Ad madness - what's going on?

47 replies

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.

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. 🤬

TFMinx · 19/04/2022 13:24

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

sleepymum50 · 19/04/2022 13:39

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

outdooryone · 19/04/2022 13:48

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

porridgecake · 19/04/2022 13:48

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.

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/04/2022 13:53

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/04/2022 13:55

IchBinAnnaOfCleves · 19/04/2022 14:38

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

mrziggycoco · 19/04/2022 14:39

NeverSayNeverAgainMaybe · 19/04/2022 14:43
