For the love of God why is this happening again?!

Rotating the device just makes the black advert take over the entire screen. You then can’t scroll past it or read anything under it. So annoying!

Hi all

We're so sorry about this - can we check your devices/browsers and ask if you're using an ad blocker?

Massive adverts on the desktop site taking over half the page again! Loads of posts unable to be read or clicked on.
Why is the onus on the user to install ad-blockers? You should not be allowing massive bloody adverts to make your website unusable.

Still here too - loads this morning. Seems to be when the Pampers ad is at the side ?

Hi

Is anyone able to click on the ad and give us the URL to the page it takes you to?

Levriers · 12/05/2022 17:03

I have tried to do this but the advert gives nothing. Clicking the black advert does nothing & takes you nowhere. Rotating the screen just gives a white box

I've started noticing that many comments are being cut off mid flow.
I'm using an iPhone.

Clicking on the black advert does nothing. This is the other advert on the screen at the same time.

Thanks. Can you also look into why messages are being cut off before the end? I'm using an iPhone 8. Latest iOS.

Different ad in the bottom corner this time. Happened about 5 times this morning already

I’m getting this on an iPad too. Also, there seems to be something on the left hand of the screen block the text a little bit. I have to keep re-sizing the text to read it all.

EmmaH2022 · 13/05/2022 10:36

So what is the black advert? It looks like the screen has been taken over by a hacker.

NippyWoowoo · 13/05/2022 10:38

The app is also a mess again. Posts all in one block, hard to see where a quoted post ends and the comment begins. Also if it's a long reply it gets cut off.

And still unable to quote a quoted post in the app, please sort! I find the app much easier to read

on most pages now so site is unusable

WhenDovesFly · 13/05/2022 11:35

I'm getting it today for the first time. I'm on a desktop computer and logged in via Google, not the app. The only way I can get rid of it is by going back to the thread list and reopening the thread, or changing the page if it's a multiple page thread, and then going back. Bloody nuisance!

WhenDovesFly · 13/05/2022 11:36

And I don't have an ad blocker

@LilyMumsnet still happening… why?!
I’ve seen another thread on site stuff about it as well.

It makes the site totally unusable as it’s always over the OP.
