Its awful, fucks up the screen at the bottom and is too hard on the eyes. I get migraines at the best of times but I can see this making them worse.

I have always like the simple lay out of MN, user friendly, but with lots of info.

This is just awful! I dont know how much they have paid but it isnt enough!

Eurgh, yes i thought it was an error, i kept refreshing my screen! It looks shite Grin

cozietoesie · 25/11/2013 00:22

Completely agree. It's putting me off accessing the boards.

mummylin2495 · 25/11/2013 00:22

This is awful, please get rid of it

GoofyIsACow · 25/11/2013 00:23

Oh... Hang on... Is it an advert? I can only see the green, viewing through safari on ipad. I just noticed a tiny little bit of another colour on the left but it is only about 1mm Confused

mrsWast · 25/11/2013 00:24

why is the bottom of my screen pea-soup coloured? it's making me HUNGRY.

scurryfunge · 25/11/2013 00:25

What is it with the green sludgy stuff? Thought I had a fault.

Bogeyface · 25/11/2013 00:26

It's putting me off accessing the boards.

Me too. I am desperately messing about with settings to get rid of it, and the only way I can see is by going text only on my browser settings but I dont want to do that with every website, and it makes MN almost impossible to navigate.

It's horrible.

SecretWitch · 25/11/2013 00:37

Oh thank GOD! I thought I was the only one! Why?? Just why??

AmberLeaf · 25/11/2013 00:47

Came here to start a thread about this.

It is in the way, I like the left and right of my screen to be empty, it is easier to scroll that way.

Please get rid of it.

AmberLeaf · 25/11/2013 00:48

FFS

When I click on 'active' it takes me in a new tab to this;

www.mumsnet.com/microsites/organix

NarwhalKnickers · 25/11/2013 00:49

I have never tried this because I always access mn from a tablet anyway, but someone said you can use the mobile site on desktops...? No ads (apart from the occasional Google AdSense which are tiny and unobtrusive, and you can block them depending on browser) and clean interface without if affecting other sites.

AmberLeaf · 25/11/2013 00:50

Great, if I click on threads I'm on on the floaty bar it again takes me to the stupid organix page.

DPotter · 25/11/2013 00:53

The organix background is awful - too much flashing in my peripheral vision so realllllllly distracting. Get rid, get rid, get rid - please

Hear Hear

BaronessBomburst · 25/11/2013 00:55

It is ghastly. I'm logging out and going to bed. At least DH will be pleased.

Goldmandra · 25/11/2013 00:55

It's working though isn't it? You know the brand it's promoting and are talking about it on this thread.

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 25/11/2013 00:58

Also on Safari on iPad, didn't know it's an ad, thought it had summit to do with the being offline earlier today. Not impressed, and I doubt whether pfb1 (27 in Jan) or psb2 (23) would be interested...

BaronessBomburst · 25/11/2013 00:59

Yes, but all talk about and recognise Asda too. also not in a good way

Monty27 · 25/11/2013 00:59

Gold that is not the point.
