Advert at top not loading and causing problems with bookmark function.

[AutoCat]

Since yesterday there's been an advert at the top which won't load (I just get the text 'ADVERTISEMENT' with the circle of doom showing it's trying to load.

And since the same time, when I click on a thread it isn't taking me to my last bookmarked place - it's just staying at the top while the advert tries to load.

This isn't every time, its intermittently (most times at the moment), but it's a pain. I'm using the website on safari (on an iPad Pro).

I've been having intermittent problems with the bookmark today too. It was fine earlier on, but now it's just pot luck whether it works.

MacBookPro - Safari.

My bookmark function isn't working either. it was earlier. I'm using a MacBook Pro-Safari

Hadbthe same issue with the topmadvert since yesterday and then today now can't bookmark.

iPad. Chrome.

Same here. MacBookPro, Safari.

I don't think it's the ad, because pages aren't automatically jumping to the bookmarks I saved last night either.

They might not be linked, but for me, when the advert loads then bookmarks work and when it doesn't they don't.

Tech must be tinkering again!

Similar here - I don't get the word 'Advertisement', or the circle of doom, but there is no ad at the top, the bit saying 'mumsnet by parents for parents' sits very low on the page, and then I can't bookmark.

This has been happening intermittently for a while now.

Laptop; Chrome.

I'm not getting the word 'advertisement' or circle of doom now, but still no advert (the top is blank) and my iPad is showing that the page is still loading (spinning circle at the top where it says iPad). And bookmarks still not working.

I'm another who can't bookmark, iPad and Safari. Frustrating!!

I agree with U2 that it might not necessarily be the top ad being a bit erratic - annoying though it is!

It seems to be working OK for the moment.

U2 thanks a lot for reporting this issue - we're not sure quite what's happening here - we'll pass it to our tech lot and try to get it sorted for you all.

Thanks for the device/browser detail too; really helpful.

Ad is there and I can bookmark now.

It's fine for me too now - thanks (adverts and bookmarks seem to be loading consistently).

Advert has been trying to load for a few weeks for me. Quite annoying.
