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

Can anyone tell me what the Obamas are advertising?

Shitzngiggles · 08/04/2022 12:07

@comealongponds exactly. And I'm not convinced they are ads. It's all just so random and absolutely no info in the "ad". Definitely something weird going on here.

Big ad at top of my screen has gone …..
Hope that’s it - if so, thanks .

The adverts aren't in the thread, they appear over the top of it, covering the top half of the screen. Pictures with no clear branding. Very annoying and makes the site almost unusable. Seems to be happening on a wide range of phones and browsers

toomanytwinkies · 08/04/2022 12:10

I thought they’d gone and now I’m getting full page ads! 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

👋🏻 Bye

I'm wondering if it's some sort of attack on Mumsnet.

Maybe download the app? Not happening on here

BarrowInFurnessRailwayStation · 08/04/2022 12:36

Perhaps it's the Russians 👀

BoreOfWhabylon · 08/04/2022 12:43

More likely the TRAs

Mumdiva99 · 08/04/2022 12:47

Just following to see when/if this is resolved. (I commented on the other thread that has been closed.)

Android phone
Google browser (I think)

The android app is absolutely abysmal. Web browser has much more functionality.
gamerchick · 08/04/2022 13:17

Seems to have stopped for me. So many thankyous Grin

Wigeon · 08/04/2022 17:13

It’s stopped happening on my iPhone/Safari browser! Flowers

Turningpurple · 08/04/2022 18:08

Mine has stopped aswell. Samsung using chrome

larkstar · 08/04/2022 23:52

Try using the Brave browser. I never see any ads.

SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 09/04/2022 07:22

Seems all better today - thanks!

Hollytreenew · 09/04/2022 09:11

Yes, seems to be fixed for me today. Came on to say thanks Mumsnet! Much better!

ShermanPea · 09/04/2022 09:26

Yes, me too.

Thanks @MNHQ

Soubriquet · 09/04/2022 09:36

The adds have stopped but I’m still finding the page laggy when typing

LilyMumsnet · 09/04/2022 10:22

Thanks so much for letting us know! Brilliant news.
If you're experiencing lag, could you try closing down and coming back in on a fresh page?

LarGoo · 09/04/2022 21:31

I’m glad the huge adds have disappeared but am also finding the site very laggy in the last 10 days -I see the OP but the rest of the posts are blank for 20-30 seconds while they load. Have closed down, tried my iPad but both are so slow (and not Wi-Fi - every other site is fine)

Beamur · 09/04/2022 21:33

No big ads today - thank you!
