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 - it’s really irritating.

LittleMissNaice · 07/04/2022 19:58

I had the pig one too. No writing on it, but I've just seen a different scrollable version that said it was sponsored by Animals for Australia (or something similar)

Karwomannghia · 07/04/2022 20:00

The cow one can’t be an advert and nothing happens when you click on it. The way it pops up is like a pop up. Seems to be a hack.

Smokeahontas · 07/04/2022 20:00

Now a pig…

Shitzngiggles · 07/04/2022 20:00

Same here.
No word from MNHQ .

Soubriquet · 07/04/2022 20:01

I’ve had an email back from MNHQ

This isn’t them and they are trying to sort it at their end

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 07/04/2022 20:01

I had the cows. And a lass with a superbly found arse clad in lycra.

Are they user targeted?

I am a cow and I have a huge arse. Although admittedly not one as bloody splendid as hers.

This one is just odd!

Round arse.

She’d have no problem finding her own arse.

FlissMumsnet · 07/04/2022 20:02

Thanks to you all for letting us know - we can absolutely understand that if ads do not scroll you're unable to read/view the thread or your own replies.

We're trying to get some answers as to why this happening and have passed on your feedback. It's a clear no to the cows and the loo cleaning!!

Coronado2 · 07/04/2022 20:05

I've been getting it randomly today too, including on this thread. Sounds like I'm doing better than some of you, at least it's an advert for a holiday (I assume, it's a nice looking pool).

They just appear when I'm scrolling either in a thread or through active too so I have accidentally clicked a couple times.

Even better, when I tried to reply to a thread just now the keyboard covered the lower half of the screen and the advert covered the whole of the top. I literally could not see a word I was typing. I just gave up.
Screenshot attached.

I have no issues with hotel chocolat, but when their advert is so inconvenient it's pushing me away from the site hosting it then somethings gone wrong.

Same here. And I'm really not impressed by the topic - picture of cute farm animal with no context, when clicked on it's about animal cruelty I farming. In Australia.

Sad I didn’t click and I’m glad I didn’t now.

Driving me absolutely mad!

I’ve got a giant pig…can’t scroll!

CheesecakeAddict · 07/04/2022 20:16

Without my glasses I thought I had a giant 420 friendly pig. I think it might be straw though?? Or is mn trying to entice the cool crowd?

Greydogs123 · 07/04/2022 20:17

I’ve just had this problem start in the last hour. It’s incredibly annoying as it means I can only read 2 posts at a time and scrolling is difficult because it’s hard to avoid the ad. @mnhq sort it out please!

AbleCable · 07/04/2022 20:18

Yes, I have the same problem. I was going to post about it, then saw this thread in Active. Its making the site unusable 😕
