Hi, I keep getting full page adverts coming through when on mumsnet on my phone. I'm in France at the moment if that makes any difference? They are incredibly annoying and don't seem to happen on any other site. Took a pic of one to show you.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Yes, me. It covers the whole screen and takes two clicks to go away.

I switched to the desktop site on my phone to escape the infuriating full screen ads. It's a shame - I quite liked the mobile site.

I am just now, haven’t had them all day. Am in Switzerland.

Same. I'm in Germany. Full page adverts on my mobile (iOS - using safari) that cannot be closed. Have to open a new tab, but it keeps on happening. Also, when I tried to post on this thread, one of the adverts on the page got bigger and wouldn't let me navigate down the page to type in the box! I'm doing this from the laptop. Very annoying.

Hi folks

Can you let us know what devices and browsers you're using, please? And also where you're based (if possible).

More screenshots would be great and if anyone could get a URL link directly to the advert, that'd be a huge help to our ads team.

Full page advert (Vodafone)

And this is the add that prevents me from posting things (I’ve tried about 7 times since my last post...). Normally I can scroll past it fine when reading threads, but whenever I click in the text box, it scrolls up and zooms in. I’m on my iPhone in Germany. Thanks for investigating

I was also getting Orange adverts and something about winning a prize...ignored them all but constantly had to open up new tabs

I had this full page ad just now. Why can't you have small banner ads like everyone else?

Hi OP

Can we ask if this is still happening for you?

NonUrinatInVentum · 14/10/2019 11:27

I'm getting these too, am in Switzerland. It's driving me berserk. I'm on Chrome for Android.
