Funny line across the screen - iPhone

28 replies

Passmethecrisps · 25/10/2017 14:18

I am getting a line across the screen whenever I am on MN and have done for a couple of days. It looks like it is my phone screen but only appears when on MN. And strangely it is not on this page!

I will try to get a screenshot

It's because of the ads at the top of the page apparently.

FlexTimeCheekyFucker · 25/10/2017 14:19

I get that on my android too.

Passmethecrisps · 25/10/2017 14:20

it’s a small thing but I am trying to work out if it is my phone or the site. Like I said though, it only appears on MN

Ah! Now I have an ad blocker so is that something to do with it?

It's been mentioned on the other countless threads complaining about the new ads on MN.

BeetrootTart · 25/10/2017 14:23

It's the site. I have it too.

BenLui · 25/10/2017 14:24

It’s deeply annoying.

Hello there Passmethecrisps - a screenshot would be super helpful, thanks!

In the meantime, can we ask what iPhone you're using, and which browser?

The class leaderboard_advertising has a bottom border in the css of 1px (which shows regardless of adblock/no adblock) which is why the line is showing, it's just a bit more obvious with adblock on as there isn't the advert to distract from it.

Hi.

iPhone 6s Plus using Safari. Sounds like it is the ads though.

I've been getting this - glad it's mumsnet and not my phone

LineysRun · 25/10/2017 14:56

It's because of ads.

Got a horrible flashing pac-man piece of crap right now, off centre yet still annoying as hell.

MirandaWest · 25/10/2017 14:58

It happened after I posted.

Am using an iPhone 6 on safari

I have this too! Safari on iPhone SE. It’s so distracting.

Aph413 · 25/10/2017 15:04

Not just iPhone. I'm on a Samsung s7 using chrome. I don't have adblock either.

Thanks for the screenshots, everyone - we've passed these on and we'll update with more info once we have it. Flowers

I have it on Samsung too.

specialsubject · 26/10/2017 20:17

Also on my amazon fire.

Will the intern who codes mn is excelling himself!

Dlpdep · 26/10/2017 20:21

iPhone 6, same issue, only mumsnet, fine on everything else!

Blockb · 26/10/2017 20:51

It's only on mumsnet as it's a styling they have in their css (to put a bottom 1px border on that class), they just need to remove it, It's a one line css fix, should be quick to do.

Vanillamanilla1 · 26/10/2017 20:53

I get it too only on MN
I was trying the cm scratch at the screen as its a line thats a 1/4 way down the screen and looks like a scratch
The screen is smooth so it's not my phone

Rheged · 26/10/2017 20:54

I’m having this in my iPad too.
