Yet again, an ad covering the page and asking me to rotate my device. Also covering the first couple of posts.

Hi OP

We're investigating now.

We appreciate we've probably got this on another thread but can you give us your device and browser and let us know where this happened on the site?

SecretVictoria · 21/07/2022 12:01

@LilyMumsnet It was iPad on Google Chrome on Chat.

Thank you!

Has it happened since, and are you able to click on the advert to see if it leads you anywhere? If so, can you copy and paste the url to us?

SecretVictoria · 21/07/2022 17:22

@LilyMumsnet I’ll take a look when I’m next on my iPad.

Pages sticking, blank screen and /or not moving after scrolling past an ad. Happening for two days.

iPhone, not the app, safari. This problem keeps resurfacing, I thought it would be fixed by now?

Hello

We were really sure that we located the source and blocked it - but we're investigating it again now. We do apologise for this. Can you let us know if you're using ad block?

SoosanCarter · 23/07/2022 02:48

It’s still happening IPad Safari

Hi, copied and posting this from the other thread:

Hi, I don’t have an ad blocker, only if there’s something in built in to the iOS updates. However I have updated a second time and 🤞 I no longer seem to be having any issues. This is on my iPhone (12). I’ve been on the site without issues since the second update yesterday PM.

daisychain01 · 24/07/2022 05:20

Just adding to this thread that I'm on iPad using Chrome, and that the hateful ad is back.

AgentProvocateur · 24/07/2022 06:02

So many big ads to scroll past too.

Yip back with me too, Google iPad 😭

NewCatName · 24/07/2022 19:00

Ugh this is so annoying.

iPhone app is completely missing @takeitorleaveit’s post - covered by an ad.
I logged into desktop just to show the difference @mnhq

Me too. IPad Safari, all curren5 versions, can’t be doing with this any more.

I was made redundant from an IT role 5 years ago and all I’ve had since is people telling me their IT is crap because they can’t get the staff. I’m not the most patient end user.

WhatICallMyUsername · 25/07/2022 11:23

@NewCatName I've been having this issue since last August and no resolution! I gave up updating my thread about it in February!

GirlInACountrySong · 25/07/2022 11:25

It's not acceptable! Hope you don't pay for 'premium'

Took them ages to fix the 'allow storage' issue

GrimOutHere · 25/07/2022 11:54

Happened again. iPad safari iOS 15.5
Tried clicking on the blackness and got odd links to little foodie videos.

Thanks so much for flagging this issue up - we're so sorry to hear that it's happening again. We've alerted our Tech team and they will take a look as soon as they can.

Thanks so much for the screenshots and other information on your posts - it's all really helpful and we'll do our best to get things sorted as soon as we can.

The best thing I did was to install Brave browser which allows ad free browsing. I use it just for MN because every other site (even those with ads) are still useable. MN on Chrome was melting my laptop cos of all the ads, the fan would start up and only stop when I killed MN.
