. Plus with the 'sponsored content' appearing all over the place (feels like maybe 20% of threads listed in any given forum?).

I'd accept it all as the price paid for scrolling whilst not logged in but when I actually am logged in it annoys me.

Laurapb88 · 12/03/2023 17:31

They just asked me to book a hotel I've already booked for September lol its not so much the ad it's more not being able to remove it

Yep takes up half the page and is really annoying!

CameraCoffeeCrochet · 12/03/2023 18:08

Agreed!! It's getting worse.

UdoU · 12/03/2023 18:21

I don’t understand how ad blockers work on ipad? I have downloaded one and it didn’t seem to do amything?

OliveWah · 12/03/2023 19:26

I second using an Ad Blocker - I been using 'AdBlock' for years, it's really simple to use. There are a few sites which won't let you use them unless you allow the adverts, in which case you just click on the AdBlock symbol and give the site permission to show adverts either just this once, or every time you visit it.

beetr00 · 12/03/2023 19:31

totally free to use, an excellent adblocker 🙂

Laurapb88 · 12/03/2023 21:12

Oh thank you 😊 I'll give it a try I would miss mumsnet if I have to quit because of the silly ads

OP posts:
LadyKenya · 12/03/2023 21:19

The ads are beyond irritating. Why have they started doing this? I mean taking up the page.

Bucketheadbucketbum · 12/03/2023 21:23

Agreed its awful

Beyond annoying

Laurapb88 · 12/03/2023 21:57

Can't even read the replies 😂😂

It’s making the site unusable at the mo - I have a thread running in style which has also been picked up and used as an Ad. I don’t want to go back on it and bump it further, thus defeating the whole object of using the site. I’ve been here about 12 years, I promise I don’t usually moan, but this is ridiculous at the mo!

TheKeatingFive · 12/03/2023 22:02

Yeah I'm just logging off when they come up. Too distracting.

Laurapb88 · 12/03/2023 22:05

Moan away! It's beyond silly when it's actually stopping us using the site! Question is though why aren't they sorting it?
