Ok getting really cross now. There's a giant pop up ad (world at home) which appears on the mobile site covering the whole bloody page. No amount of reporting it as too big/irrelevant works. It comes up frequently and I can't get rid unless I go back. But it means I can't read a particular page of threads. which ruins my MNing
There may even be a thread on this called pop ups. However the giant ad appeared so I couldn't read it to check Hmm

I just had one from New Look, reported to google as covering content.

Just to make you aware MNHQ, Google will be down ranking pages that do this...

I had several huge giffgaff adverts covering half the page.

ShoeJunkie · 19/11/2016 13:05

Yep, Giff gaff here too

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 19/11/2016 13:05

I'm Android mobile using the phone's native browser but as a poster using iPhone and Safari got the giffgaff adverts too the usual excuse that "it's an Android problem" doesn't apply.

DonkeyOaty · 19/11/2016 16:08

Just now.
Android. Native browser. Mobile site.

Getting this too! Annoying

Maudlinmaud · 19/11/2016 16:12

Also just now... same as donkeys

CloudPerson · 19/11/2016 16:13

I got a new look one. It had a cross in the corner, but it still won't go away Sad

FrickOnAStick · 19/11/2016 16:15

Giffgaff on my my phone. Doesn't happen when using mobile site on iPad though.

iPhone, Safari, mobile site

Another one this one was too big to get at the corner.

Should have said earlier, mobile site/android

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 19/11/2016 16:27

And again. Same debut one

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 19/11/2016 16:29

And again. Use the cross in the top corner to report that ad was covering content and came up with a bar saying ad closed by Google, but it wouldn't close.

I got the gift gaff one. It appeared to scroll with the page, too.

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 19/11/2016 16:50

Got a giant New Look advert here. On kindle fire, silk browser.

FrickOnAStick · 19/11/2016 17:17

It only seems to happen to me when I'm on 'Threads I'm On' (again, iPhone/safari/mobile). It's fine on 'active' and in individual threads.

BellaGoth · 19/11/2016 17:22

Mobile site on Android. This is all of the screen I get to see. Angry
