FippertyGibbett · 10/10/2020 07:14

It’s really getting on my nerves 😡

QuitMoaning · 10/10/2020 09:51

And me. It is really intrusive.

And I would now never buy anything from them due to this annoying advert. It has the opposite effect to its intention

BlackeyedSusan · 10/10/2020 10:56

is pissing me off...

can't read half the screen with my middle aged not been able to get to the optician due to covid eyes. oh and all the people advertising in the right need to get a refund as they disappear.

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 10/10/2020 13:01

Hello everyone - we're sorry you're annoyed by this - we'll pass your comments on to the ad team now.

Could we please ask for a screengrab if you see it obscuring any text? Much obliged.

ZaraCarmichaelshighheels · 10/10/2020 20:24

It’s driving me insane, I cant use mumsnet properly because it’s “floating” over this giant advert.

BlackeyedSusan · 10/10/2020 22:48

this one, the active box disappears off to the right

pissing me right off.

BlackeyedSusan · 10/10/2020 22:51

and the bit at the top is visible behind the page when you scroll down.

Nospringchickendipper · 10/10/2020 22:54

ZaraCarmichaelshighheels · 11/10/2020 00:07

Really intrusive and annoying. The actual Mumsnet page floats between the two ads. The Ovex keeps flashing as the pic changes. Makes my eyes hurt. Here’s mine with the right partially obscured by Mrs Hinch.

Whoever had this idea for an ad needs to have their position re-evaluated back down to junior.

I think I shall leave this site alone for a few days and check back when it is fixed. I really cannot cope with the headaches this advert is giving me (using on an iPad)

Frdd · 11/10/2020 12:26

I’m getting the same and it’s really annoying.

BlackeyedSusan · 11/10/2020 22:17

particularly bad on the sn boards which is a bit shit considering the higher prevalence of those with sensory issues.

Trumpton · 12/10/2020 07:02

I came onto Site Stuff to say everything that everyone else has said . It’s making me dizzy .

Levrierssontmeilleurs · 12/10/2020 11:11

It’s back !! It went away later the day I first reported but is back again. Irritating

Hi @Levrierssontmeilleurs (and everyone else),

Thanks for the info and screenshots - we're really sorry that this ad has been causing problems for many of you.

Just letting you know that our Adops team have now turned this ad off - it clearly wasn't behaving properly.

Apologies for any inconvenience it's caused over the past few days. Flowers

DawnMumsnet · 12/10/2020 14:56

Hi again,

The ad provider has now made some changes to the set up of this ad. As a result, we've set the campaign live again but please let us know if there are any further issues.

Fingers crossed. Smile

1stevernamechange · 13/10/2020 00:16

It’s still done the same for me tonight, I’ve kept having to refresh the page so I can briefly see the active topics, otherwise it’s just a portion of the page floating over an advert

ZaraCarmichaelshighheels · 13/10/2020 00:44

It’s just as bad as before, please get rid of this advert.

ArseholesOnToast · 13/10/2020 00:56

It’s back and as annoying as it was before.

Frdd · 13/10/2020 06:46

Just coming to post this. It’s back. It pushes the body of the website all skew and I can’t see half of the thread.

It really is incredibly difficult to use the site with it.

And before you ask what thread I saw it on. This one.

FippertyGibbett · 13/10/2020 06:48

It being very annoying again 😡
Sort it out !
