Enormous ad banners that you accidentally click on all the time?

[Zancah]

I'm on the mobile site on an iPhone 11 (one of the biggest screens!) and these new banners that are triple the depth of the previous/normal ads are the bloody bane of my MN life.
They are damn near impossible to not click on when you're scrolling upwards.

Is that it? You get revenue for clicks so you made it so that I accidentally click on it about 29 times a day??

Just seen this thread. I'm having the same issue, also mostly with that bloody cruise ad (I can't think of any worse holiday so it's not working). It takes up so much of the page (using the app on an iPhone) that's its hard to avoid clicking it accidentally. I'm sure MN is enjoying the ad revenue but this is a bit over the top!

Oh good I'm not the only one! It happens to me multiple times on every thread. Drives me insane! I can't afford a bloody cruise and I don’t want a ring doorbell!!!

nespresso is so sensitive that it triggers every time you brush against it. they are making me so cross I would neverr byuy them.

Hi @BlackeyedSusan thanks for your comments about these ads which have been passed on.

Me too, a few weeks ago I went to clear my safari tabs that were open and I couldn't understand why I had so many for cruises. It's now a daily chore to close all the cruise tabs open after an evening on mumsnet.

Came on to see if anyone else had posted about the Nespresso ad - I don't get this trouble with any of the other ads, but Nespresso pops open every time I try to scroll past it. I don't even drink coffee, so they'll have no luck with me!

the play station ad used to be the same.

I have a Shein advert after every 6 comments on this thread, takes up half the page and exactly the same advert.

Samsung s20 on the app.

Well it's clear that @MNHQ gives no shits about the user experience here...

This totally backfires really... companies I will never ever buy from. And yes is clear no one at HQ gives a shit

Hi @CatbellsQueen thanks for reporting this again and passing on your feedback. If you can post a screenshot it would be really helpful. We're taking a look now.

I knew this was going to be the cruise ad before I even opened the thread! like a PP, I've accidentally clicked it that many times that it's in my most visited on my safari home page

Mumsnet advertisers are doing their best to get me to go on holiday!
Had a few days of not opening up any ads which was lovely.
Last night it starts all over again with the Visit Portugal ad.

Yep. I work in digital marketing and trust me they know EXACTLY what they're doing.
It's a really shitty UX but they don't care.

Ironically just happened as I was scrolling though this thread

This also drives me mental. I haven't been on a cruise, I'll never be going on a cruise despite how many times Mumsnet advertising makes me click on their link. It's infuriating!

Me too. That fucking cruise advert ... the more I inadvertently click on it, the more it comes up as clearly (to them) I'm mega interested in signing up for three weeks !

Hi @aubreyii @Piccalino3 just dropping in to say thanks for the feedback which we'll pass on.

Prime video ad for me today.

Constantly clicking on it which I then end up with loads of tabs full of cruises I don't want to go on

Hi *@aubreyii* *@Piccalino3* just dropping in to say thanks for the feedback which we'll pass on.

This issue has been going on since April, why do you need to pass on feedback? Surely tech are already aware of the issue and working on a fix...

Nespresso for me, about 13 times a day. It's so sensitive.

It's this one for me today but it doesn't really matter which ad they're all so much more sensitive than they used to be. I could sneeze near my phone and the ads would open.

Sorry everyone - we know these ads have fully tested your patience. Thanks for taking the time to let us know and MANY apologies that it's still a problem two months on. Our ads team are aware of the issue and we're working to get it sorted. In the mean time, please continue to post here to let us know when an ad affects your user experience. Thank you.

@yetanotherbeckymumsnet no WAY does it take months to sort an issue like this. please listen to your users. it's an absolutely dreadful user experience.
