Annoying gap/Wowcher

83 replies

TiggyD · 04/02/2013 06:48

On some threads I get a huuuuuuge gap between the thread title and the first post. There is also a one line advert for wowcher just above the first post. Is it just an annoying ad not working or my problem?

I dont have it at the moment, but it happens a lot, i also get it in my active convos list, massive blank screen until you scroll down

Allalonenow · 04/02/2013 06:54

I'm getting this also, what to do?

FruOla · 04/02/2013 06:55

Same for me Tiggs. In fact the gap was so huuuge that I thought all the posts had completely disappeared and that MN was broken again.

CloudsAway · 04/02/2013 07:06

yes just got that this morning! Very very annoying.

FruOla · 04/02/2013 07:07

I meant to add, that annoying ad for Wowcher is on all of those threads with the big gap for me too.

ClaimedByMe · 04/02/2013 07:11

I've got this too, I just thought it was because I was on the iPad!

Seems like a legal advert that's gone wrong. MNHQ techy person will have to stay sober today.

I have this too, very annoying.

ticolac · 04/02/2013 08:53

Me too, on iPad

Primrose123 · 04/02/2013 08:55

I've just had it too.

Trills · 04/02/2013 09:10

Yep.

Chrome, Windows 7 laptop, etc.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 04/02/2013 09:24

Me too, Mac and Safari. Very annoying.

HeathRobinson · 04/02/2013 09:26

Yep, me too.

Allice · 04/02/2013 09:28

Me too, on Google Chrome, thought that Mumsnet was broke and panicked that I'd have to do housework!

RedJeans · 04/02/2013 09:29

Get google chrome and then the app called AdBlocker!! Gets rid of all advertising on websites, its amazing! I dont have any ads on the side or top of the display anymore

everybodysang · 04/02/2013 09:30

I do too on Chrome on a mac, it's so annoying.

Artemis206 · 04/02/2013 09:31

Same here, it's happening mainly on chat threads and I'm on an iPad.

HazeltheMcWitch · 04/02/2013 09:32

It's also messing up bookmarks - you go to your spot, then it suddenly lurches when the gap appears. Grrr.

Re chrome - is it ok on a mac?

Trills · 04/02/2013 09:33

It might relate to the length of the thread title...
