Ad covering whole page

61 replies

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.

ElBandito · 19/05/2022 07:13

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.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 19/05/2022 07:13

Came here to report the same issue! There seems to be no way to get rid of it.

bruffin · 19/05/2022 07:19

Same issue here, chrome on laptop

FieryPitOfMordor · 19/05/2022 07:21

Exactly the same issue as @ElBandito

It makes the site unusable at times.

Shodan · 19/05/2022 07:33

Same here. Make it go away Angry

QuitMoaning · 19/05/2022 07:34

Same here. Just cannot use the site when dictated to by the ads. Using Safar.

WhenDovesFly · 19/05/2022 07:37

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.

HidingFromDD · 19/05/2022 07:38

same here, firefox on mac.

EscapeTheCastle · 19/05/2022 07:40

Me too, I was writing this comment and BANG it was in my way again and i couldn't finish what I was writing!

TheHumanSatsuma · 19/05/2022 07:54

Same here, chrome on i pad.

NewandNotImproved · 19/05/2022 07:59

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

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 19/05/2022 08:16

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.

RedDiamond · 19/05/2022 08:28

Argh! Me too! Irish ferries advert covering whole page and not able to scroll past it. Laptop using Chrome.

SomethingToDefend · 19/05/2022 08:29

I'm use Safari on an iPad. I keep getting a Waitrose banner covering a third of the screen and the remaining two thirds freezes.

FabricPigeon · 19/05/2022 08:37

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.

bookbook · 19/05/2022 08:45

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 .....

Maddaddam · 19/05/2022 08:48

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.

Mass email them. So ruddy annoying

kennythekangaroo · 19/05/2022 09:00

Same here with Safari on a MacBook

KatherineJaneway · 19/05/2022 09:19

I'm getting the same thing. Edge on Windows laptop.

Miller2021 · 19/05/2022 09:32

Same issue, Firefox on desktop. Makes the whole site unuseable.

Exactly this! Had to come into my phone to report in the end.

Windows laptop using Edge

Please sort. MN is impossible to use ATM 😡

KimMumsnet · 19/05/2022 09:56

Good morning - thanks for alerting us to this, we are on the case with it and that ad will be stopped asap.
Thanks for your patience.

RitaFaircloughsWig · 19/05/2022 09:56

Thank God this has been highlighted! It's a nightmare!!
