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

Interesting insights to your browsing history - the ads reflect your browsing history and what you Google / search on Instagram etc.

I use an ad blocker and don’t get any adverts, you can get them for mobile and desktop browsers. Try it!

I’ve currently got the cows. I promise you I’ve not been googling cows.

I’ve got a pig sucking a straw. Perhaps I’ve been browsing bacon?Grin

Seriously this might be the end of me on mumsnet.

I'm still being plagued and can't see the text box

Igotjelly · 08/04/2022 07:38

Not fixed for me unfortunately

saraclara · 08/04/2022 07:40

I've got the little pig too.

LizziesTwin · 08/04/2022 07:41

Pig ad for me. I’d quite like a pet pig but I don’t think you can get them at Pets At Home.

Don’t be fooled. It stopped for me - then came back.

Still doing it... Just not EVERY page now, only every couple.

Gonegrey31 · 08/04/2022 08:00

Constantly getting ads please MNHQ get it sorted.

Somanysocks · 08/04/2022 08:11

Still happening, so am going to have to leave the site, it's too annoying.

The adds don't even reflect my searches, how can they when we are all seeing the poor cows?

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 08/04/2022 08:13

Yeah cap woman is throwing me a funny look now 😑

Any update @mnhq?

Is this some kind of hack?

OP posts:
ABitDrunk · 08/04/2022 08:26

An update would be good. This is annoying. And if it's a hack, a bit weird. I can't imagine that it isn't a hack.

I have got unhappy cows. I'm already a vegetarian and I'm not in Australia so what purpose is this serving other than to get me to exit the site and do something useful with my day?

knittingaddict · 08/04/2022 08:33

I had a picture of Gwyneth Paltrow. That is definitely not a reflection of my search history.

Bigassbeebuzzbuzz · 08/04/2022 08:44

I've got David Scwimmer this morning Confused

ClaudineClare · 08/04/2022 08:48
