I get this in every second thread I open this morning. It’s hiding all the posts on a page.

Using safari on iPad.

Hi EmpressWitchDoesntBurn,

The simply answer is we're not sure so we'll take this away and find out for you.

Autoplay can be infuriating we realise!

Thanks for your patience.
Brew

Thanks Fliss.

Same here on many pages such as this one

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/active-conversations

Safari on iPad, too.

Hi @DazzlePaintedBattlePants thanks for reporting this and sorry it's so annoying! We're looking into this now. If you're able to provide a screenshot, it would be really helpful. Flowers

soniamumsnet · 08/10/2021 15:09

Hi @EmpressWitchDoesntBurn we're just checking as we can't seem to locate that particular ad that you reported. Please can we check that it was definitely for Sky? Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this for you. Flowers

EmpressWitchDoesntBurn · 08/10/2021 15:32

Thanks @soniamumsnet. I’ve got a couple of earlier screenshots here, one for each ad. I’m always on iPhone with Safari.

Hello and sorry this is still ongoing. Please if you see this sort of ad again, could you click on it and send us the URL. We can then look to put some blocks in place. Flowers

EmpressaurusWitchDoesntBurn · 11/10/2021 20:01

Hello, I’m no longer seeing the Sky ads since I last updated my iPhone - I suspect there’s a connection but I haven’t dug into the new settings.

Thank you for looking into it!

soniamumsnet · 12/10/2021 10:50

Hi @EmpressaurusWitchDoesntBurn just dropping in to say we're glad that it's all sorted now! We put a stop to those ads that were overlaying topics. Give us a shout if you need any more help with anything. Flowers

So it was you, not the phone! Thanks @soniamumsnet.

Yep, it's back and as annoying as ever.

CarolineMumsnet · 17/10/2021 14:11

Oh no! Thank you for letting us know butterflyze and Levriers. We've not seen any other updates here since Friday so we are very much hoping this was a glitch that's now resolved. Can you let us know if it's still happening today? Thank you.

Levriers · 18/10/2021 17:06

Not today so far @CarolineMumsnet ( for me anyway) - it did happen a number of times yesterday though

QuitMoaning · 20/10/2021 11:55

Just happened again to me.
Why is this still happening?

Just happened again to me. Why is this still happening?
Hello!

Changes could've taken a little while to set in - have you had it today at all? If so, would you be able to clear your cookies?

CeeceeBloomingdale · 27/10/2021 09:18

It’s no longer black but scrolling past it means you don’t see subsequent posts. There were two posts after mine on the thread which I couldn’t see were there. Safari, iPad.
