Ads in the middle of posts

Hi MNHQ, I've spotted ads appearing in the middle of posts (always between a quoted post and the body of the post) and was wondering whether that's supposed to happen?

I don't mind them so much between posts, but am finding this a bit annoying, especially video ones.

I've added a screenshot so you can see.

I'm on Safari on an iPhone running iOS 13.6.1. Mobile site.

Thanks!

Actually, looking at it, it seems to be putting the ad into the quotation.

Perhaps it's happening if you quote a post that's directly above an ad on a thread?

Tech is probably more likely to know than I am though, so I'll leave it in your capable hands!

Here's another example in a different topic.

It's happenings in posts without quotations too now. Surely it isn't supposed to do that?

Happening to me too....not sure if it's then missing/covering part of the post it's interrupting.

Hi all

Really sorry that this is still happening - have raised it with our ads team now. Please do bear with us. Flowers

Just bumping because it's happening again — must be the time of year for it! I'll come back with a screenshot when I see it again.

Any update on this? It’s still happening I’m afraid!

AlternativePerspective · 18/01/2022 06:28

Still happening.

LilyMumsnet · 18/01/2022 15:48

Hi folks

Is anyone able to get us a URL from one of the adverts that's doing this? Just click on it, copy and paste the URL so that we can see from our end what's happening. Thanks so much for bearing with us.

LilyMumsnet · 19/01/2022 18:39

Hi all

We'll still need some URLs - is anyone able to get one for us?

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 19/01/2022 22:35

It doesn't happen on every thread, but I'll keep an eye out.

You'd like the url of the actual advertisement, is that right?

It’s happened to me too

KimMumsnet · 20/01/2022 11:12

Yep, @PolkadotsAndMoonbeams - you need to click on the ad and then copy and paste the URL.

Without the URL we can't pinpoint the culprits.

Thanks so much for your continued patience with this issue and your help with it.

Pinkywoo · 23/01/2022 13:04

I'm not sure what you mean by the URL, if I click on the ad it only lets me copy the link.
