Screen dancing all over because of adverts

Anyone else finding this very annoying ?
I’m on an iPad.

The co-op ad is driving me nuts! Makes my screen bounce around all over the place and then I have to slide the screen from side to side to read all the MN text.

Safari, iPad.

Same here with the co op advert on the iPad

DinosaurDiana · 15/02/2021 07:43

I’ve reported it.

Sorry to hear this ad is causing problems. Are you all using the app or the desktop version of the site on the iPad?

OcelotPanda · 15/02/2021 09:43

I’m on the desktop version on the iPad and it’s awful. I thought those full screen ads had been got rid of? This new version is even worse than the last one.

DinosaurDiana · 15/02/2021 09:44

I haven’t downloaded an app.

Thanks, @OcelotPanda. We're looking into this now, but in the meantime if anyone's able to upload a screenshot, that would be very helpful.

@DawnMumsnet

Thanks, *@OcelotPanda*. We're looking into this now, but in the meantime if anyone's able to upload a screenshot, that would be very helpful.
Naturally now I’ve moaned it’s disappeared Grin, but if it pops up again I will screenshot.
DawnMumsnet · 15/02/2021 11:42

Ha, that's often the way it goes! Glad things are looking okay for you right now, @OcelotPanda, but please do let us know (and if possible, post a screenshot) if these ads start causing problems again.

YES! It's that blinking New Look ad for me with the arses in jeans. Screenshot wouldn't do any good @DawnMumsnet because it's the dance thing, you click on a page like the list of active, and as the ad loads the list bounces up and down - cannot be conveyed by anthing that is just a still. Desktop, Edge.

DawnMumsnet · 15/02/2021 11:51

Thanks for letting us know, @giletrouge. (And sorry these ads are causing problems for you, too).

We'll pass your comments on to our Tech team and will be back with an update as soon as we can.

BobsDouble · 15/02/2021 22:52

Here’s a screen shot but it doesn’t really help to show anything. Twice I’ve gone to click on a thread to read it and then the co-op ad pops up and everything bounces around and moves place, making it impossible to click on the thread I wanted.

Should add that with this screenshot I hadn’t zoomed in. The screen image gets distorted so you only see part of the page.

1stevernamechange · 16/02/2021 06:08

Here’s mine this morning, I’m having the same problem as Bobs, keep clicking on the wrong thread because of it

Here’s some screenshots from mine. I have also not zoomed in. On this thread it takes over nearly half the page giving me that narrow column. On the other I took a screen shot of how the page moves to the corner of the screen.

I've also been getting the page moving randomly up and down when I'm scrolling through Active or Threads Im On, usually when the New Look advert is on either side. I've hit so many wrong threads! Chrome on a very ancient PC.

needtowalkmore · 16/02/2021 10:33

Me too, site is unusable like this. Also on an iPad

LilyMumsnet · 16/02/2021 16:12

Thanks everyone.
We're looking to get this sorted as soon as possible - shouldn't be too much longer now.

Levrierssontmeilleurs · 18/02/2021 20:28

It’s just started for me tonight !

Yes, it had stopped, but back again this morning!

PinkBuffalo · 19/02/2021 13:37

The coop add is the absolute worse one it moves everything as you scroll and you can see it behind words etc

Noflora · 19/02/2021 19:42

I don't know whether this is the same fault. I use the active page a lot. I have to scroll down to get below the ad across the top and I immediately get taken right to the bottom of the page. It's been happening for days now. Firefox on Laptop

Levrierssontmeilleurs · 20/02/2021 06:13

Back again this morning for me - it’s the Co Op one as detailed above. No problem with any other adverts at the moment.
