"You have a message" with a red flashing envelope. It's giving me a headache - literally. And ids on the top of every third thread I open. I much prefer adverts in the body of the text.

Hi both,
Sorry about that. We'll get rid!

Hi there,
Sorry about this - we'll give our Tech folk another prod and see what's what.
AmyMumsnet · 15/12/2014 17:30
Hi folks,
We're still working on getting rid of the ad, but our tech guys have to find it before they can zap it, so it's just a case of waiting for it to pop up again.
Rest assured we haven't forgotten about it!

@SorrelForbes
Thanks for catching that one, Sorrel, we'll flag it to our Tech folk.
Sorry for all the faff, everyone.

Sorry folks - now we've got the link that the ad goes through to we should hopefully be able to zap this now. (The link makes it much easier to find - without that it can be a bit needle-in-haystack)
ChristmasKateMumsnet · 18/12/2014 17:58
Sorry folks - we know it must be a pita. We'll get on it now.
RowanMumsnet · 19/12/2014 09:40
Right then - our ad team say they've now (they think) tracked down each and every version of this. (There were lots of them, which is why it took so long - each time we thought we'd blocked it, it turned out there was another version burbling away.)
So we really hope we've got it now. The block will take a few hours to take effect but if you're still seeing this from Friday afternoon onwards, please let us know and we'll get hunting for it again.
Many apologies that this has taken so long.
RowanMumsnet · 19/12/2014 16:59
oh AAARGH dear. We will alert the ad team again. Thanks for flagging.
RowanMumsnet · 19/12/2014 17:37
OK just a quick update: this ad is coming from multiple sources and it seems they're buying ad space via new sources as quickly as we're blocking the old sources. There isn't an easy way to pre-emptively block it because (in terms of data we can see) it looks a bit different each time.
Basically, the people behind the ad are very determined...
The ad team are aware and are also getting very annoyed with it now and are proactively looking for it, but we just thought we ought to explain why we're not zapping it as effectively as we would like.
