Boots shite

[TheConstantLurker]

can we not have a thread which just a huge advert or Boots please.
First I got a survey about Boots- would you go to Boots to get advice? No, not really.
Next thing there are lots of little ads for the new "Boots Feel Good Forum"
now we have a sticky for it and really it's a massive advert for Boots with some adverts for sun products thrown in.
I realise MN will be being paid for this and it's a way of earning but it's very annoying to have it dressed up as a thread and all feel good and helpful (not)

How are the side ads getting through my Adblock anyway?

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Every side ad I've clicked on has been accidental, and I immediately shut the ad down when it opens. Is this still counted as a "success"?

[PlentyOfPubeGardens]

Queen, I had to right click on it and then choose 'Block with Adblock'

[PlentyOfPubeGardens]

Has it gone? The blue background's disappeared. Tentative

We've moved the page takeover to the Talk Home page now.

Re: Adblock, I had the blue background (back to white this minute) but no ads, presumably Adblock did it for me? I never explicitly hid them this time but I think I may have done a lot of hiding (thereby 'training' adblock) the very first time the side ads appeared for a different campaign.

Much better MNHQ

[MardyBra]

That's better. Thanks Helen.
I don't use the talk homepage much. But Active Convos and Threads I'm On are a different matter.

[PlentyOfPubeGardens]

Thank you!

[PlentyOfPubeGardens]

Maybe you should just put it on baby sleeping bags, it wouldn't upset many people there

(I would have suggested Local Dummy but that section seems surprisingly popular)

I've just ventured onto my pc and it's awful.

Sorry MN but I'm really uncomfortable about a link with Boots as it is and this is too much for me. I'll have to stick to the app or find somewhere else to hang out :(

[Jins]

Also - and this is realy important to me - I only ventured onto my pc to hide the Boots radio topic. I can't see it on the list

How do I hide the Boots topic please?

[SoupDragon]

Those big side ads have disappeared on my Macbook now.

[Fluffycloudland77]

I'd like boots slightly more if all their own brand products had BUAV approval, like superdrug do. I luffs superdrug.

Boots treat their staff like shite.

[MardyBra]

Fuck me. It's bloody Specsavers now.

[TheConstantLurker]

Buy this and we make money=advertising
Come and have a lovely girly chat about make up tips as featured recently on the Boots shite Feel Good Forum=the epitome of irritating shite masquerading as Mumsnet helpfulness.

P.S. Thanks for entering me for the free book to review after the date had expired. One is on it's way to me. Yippee.
