Nature valley advert

28 replies

Branleuse · 11/07/2019 08:50

urgh, can you get rid of it please or make it silent. Every time my cursor goes over it because im moving over to scroll, it comes up with a really loud fast noise, like gunfire or something. Its really stressing me out because it makes me jump I dont like it and it makes me never want to buy bloody nature valley again.
I turned my ad blocker off to support you guys, but that advert is making me feel really jumpy now. Its hard to not accidently go over it when trying to scroll

Its been endlessly autoplaying for me, and I'm not anywhere near it on the screen.

Adblocker will have to go back on.

Was just coming on to Site Stuff to complain. I already hate Nature Valley and this is not helping. I don't even bloody have an adblocker so I'm going to avoid MN until the problem is sorted. And I'm definitely not running over it with my cursor.

This is driving me insane! It keeps autoplaying. Please sort it out mumsnet.

Nanny0gg · 11/07/2019 14:50

Thank god someone started this thread!

What is going on MN?

PLEASE make it STOP!!!

Branleuse · 11/07/2019 15:35

its getting worse. Now it keeps playing. I was trying to watch an in-thread video and it started autoplaying, so i had to rewind the video a bit, and silence the advert, but then it just turned on again. This is really really super annoying

Branleuse · 11/07/2019 15:45

Nature valley you arseholes. I will never buy your cereal bars again

OP posts:
jazzandh · 11/07/2019 19:14

I won't buy their bars either, I can't stop it, can't hide it, I've had to turn all sound off my computer. Unacceptably intrusive and I am about to put adblocker on.

Nanny0gg · 11/07/2019 19:31

Investigate, shmestigate.

Just take it off!!

Branleuse · 11/07/2019 20:26

im autistic and its stressing me out when the noise just comes from nowhere like gunfire. Its actually distressing. Can you just take the bloody thing off.

Missingthesea · 11/07/2019 20:29

It's horrible. You mute it, but then it just stars again. I certainly will never buy Nature Valley Angry

Missingthesea · 11/07/2019 20:30

Starts, not stars

TroubleWithNargles · 11/07/2019 23:17

Oh thank you OP, I agree. It is gobsmackingly loud and awful.

Sobeyondthehills · 12/07/2019 03:31

It has just done it to me 3 fucking times.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 12/07/2019 07:33

DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP

please I'm begging you

If I hear that fucking nature valley music one more time I MAY KILL AGAIN

(joke kind of )

drowningincustard · 12/07/2019 07:57

I was about to start a thread called Fucking Nature Valley but can see its not just me - I am seriously considering abandoning mumsnet.
Its not even when my cursor is fucking near it - that bloody noise.
And I can guarantee 'any advertising is good advertising' is bollocks - I used to occasionally buy it - now it gives me the rage so I'm never fucking buying it...
(Oh and I rarely swear but given that I have done it 3 times already - thats how pissed off I am!)

KittiKat · 12/07/2019 08:01

Argh!!!!!!!!!! 4 times this morning now in the space of 15 minutes and I am not anywhere near the poxy advert!!!!!!! And just now, I went to turn it off AGAIN and it redirected me!!!

TURN IT OFF!!!!!!

I tell a lie, that is 8 times this morning and 3 of them were whilst writing this note.

bruffin · 12/07/2019 09:18

Please get rid of it, ive silenced it and it starts again. NOt a good idea to have adverts with music on that start up automatically either,
Another one put off buying NV because of that advert

gnomeisland · 12/07/2019 09:42

@soniamumsnet MNHQ

Any update on what's happening with this?
Why is this advert still there? It's driving me mad.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 12/07/2019 10:36

praise the giant spider, it looks like the ad is gone

thanks MNHQ

Branleuse · 12/07/2019 11:39

its not gone, ive just had it

OP posts:
Branleuse · 12/07/2019 11:40

adverts like this defeat purpose. The noise makes me feel like ive been slapped round the head

OP posts:
RadioSilence · 12/07/2019 11:41

It's not gone for me. The sodding thing is still noisily invading my Mumsnet browsing. It's put me off ever buying any Nature Valley products!
