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?

Yep, I've got chrome on a mac

twolittlemonkeys · 04/02/2013 09:36

Yep what's that about? It's been bugging me today! (I'm on a laptop, using Opera) The ads down the side are bad enough, but big ads under the thread title might be enough to push me over the edge today

(thanks RedJeans. And everybodysang, who psychically answered question before I'd even posed it!)

caramelwaffle · 04/02/2013 09:39

Me also.

Did an extensive test and found it only did it on "chat" threads for me.

No problem! Honestly, couldn't recommend AdBlock enough, absolutely changed my experience of the internet completely for the better, haha! Never realised quite how annoying adverts were before. And it blocks popups too

Lifeisontheup · 04/02/2013 09:55

Please make it go away, otherwise I might have to do my essay. Grin

AnyFucker · 04/02/2013 09:56

same here, on threads I started

Just wanted to say that I use Adblock on my lap top too but I turn it off to use MN.

I like MN very much want them to stay in business. If that means having a few adverts on my screen and clicking the odd one now and then I think it's a pretty small price to pay.

RandallPinkFloyd · 04/02/2013 09:58

I like MN very much and* want them to stay in business - is how that ^^ should read.

Ah good. I was going to come and have a good ol' whinge about this, but MNHQ are onto it.

Henceforth I shall remember Wowcher as the brand that fucked up MN. I'm sure they'll be happy to know that Grin

hellhasnofurylikeahungrywoman · 04/02/2013 10:19

And me. I have adblocker installed but it's not catching this one, it's driving me mad. Google Chrome here.

BillericayDickie · 04/02/2013 10:24

glad it isn't just me

foxache · 04/02/2013 10:29
