Ad covering whole page

Chrome on laptop. The Irish ferries ad keeps covering the whole page and doesn't disappear, making it impossible to look at any threads.
At the bottom of the ad it says to scroll down to read threads ---- this doesn't work, the ad just follows down. Please, please sort this out!

I'd really like to know how to scroll past those stupid ads.
It says you can but all you can see if you scroll is the footer of the webpage & then you've lost your place on the thread you were reading.
They show up on my laptop & my tablet & it's just a giant stupid Irish Ferries ad taking up the entire page that you cannot get rid of except by refreshing the page & trying to quickly read a bit more before it's back to ruin the day again.

Same here.
"Please rotate your device" No, I want it landscape. It's my device and I'll hold it how I want.
If I scroll I can't see anything else.
Safari on an iPad.
It's coming up on every page.

Yep, same here. It's driving me nuts and will be the thing that finally drives me away if they don't sort it soon.

Same for me. Pretty embarrassing for whichever company is trying to sell to us, advertising a blank black square, that makes the website unusable 😄

Just had to abandon an attempt to reply to something as that bloody advert appeared and I had no way to get back to the answer box! Typing this against the clock in case it happens again.

Another one experiencing this - using Chrome on a laptop, and the Irish Ferries advert is totally impossible to scroll past and covers the entire page.

Same here with the Irish ferries ad
Macbook and chrome - you cannot scroll past the advert to read the rest of the thread,
Using MN less and less now , maybe a good thing .....

Yes, that Irish Ferries ad is totally crap, can't get rid of it, can't read any threads, can't scroll past it (on Chrome), I am having to log off Mumsnet and hope the problem is fixed at some point.
