Ad madness - what's going on?

[Time40]

The whole look of MN has changed for me. There are suddenly lots of ads around the edges of the screen, and many of the threads have a really massive ad that fills about half the screen and makes it impossible to read the first post - even when scrolling up and down, some of the first post is hidden by the huge ad. MN is more or less unusable for me at the moment ... what's happening? I'm on a laptop, not on my phone.

This is driving me up the wall now.

What is with the awful ads that obliterate half the thread? You scroll past it but some of the posts are still blocked. I was trying to do an advanced search and it was impossible to complete as the ad covered the search boxes

Totally mad!
When I went to talk topics the advert covered from Blogs to Special Needs, which is the vast majority of the list and scrolling past as they recommended did nothing to access the ad covered topics.
Same happens on individual threads

Cant read anything- the North Face ad spilts the posts in half and both halves then scroll. The OP vanishes and the rest move up and down

The only way to get rid of it is to refresh the page. It’s beyond annoying. 🤬

If we wanted wall to wall ads and pop-ups then we'd have joined 'the other site'...

It's driving me mad. Bloody norh face

Even when I refresh the page the bloody thing appears again 🤬

Yes. 🤬🥵

Same here, big black banner “rotate the page”. Keeps happening. Off to join netmums!

The site is pretty much unusable because of the North Face advert.

This massive advert obliterating everything is ridiculous. I have to keep refreshing the page in order to read anything. Extremely annoying. Same on laptop and phone.

Ahhhhh same happening to me

I can’t even do a new thread

And all over the main topics board

Please fix this!

Ahhhhhhhhh everywhere whether on iPad or iPhone

It’s definitely not making me want to buy anything from The North Face now or ever.

use ad blocker

same here. It's infuriating - using Edge on a PC

@MNHQ can you please look into this it’s beyond annoying!

Hi all

We know what the issue is and we're working on a fix as we speak.
It shouldn't be too long - in the meantime, we're really sorry for any inconvenience this is causing.
