Hi mnhq
This issue only started today for me, but the adverts surrounding the page are so big it makes reading mn really small.
I not sure if I explaining this right so I did a screenshot for you

It's a clearly been sold as an advertising format

CarlottaValdez · 27/12/2020 18:18

Yeah it really doesn’t appear to be a mistake - I cannot do mumsnet on desktop because the advertising is horribly intrusive.

OcelotPanda · 28/12/2020 11:22

It’s so obviously designed this way and it’s massively irritating. I’m still getting it on my tablet and it makes the main screen so teeny tiny. Trying to zoom in doesn’t always work as the ad fights for space.

That and the little videos you’re forced to watch millions of time drive me insane. Mobile view is fine.

Really sorry to hear that this is still an issue - we've flagged it up again here at MNHQ and hope to have another update for you soon.

Thank you so much for your patience with this.

ocelot yes about the ad fighting you when you try zooming in! It will not let me make the actual mn bit bigger so I can see it!
Sorry everyone else get this but I am so glad it is not just me

This is still happening for me. Less often admittedly but it’s still there

PinkBuffalo · 08/01/2021 16:38

I have not had it for a while so hope maybe it fixed 🤞

Still happening sporadically for me but nowhere near as much as it was. Not today though I think ?

PinkBuffalo · 12/01/2021 22:07

I have not had this for ages now
Thank you MN Flowers
