I'm never going to Jersey now...

[Bingowingslikeashieldofsteel]

Why is this fucking ad taking over my entire screen constantly?! Just trying to type a post and had to abandon it because it popped up and there's not even an option to close it...

Not even considering Guernsey, it's that annoying!

Oh Guernsey is gorgeous!

Oh you're missing out going somewhere lovely then😀

It’s Malta for me!

Don't let @MNHQ and their awful approach to ads on this site put you off from visiting the Channel Islands! It's beautiful here and I'd be happy to show any pp around who wanted to come for a visit to Jersey!

But I also agree with other pp on other threads who think there might be several negative issues affecting threads all at once - there's the black bits blocking the screen, ads blasting out sound even when devices are on silent, and videos that are still eating people's data and I think there might be another complain too I've seen in the last few days. So, to echo other pp, sort it out MNHQ!

I haven't used an ad blocker before because MN asked us not to but if this huge ad feature stays I will be ad blocking everything.

Hi - just dropping in to say sorry if you've been experiencing problems with posting due to an ad.

Please can you let us know the version of browser and device that you are using, and if possible provide a screenshot.

Desk top PC on google.

Jersey ad wipes out the entire page.

Hi @DancesWithTortoises thanks for this extra information. If you're able to send a screenshot if would be really useful. In the meantime, we'll take a look from our end.

oh god I've been having that on my pc - lets just say it has the complete opposite effect and I now have no wish to see or hear anything to do with Jersey or Malta!!!

oh and yes its a desktop pc, running on current version of chrome

Thanks @jillandhersprite we're taking a look into this now.

Also happening to me. I am using Google Chrome on a laptop.

still happening this am

It’s sky and the fecking minions for me

We're so sorry to hear this is happening - these ads were never intended to serve on our website. We would never allow them and correctly so. This appears to be an advert which has gone rogue so we'll look to pause the offending vendor.

Thanks for your patience!

Oops. The sticker pic wasn’t meant to be there. Reported to ask MNHQ to remove it.

Does that mean the sky & the fecking minions ad was never meant to be on the mobile site either? Three shots of it from the past two hours. iPhone 7 Safari.

still happening - just had it mess up the active conversations screen

Me too...

Never going to subscribe to Sky or watch the minions films either.

Hi @jillandhersprite thanks for reporting this and sorry it's been causing problems for you. Please can you let us know the version of device and browser that you are using? We'll take a look into it now.

@soniamumsnet, I think we’re all curious - is the issue with the Jersey & Sky ads & the dog in the house song all part of the same problem?

sorry just seen this - I'm not on the same machine at the moment but I can confirm next time I'm on it. It will be google chrome on a desktop pc but not sure what version of windows i'm on...
