Yes, I've just come on to moan about this.

For example, first thread I Opened today was a very sensitive thread in relationships. Two or three posts in there is an ad for bloody Groupon in the middle of the thread in between the responses - it looks terrible, and whilst I'm not usually one to have a grumble about changes (and have stuck to classic in silent protest Wink), I really think that this is a step too far.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Ad Block Plus.

AtYourCervix · 22/08/2011 20:35

i have in built ad blocker - my brain just doesn't see them

Mobile , no really, you can't see them?

OP posts:
MrsPlesWearsAFez · 22/08/2011 21:15

It's on the mobile version, therefore can't ad block.

RunningOutOfIdeas · 22/08/2011 21:27

I don't like these ads either. Is it only on the mobile version?

MrsPlesWearsAFez · 22/08/2011 21:33

screenshot here for those of you who haven't had this wonderful experience yet.

Seems like it may only be on the mobile version, which I use far more often than the desktop as I MN on the go.

LawrieMarlow · 22/08/2011 21:35

They are annoying me (have adblocker on computer but not on phone). Please get rid of them.

AtYourCervix · 22/08/2011 21:50

that is shit and very much netmumsesque.

redlac6 · 22/08/2011 21:53

I agree that they are shite. Please get rid.

SomethingBlue · 22/08/2011 21:55

I was also Shock at this. They're crap, and very disruptive.

Firepile · 22/08/2011 22:00

Glad it's not just me. Really not good.

rumpleteaser · 22/08/2011 22:00

Ah didn't see them on laptop now on the phone I have ads. I don't like them and I never click on anything like ads on my phone.
If I wanted to sign up for offers or buy something I DEFINITELY wouldn't do it on my phone where I'm not sure how secure it would be.
I reckon a lot of people would be the same. There are already ads on full version mn (not mobile) which people will click on if interested.
Ads on mobile version is surely pointless and takes up extra space on the already tiny screen.

ObviouslyOblivious · 22/08/2011 22:01

They've been bugging me today too.

pamplemousserose · 22/08/2011 22:01

Wank.

MatthewWrightOffTheTelly · 22/08/2011 22:03

Yes, totally shit. I appreciate MNHQ have a biscuit bill to pay but this is a bridge too far IMO Angry

And now they are back!

redlac · 12/09/2011 18:06

Boo! They are back - please get rid MNHQ

MrsPlesWearsAFez · 12/09/2011 19:34

Did you really think that we wouldn't notice?

Not happy at all. As I've already pointed out, it is completely crass to do this on sensitive threads. Really not on.

If you're so desperate for money I'd much rather pay to use the site than have to put up with ads in the middle of threads.
