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

Mine are all Chinese as far as I can tell by the writing on them. Taking up the entire screen on my lap top.

Yes, same here. Only started today and is making the site very unusable on my phone. Will definitely put me off using the sit as if is unusable with the unmovable ads, this does make me upset as I have really grown to enjoy using mumsnet.
Hope it can be sorted! Thanks.

Same, I’ve stopped using many websites purely because of ads. Mumsnet will be next, as of today.

I don't even know what the ad is for because it's just a woman's face.

MrsIronfoundersson · 08/04/2022 00:35

Interesting combination!

This is making the site almost unusable.

When I tried to turn my screen to landscape, the ad took up 95% of the screen. I couldn't read the thread.

I sincerely hope this will be sorted out soon.

Oh well it looks like I'm late to the (very annoyed) party but I'll sadly have to add to the 'I will have to leave MN if this keeps happening'.
Lots of people are posting 'On my phone'... Well I only have my phone to access MN on & these ads are making it very difficult.

Thank fuck it isn’t just me!

Ads are covering 3/4 of my screen.

Hope it gets sorted today

I also have the cows. Strangely enough not on site stuff though.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 08/04/2022 05:57

Currently have some shiny solar panels.
I was also having trouble having Mumsnet pages load yesterday... thought it was my WiFi but it was the pages with massive adverts.

BuanoKubiamVej · 08/04/2022 06:06

I've just had the infuriating experience of trying to correct a mis-chosen word in a post I was writing. At the moment there is a single line of actual page visible between the solar panels and the keyboard but when I try to scroll up to change a previous word, the solar panel picture scrolls just enough to overlap with the keyboard and I can't see a thing!

It's ridiculous and the images aren't even communicating anything.

comealongponds · 08/04/2022 06:24

Please get rid of them! They’re awful and it’s making the site unusable!

OutlookStalking · 08/04/2022 06:37

H.mm my banner us back to actual ads. Maybe its to increase our tolerance for ads.

It was a bit ransom theyre all ramd pictures so someonr somewhere intentionally did it
.. .?

Igotjelly · 08/04/2022 06:48

Can’t believe MNHQ haven’t even been back on with an update! Shocking as the site is virtually unusable!

OutlookStalking · 08/04/2022 06:50

I spoke too soon - didn't take long before the solar panels of doom were back...

Mumdiva99 · 08/04/2022 06:51

Come on Mumsnet. What is going on I can't see the typing.

Username917778 · 08/04/2022 07:00

Really thought it would have been fixed this morning. I like having a read of mumsnet whilst eating my breakfast but I'm just getting some woman staring at me for 50% of my screen. Doesn't happen on site stuff though for some reason.
