As in the doghouse blocking the active/watching tabs etc

@MNHQ there is a new ad which has a banner for 'Care for pets in exchange for free holiday accommodation' when you select the doghouse. However, this totally obscures the tabs at the bottom of the screen for active/watching/threads I am on etc. Bloody annoying especially as this is the second thread I have started in the past few days moaning about things not working.

This is on safari on iPhone.

Btw this is only an issue when I view 'the doghouse'. That ad is permanently there.

It’s on The Litter Tray too and it’s driving me nuts! The picture is too big!

BiteyShark · 12/02/2019 00:14

MNHQ, lots of other people are getting this as well.

Really irritating, the pet sitting post has been pinned on the litter tray for ages, if people were interested they would have read it.

TeddyIsaHe · 12/02/2019 05:09

Really annoying! There should be an option to get rid of it once you’ve clicked it.

BiteyShark · 12/02/2019 05:57

I am going to keep moaning until MN remove it. Surely the company advertising would also understand that annoying users is not the way to get them to use you Sad

Hi there all,

Thanks for letting us know about this, we're looking into it.

chemenger · 12/02/2019 13:52

Still there.

GrouchyKiwi · 12/02/2019 13:58

It's very frustrating. On the mobile site this morning the ad also stopped all the posts from loading in one of my threads so I had to go to the desktop site to read it. (Using Chrome on an Android phone.)

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 12/02/2019 14:59

It's also obscuring the shortcut buttons at the bottom of the screen.

Please get rid of this bar, it is annoying and stops me using your site as it should be used.

chemenger · 12/02/2019 19:37

Given that this still isn’t fixed can we assume it is deliberate? In whitch case I just want to say that if I wanted a house sitter it would be a cold day in hell before I clicked through this ad.

DramaAlpaca · 12/02/2019 19:39

This is really annoying. I'm avoiding the Litter Tray & the Doghouse until it's fixed Angry

ChestyNut · 12/02/2019 19:48

Please get rid of the annoying bar @MNHQ Sad

DropZoneOne · 12/02/2019 23:35

It's on threads on the Travel forum too. Using Chrome on Android
Completely blocks the navigation bar and also slows down the page load so it freezes the scrolling

AnyaMumsnet · 13/02/2019 09:52

Hi there all,

You're right, it was deliberate but it should have been stopped yesterday evening - we'll investigate further.

BiteyShark · 13/02/2019 10:02

When you say it was deliberate, do you mean it was intentionally there to cover all the buttons at the bottom Confused

AnyaMumsnet · 13/02/2019 10:05

Hi again @BiteyShark,

Thanks for getting back to us.

It wasn't meant to be covering any buttons. Do let us know if it's still coming up.

BiteyShark · 13/02/2019 10:09

Ah ok I was a bit confused then Grin.

It's now gone from the doghouse.

Fgs @MNHQ that add is back in the doghouse again for pet sitters but now I don't have any of the tabs at the bottom as it looks like they have been pushed of the bottom of the screen.

This is getting stupid now Sad.
