Can't see the threads because of HUGE adverts!

Trying to read threads tonight and HUGE adverts are obscuring all the OP's. I can read the comments about two rows down, but as I can't read the OP that's pretty useless. What have you done???

Same for me huge North face ad. I just can't read threads at all

Giggorata · 19/04/2022 11:54

FGS, Mumsnet, get rid of these intrusive blackout adverts.
I'm giving you a miss for a while, it's too annoying

wonderwoman26 · 19/04/2022 11:56

Dcfabyty · 19/04/2022 11:58

the site is pretty is unusable with these huge ads blocking the whole page, can't read anything.

Donkeyinamanger · 19/04/2022 11:59

Me too, just had the North Face ad making an OP unreadable.

PatriciaHolm · 19/04/2022 12:00

Yep, me too! North Face ad making it impossible to read, or post, as it covers the post CTA.

Donkeyinamanger · 19/04/2022 12:00

And ironically, as soon as I posted that it has popped up in the middle of this thread for me.

Peaness · 19/04/2022 12:05

Hoppinggreen · 19/04/2022 12:06

bettytaghetti · 19/04/2022 12:20

Just came to post the same problem. Clicked on a thread and can't see the op Confused

ticktockriojaoclock · 19/04/2022 12:24

Try using a browser with an adblocker like brave.

Belkell · 19/04/2022 12:26

Hi. Me too. iPad with safari

Can’t read the OP

Can't see the threads because of HUGE adverts!
thesugarbumfairy · 19/04/2022 12:32

I had this, ironically, when trying to read your OP, which I couldn't, because of the huge advert.

However I just logged in (I'm on a pc) and its gone. Not sure if that's co-incidence or not.

anotherbrewplease · 19/04/2022 14:17

It stopped for a while and now it's back AGAIN.

Terrible - please make it stop

MrsDanversBroom · 19/04/2022 14:24

WTF? The ads make the site impossible to read, please make them go away!

MrsDanversBroom · 19/04/2022 14:25

Itsa huge North Face ad for me too, asking me to rotate my screen

dammit88 · 19/04/2022 14:32

same here

IsadoraQuagmire · 19/04/2022 14:42

I had it just now when trying to reply to a thread. I couldn't see my reply (in preview) at all. Using Safari.

IsadoraQuagmire · 19/04/2022 14:44

And just clicked on another thread and couldn't read the OP at all due to HUGE ad!

popcornsong · 19/04/2022 14:45

I have the same problem. Using Safari on a desktop. Site now unusable for me. Also - will never buy North Face!

GCAcademic · 19/04/2022 14:46

I’ve had this problem today, using Safari. I’ve now downloaded an adblocker, I’m afraid. If this was a one-off, I’d bear with MN’s IT people, but this kind of problem has been going on for months now.

notangelinajolie · 19/04/2022 14:46

It just happened to me. I was able to get rid of it by refreshing the page. Very frustrating.

Greyhare · 19/04/2022 14:47

Same here on safari, is this just a ploy to try to get more people to upgrade 🤔

purpleleotard · 19/04/2022 14:49

just MN trying to increase their profile to their advertisers.

I don't like it so have been on the site much less.
