Advert help, please!

[Dawndonnaagain]

If I click on a thread it comes up surrounded by an advert (varying ads).It's as though the thread, the 'mums net bit' is in a picture frame or is laid on top of the advert. I have AS, this is very distracting and is making me quite agitated. Is there anything I can do about this please. (I'm on a Mac if that makes a difference). Thank you!

Install an ad blocker - e.g. Adblock plus - I have it on Firefox on laptop, & safari on phone

Hi Dawndonnaagain
Just checking if you're still having problems with this ad?

I've just had the same thing happen, on my iPhone.

Hi, we'll get tech to look into this - thanks for letting us know

It's more than one ad and yes, I'm having problems with it, it's really grim. Thanks for looking into it.

So far, Harvey Nicholls, Aviva and a Car advert!

Delta Airlines, too. Grrr!

Eh Mumsnet admins - aren't these wrap ads? (I.e designed to appear exactly as Dawndonna describes?) I can't see MN getting rid of them as they are very lucrative but adblockers should sort you out as a pp said

Omg, first it was the massive giff gaff ads taking up the top half, now we have milk taking up half the screen vertically. Mn is one big advert.

The site takes up less room than a standard advert now

Any update please MNHQ? It's still happening.

It's just happened again, is it just me?

Horrendous..especially with black background ads like the Mercedes one. So irritating, it makes me want to boycott the advertised products (not the intentions, I'm sure)!

Same for me....

And me!

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

SO: We are testing a new ad format and so this ad is how it's actually meant to be. It's in place of a leaderboard and mpu, so it's not actually taking up more screen space in total but might take a bit of getting used to.

They are capped at once per user, per day, so it shouldn't be too intrusive! As ever, we welcome all feedback, so please do keep your thoughts coming.

Thanks

Very irritating.

Oh my days. Well, hope you're getting a hefty sum, mumsnet. It's a total pain in the bum at this end though.

It makes it really difficult to read the text. My eyes really struggle with anything like that - it is so overpowering. And I find it really bugging when the advert stays fixed at the top but a small section of the screen moves as you scroll down.

I have clicked off the thread a few times because it is too much. So it's a good idea if you want to put people off actually reading threads!

I hate these huge moving adverts
