Huge ads not scrolling

Got a new one here, for me at least. Huge ads taking up top half of screen, I understand there are some pretty big ads but this one stays static and doesn’t scroll.

Once a scrolling ad appears, you’re left with an entire screen of advert as per screenshot Confused

Same here. Makes it impossible to read the damn threads. Perhaps I should just bugger off to reddit. Mumsnet is becoming less and less user friendly.

Me too a boux bra advert
Make it stop @mnhq

ReeseWitherfork · 07/04/2022 18:38

Came here to see if anyone else had this problem today (or to ask if not). I’ve never had this problem before and it’s making the site unusable.

OutlookStalking · 07/04/2022 18:40

Yup had that too. Had the "in text" advert too at the bottom at one point and started to think maybe thos was getting silly...

swashbucklecheer · 07/04/2022 18:43

Me too. A massive fat ad for slimming world ironically!

Twinkletwinklelittletoes · 07/04/2022 18:43

Me too.

gingerscot · 07/04/2022 18:47

And me!

CurbsideProphet · 07/04/2022 18:49

Yes same here.

HouseofHolbein · 07/04/2022 18:50

Same here. Very annoying.

underneaththeash · 07/04/2022 18:57

Just ad block.
I had that issue a couple of years ago.

MissyB1 · 07/04/2022 18:59

@underneaththeash how do we ad block?

MzHz · 07/04/2022 19:01

I downloaded an ad blocker and they have gone!

Privacy DNS was the first on the list I saw

Floydthebarber · 07/04/2022 19:02

Yes, me too. Just start-rite shoes! I don't really want touse an ad blocker, Ijust want ads that do not make a site unpleasant to use.

Omg these are annoying and pointless! I have this pic of cows in a field stuck over a third of my screen. What the heck it's for i have no idea. When I'm typing I can't see what I'm writing. Just started this evening, MAKE IT STOP! Bloody awful.

Me too.

Neonskytonight · 07/04/2022 19:07

Yup same here - on mobile site. Huge ads non moving advert at the top rather than the middle and scroll past able as normal and only a tiny bit left to read the thread. Unusable.

Tronkmanton · 07/04/2022 19:11

Me too!

BestestBrownies · 07/04/2022 19:13

Just came here to start this exact thread. Sort it out HQ!! It’s really fucking annoying

BuanoKubiamVej · 07/04/2022 19:19

What's even worse is that it makes composing posts virtually impossible because the keyboard takes up the other half of the screen.

AgentProvocateur · 07/04/2022 19:20

I’ve got the cow one too. Can read about five lines of text. Really fucking annoying.

Same here

BigWholeBean · 07/04/2022 19:23

Same here

DirectionToPerfection · 07/04/2022 19:24

Same here, extremely annoying. I got the cows and a woman cleaning her loo. Takes up nearly half the page.

EatSleepReplete · 07/04/2022 19:26

Me too. Has happened several times today.
