Should this advert be doing this?

I'd expect it to either scroll up, or block the page from moving until it's played, but the text is actually going over it somehow. I thought it looked a bit weird, so I'd let you know so you could have a look.

(If it is supposed to be doing that, I don't like it much!)

It's interesting seeing what adverts other people get! I mainly get an annoying woman and her baby monitor. There's a whole load of sober puritans on the "Treated like an alcoholic by midwife?" thread - don't let them know that you get vodka ads. They'll have social services round Grin

I got a guy drinking gin.

Instead of being able to scroll up, he carried on drinking as I tried to read the screen under him

MurielSpriggs · 20/08/2021 08:49

I think I went out with him briefly.

Hi OP

Can you just let us know what device and browser you are using, and what topic this is happening on? And if it's still happening?

Thanks!

It was this thread.

iPhone SE 2020, Safari browser.

I haven't seen it elsewhere, and I haven't had any other ads doing it, but will keep an eye out.

I can honestly say I don't drink vodka Muriel, but gingernaut's gin ad would be a different story!

Hi OP

If it happens again, can you get us the direct url to the advert (by clicking onto it)?

This is happening to me today too.

Pinkywoo · 30/08/2021 17:50

I'm still getting this (android phone on desktop site not app), it's really annoying!

MrsRobbieHart · 31/08/2021 20:53

Still happening. Is anything actually being done to fix it?

Pinkywoo · 02/09/2021 15:42

@MNHQ?

Flavabobble · 02/09/2021 19:53

I'm getting it too, android and chrome.

ZeusandClio · 02/09/2021 20:17
