I am getting this repeatedly and can't find a way to get rid. Across all topics and doesn't disappear with a refresh.

Hey FingersofFish

That looks incredibly annoying - thank you for flagging it.

Can you let us know the device and browser you use and how you are accessing the site (app, web etc)?

If anyone else is having this issue, do let us know.

Thank you, I am wondering if it's my phone! I am on an android using the Samsung internet browser on my phone.

I’m also seeing this. A black square covering the content with the words ‘please rotate your device’ appearing. I’m not going to comply so this makes MN unusable . Website in chrome on iPad.

I am also getting this, on a new iPad on chrome. When you rotate its a WhatsApp ad, but doing that doesn’t get rid of it.

Muselyforbreakfast · 25/11/2021 18:50

I’m getting the huge WhatsApp ad over the posts. Either that or the page freezes and I have to close it. Agree with above, making it unusable. Just when I’d got trending back too

KinYeSeeMeNoooo · 25/11/2021 19:52

I’m having the same issue. Using chrome on an iPad.

KimMumsnet · 25/11/2021 20:53

Evening, all. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and sorry for the frustration. We're on the case now and will get back to you with an update asap.

Libertaire · 25/11/2021 20:56

This is happening again. Chrome on iPad. I’ve had enough of this nonsense, it doesn’t happen on any other site I use regularly, so I’m off until it’s sorted. Bye.

WeeWeeWeeeee · 25/11/2021 21:35

Having the same issue. I’m disabled and use my iPad on a stand. I’m not physically able to rotate my device. Not being able to read an opening post has made mumsnet unusable tonight.

FeltCarrot · 26/11/2021 10:40

FeltCarrot · 26/11/2021 15:11

I’m also getting it. Just in the last 20 mins. Didn’t happen this morning or last night.
Using an iPad on safari.

Kite22 · 26/11/2021 16:20

I am getting a really annoying advert with a woman waving a sheet about covering all the posts, this afternoon.
I'm on a lap top.

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 26/11/2021 16:42

Adverts covering the posts here too and I'm using Chrome on my PC.
