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

Yes, me too, it is annoying, can’t close it or get to anything underneath it - like notifications.

IcedOatLatte · 07/04/2022 19:27

Me too, massive sheep advert on my phone

I’ve had the cow one and a piglet. The cow one is a distressing image as the cows look like they have something wrapped round them. Makes me think it’s a hack or something? No branding- animals rights groups? I don’t even eat cows or pigs and I don’t want to see that!!

Ellewoods20 · 07/04/2022 19:39

Same here

Just commenting to see a message that it’s been sorted out. I’m off before I put my foot through the screen.

It’s beyond annoying.

ToManderleyAgain · 07/04/2022 19:41

Can confirm: this is super annoying

I’ve got the cow one too. What’s up with those cows, are they in a call centre or something?!

LadyCatStark · 07/04/2022 19:44

Urgh they’re hideous! Does anyone ever actual even buy things they’ve seen on ads or even click on the links? Mine clearly isn’t tailored to me very well as it keeps showing me Versace swimwear when I’m sat in a freezing cold home that I can’t afford to heat 😂🙈.

Soubriquet · 07/04/2022 19:49

Me too

I've got the distressing cow one now too.

GeorgesMarvelousCalpol · 07/04/2022 19:52

Me too, but not in this thread funnily enough!

Soubriquet · 07/04/2022 19:53

I got that cow one on this thread

Wailywailywaily · 07/04/2022 19:53

I got the cow one, what is going on in the picture? It looks really distressing.

UniKittie · 07/04/2022 19:53

Happening to me on any thread I go on. Using Safari on an iPhone 11.

Mumsnet HQ did threaten us with a future of bigger/more intrusive ads didn’t they, if we didn’t cough up for mumsnet ‘premium’? I wonder if this is their plan for the future.

jugglerofballs · 07/04/2022 19:54

Same here. Super annoying. As if all the ads aren’t bad enough.

It better not be

I won’t be blackmailed into paying for premium

Smokeahontas · 07/04/2022 19:55

Same here, the cows one. So annoying.

I’ll be off if that’s the case Confused
Wailywailywaily · 07/04/2022 19:55

But the pictures don’t seem to be actually advertising anything, just a picture and a really distressing one at that.

Bundlebuns · 07/04/2022 19:56

Me too. I immediately leave the thread if the ad is stuck there. Totally annoying

Well at least it will make weaning myself off MN a whole lot easier!
