So I clicked on a thread I had been commenting on and this appeared across my screen. Couldn't see an X to close it and it didn't disappear. Came off the thread and back on and it's gone again now. Strange.

Installing Adblock plus (it's free on App Store) gets rid of all these problems.

I know MN relies on advertising revenue but the ads got just too much for me.

I would have been willing to pay for access to an ad-free MN too.

I thought this had gone away, but now the A2 milk ad is taking up 2/3 of my screen. Squashing everything from the top and the side leaving me with a teeny tiny square of MN in the bottom left hand corner.

I agree - it would be more tolerable if you could dismiss it, but you can't.

Space on a mobile screen is so small anyway, that an advert that size is just incredibly intrusive, and makes the rest of the page unreadable.

It's really annoying and every time you scroll even slightly the woman morphs into a bottle of milk then a pair of pants ( ), it's really distracting.

[YoungPretenderMortificado]

That page edge is annoying. It distorts the whole interface.

[Berthatydfil]

I got the milk one yesterday.
Sorry Hq in my opinion once a day is once too many

[AngieMumsnet]

Yes the A2 is called a page edge, you should only ever see that once a day though

[AngieMumsnet]

Fab!
Thanks for letting me know. Will keep an eye on this thread just in case Google break something again

[Sptownmama]

Yep usual service has resumed. Thanks Angie.

[BeingATinselTwatItsABingThing]

I haven't had anything in a while. Thank you for sorting it.

[Lovelybangers]

Looks like they have stopped here too.

Fingers crossed!!

[AyeAmarok]

I've not had it today

[CaesiumTime]

I haven't had a problem for a few days. Yay!

[AngieMumsnet]

Hi

Just wanted to let you all know that Google have said they have fixed the issue, I am going to enable some of the blocking but if you encounter any issues please report on this thread to me ASAP.

Thanks

[PlayOnWurtz]

Still getting them on Android

[EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans]

No more on my iPhone. Thanks Angie!

[anonymousbird]

They are still everywhere for me, crawling across the page.

Chrome, iMac.

I haven't had any since yesterday afternoon. I do have some of the 'thinner' banner ads at the top but they aren't covering anything.

Thanks Angie! :)

[AngieMumsnet]

Thanks for letting me know.
I have stopped certain types of ads from showing but I may not have captured all of them, if you see the odd one or two please let me know.
Still working with Google to get to bottom of this.
Thanks

[bruffin]

Its stopped because there are now no adverts at the top, is that right?

[GinIsIn]

I'm too scared to say that I think it's stopped, in case it starts up again....
