I don't want Sky. I don't want a Mercedes. I simply want to read other people's threads. Sort it out please.

Mabelface · 12/03/2023 15:08

Using mumsnet is currently on par with any Reach publications website. As in shite and full of ads.

@Mabelface I hate Reach and refuse to read our local newspaper online because it’s a Reach website, once the ads cover more than 30% of the page it becomes unreadable and that’s exactly what mumsnet is like today. It only happened now and again on Friday and now it’s on every single page (including Active)

BittenontheBum · 12/03/2023 15:22

It annoyed me yesterday.
It's fucking me right off today 🙄
Happy to supply screenshot etc but as clearing cache and deleting search histories etc doesn't seem to work I'm not doing that.
MNHQ please sort it out

SocksAndTheCity · 12/03/2023 15:23

I'm getting them now too - I can't see or go straight to my notifications because there's a bloody great Mercedes banner covering the top of the screen. Android phone using FireFox.

Idratherbepaddleboarding · 12/03/2023 15:30

These stupid adverts are making the site unusable. Does anyone even click on advert except by accident 🙈?

LubaLuca · 12/03/2023 15:43

This is what I'm seeing, I can see posts like I'm peeping through a letterbox.

Not just me with this issue then!! I can barely read anything, I’ve got a holiday add covering 1/3 of the top of the screen permanently, sooo irritating!

riotlady · 12/03/2023 16:13

How is this not fixed yet???

LadyOfTheFliessssss · 12/03/2023 16:18

Same here. It's driving me batty. Can't actually concentrate on reading any threads and just click off.

LadyOfTheFliessssss · 12/03/2023 16:23

It's ridiculous!

MotherOfRatios · 12/03/2023 16:23

It's frustrating

LanaDelRabies · 12/03/2023 17:48

I thought this was a glitch on my phone! It's terrible.

Hercisback · 12/03/2023 18:07

Every bloody thread now.
How hard can this be to sort?

Richvanilla · 12/03/2023 19:06

Just another one dropping in to say same!

There is an add for hotel riu taking up half of my page. It is infuriating.

Nw22 · 12/03/2023 19:10

This I making the site unusable

BernadetteIsMySister · 12/03/2023 19:11

Another 24 hours and still not fixed? And not even an update 🙄

PaigeMatthews · 12/03/2023 19:11

Persipan · 12/03/2023 13:09

I'm sure this has already been noted, but these top-of-the-page monster ads are clearly not displaying at the correct size (unless the Hotel Riu Plaza really is in 'Manhat').

Clearly needs fixing - it's getting in the way of being able to see my Mercedes ad properly! 😂

Im only getting the Lan ones. Not even good enough for man hat.

Well it's been broken since at least Thursday so what was the excuse then?

AnotherDelphinium · 12/03/2023 19:48

Yup, I keep getting the RIU ones. I gave up on mumsnet yesterday because of it, and now more that are taking up 1/3 of the page.

I will definitely no longer touch RIU with a barge pole, and if this goes on much longer, I’ll leave mumsnet for a while too 😔

Americano75 · 12/03/2023 20:06

I've literally just started a thread on AIBU about this (a lovely poster directed me here). This is driving me mad!

I came on to start a thread on this as it has only just started happening to me and see it has been an issue for days now! Site is practically unusable for me at the moment
