Adverts in mobile site

Have the adverts in the mobile site changed to being along the top and 'floating' as you scroll down the page? I thought they were changed to being distributed through the page, every 6 or so threads. I find it really annoying to have them at the top of the screen constantly.

Hi EGBDF,

They haven't deliberately been changed, no.

We have flagged this problem to our Tech team and they're on the case. Can we just ask, are you using an iPhone by any chance?

Rats. So it's not just the iPhone then ...

Thanks for all the details. We'll hopefully have this sorted before too long.

In the meantime, we know it's a pain and we're really sorry. Flowers

Hello all,

Sorry to send conflicting messages but there was a small misunderstanding on Monday night. The advert at the top and scrolling with the page is a deliberate change. However, it should not float around the middle of the screen nor cover your message box. We fixed that asap at the beginning of the week so hopefully no one is experiencing that now.

As some of you know we've been trying out different ways of advertising on Mumsnet mobile. We do need to take adverts and we're trying to find a way of balancing the need to include adverts and highlight other mumsnet content and not wanting to interfere with mumsnetting.

We've tried out two ways so far, the fixed scrolling ad at the top and the ads in between posts. The reactions have been very evenly split and now we're trying fixed again for a short time to measure impact.

We'll also be trying some ways of showcasing other content which we hope people will find useful or interesting over the next couple of weeks.

As ever we're really interested in your feedback so any thoughts are welcome.

Hi ophiotaurus

We're really sorry this issue is driving you away from the mobile site. Sad

We'll see what our Tech team have to say and report back asap.
