For the love of the wee man please do something about the ads

HQ. Please. Make a decision about the ads. Either make them less intrusive or give us an option to pay a sub and get rid of them.

I'm on laptop, mobile on phone and sometimes Ipad. They make the site unusable and I'm going to be investigating an adblock today.

I am sure that is not what you want - I understand the need for ads to generate revenue, but when they are so intrusive that they interfere with the ability to use the site then you've gone a bit too far in the wrong direction.

Also, I wouldn't buy anything that is advertised like that, in an intrusive ad that pisses me off, because instead of thinking fluffy warm thoughts about the product being advertised, I'm thinking "FUCK THE FUCK OFF YOU ANNOYING TWAT" which I am sure is not the intention of the advertiser.

That vertical ad is back and won't go

I can cope with the in thread adds and understand why you need ads but there is a particular one which just takes over the whole page and ruins my mumsnet experience. It really puts me off. I have added a photo as an example. Mumsnet is only about half the page

I've just installed AdBlock as the site was becoming unusable.

I was just coming on to say the same thing. The vertical ads that take up half the page are the worst. If anything, this advertising is putting me off the products, as it's making me annoyed with them!

This is ridiculous!

I've had Adblock for a while as well. It's ridiculous.

Well, I thought I could cope with the jerky loading and moving through the threads on my iPad but the down both sides and across the top adverts are ridiculous!

They have made the actual size of the MN page so small that i can hardly read it. I have an iPad as I struggle with text size on my phone

Please change this, it is really annoying.

this is ridiculous! a video auto playing that jumps all over the page.

this is a message board that costs peanuts to run. very money grabbing.

You lot make me laugh, you literally must have nothing to do with your lives, you complain about everything all day long!

Get a life and chill!

Get a proper username.

I have a life, don't need to worry about silly things like a username and ads ;))

You have so much of a life you joined a forum to tell people to get a life.

Err ok.

Disabled people unable to use a web page and people's data being eaten up all in the name of shameless profiteering is an issue for some people.

Must say ads have been a lot better today, I only had the sidebar for the first page I clicked on and there have been no middle of the page ads just some links at the bottom, which I don't mind

Ditto, it's been much more pleasant today.

FFS, not only is a quarter of the screen taken up with ads, another quarter is black. It did that when the ads loaded. This is getting even more ridiculous. The thread is unreadable as the text is so small.

That is absurd! I've not used MN on a desktop in yonks. Now I'm glad.

I don't get these ads using the Talk AP

Still got massive adverts here.
