Just tried to read a thread and the sliding post is covering and concealing the entire OP. I can get to the rest of the thread, once I've scrolled past the huge annoying bit in the way, but there's no way to get rid of the wretched ad to be able to read what the original post was about.

From an advertising point of view, I have to say I'm not building good associations with these products, I'm more wanting to throw things on sight of them..... rather like that wretched woman and her ruddy chocolate cupcake.

I think my minions may have gone 🀞

Relieved to see this thread! About 10 mins ago had a slidey translucent whatsit in the way of an active thread & wondered what the hell it was. No screenshot, sorry.

CuriousaboutSamphire described it perfectly. Also on Chrome, Android in Active threads.

Minions are back

soniamumsnet · 29/09/2021 11:41

Hi @minipie thanks for reporting this. Are you able to send a screenshot please? Sorry that this has been causing issues. Also, please can you tell us the thread you were on when you saw it?Flowers

minipie · 29/09/2021 11:44

Sorry can’t remember which thread! I will try to get a screenshot if it happens again. Definitely less today though.

soniamumsnet · 29/09/2021 11:47

Thanks @minipie Flowers

Had an ad, can't remember what it was, on every thread in Trending. Google Chrome on HP laptop

ponygirlcurtis · 29/09/2021 13:22

I am getting it on the Desktop version with the Jersey ad. Whole page obscured on laptop Using Microsoft Edge browser.

Yet again the sliding ad is back 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑
ponygirlcurtis · 29/09/2021 13:25

(I know that image doesn't look like it's the whole screen, but the ad part took up the whole laptop screen and you had to scroll up or down to see anything else.)

CloudsOfCeonothus · 29/09/2021 15:22

Here's the fuc*er again AngryAngryAngry

Android. Chrome. On 'Anyone been in 'interesting' weather?' thread.

Any progress ? I’m on apple ipad.

Me too. MacBook Air.

chesirecat99 · 29/09/2021 17:52

This is getting ridiculous. It's bad enough when you are reading a thread but it blocked me out halfway through writing a detailed reply about university admissions.

It's the Jersey ad and I am using Chrome on a desktop.

Amortentia · 29/09/2021 17:59

I keep getting that jersey add too. I’m using an iPad with Safari and it’s a bloody nuisance, blocks most of the screen.

CloudsOfCeonothus · 29/09/2021 21:01

Just had it AGAIN! Angry It's really starting to piss me off.

Ironically I was on Site Stuff thread 'Mumsnet sinks to new low' when it slid down & blocked what I was reading

GCAcademic · 30/09/2021 06:12

How is this still happening? Do you want people to use the site or is it merely a platform for giant adverts now?

GoodnightGrandma · 30/09/2021 07:31

It’s back for me now.
And I had a minute where, whatever I touched on MN , it opened another page for a Jet 2 ad.

Just had the Jersey one again. I don't understand why mn can't get a handle on this. Its very annoying.

coronafiona · 30/09/2021 09:36

The ads are really annoying! Laptop here.

Artichokeleaves · 30/09/2021 09:38

I was just trying to type a post and that ruddy sliding ad appeared, covered the box and nothing I did could reveal it again! I just lost the entire post, the only thing I could do was move the page! Angry

There's intrusive and annoying ads and then there's just plain 'preventing use of site at all' ads.

GoodnightGrandma · 30/09/2021 09:47

Have you seen this MN ?

Yes, I had that earlier this morning too. Everything I clicked opened up the Jet2 ad.
