Hate the opportunistic Disney Ad - Enough!

Please - hate any sense that your advertisers are exploiting the current situation - so cynical. Very obtrusive too at the top of all posts/boards.

I've accidentally clicked on it twice within the last 30mins. I immediately clicked back each time.

It's back now and it's still getting into the way, causing me to click on the wrong things, the page to jump, etc etc.

I'm never going to intentionally click on it. But it's so annoying to accidentally keep clicking on the wrong threads, or to 'refresh' when I mean 'last', or whatever. Or just having it keep jumping when I read pages.

Agree! I've got other way more pressing things on my mind right now but please could this ad kindly fuck off?

Now it' replaced by online tutor ad, and the same problems are still happening!! It's not the ad, it's the position and way it loads. It puts me right off ever clicking on it and just makes me irritated, which is not good advertising. I never end up clicking where I want, and the page jumping when I'm reading is really frustrating.

I'm on the app atm but when I'm on IE on my laptop I have to say I find the ads incredibly irritating and have clicked on a couple when page is loading. Very annoying. Especially there rotating bloody blouses and shoes.

Also did wonder why MN are pushing Disney at a time like this. Personally I and my kids don't do Disney at all but probably the minority.

*those

It's back AGAIN can you please take it down. It's intrusive.

This is driving me mad. Even when it’s not clicking on to Disney, it’s causing the thread list to move so I keel clicking on the wrong threads. Can’t the ad just be taken down while it’s messing up the usability of the site?
Thats not because of the disney ad, mine is doing it all the time atm , also keyboard sticking halfway through a post

pinkrocker · 07/04/2020 12:07

And halfway through a thread a bloody great advert is there, not helpful when you're trying to read anything.

Please can't you fix this!! I know it's probably a way of holding people to ransom to pay for a premium membership, but it's really so annoying and results in clicking on the wrong thread so often. And it doesn't give me much hope that a premium version would necessarily be any better anyway, if something so simple can't be fixed. There must be a way to load the ads better/differently/in a different order so that this doesn't constantly happen?
