Keeps happening here too. Very annoying!

SheilaFentiman · 11/03/2023 08:10

And it’s not possible to find the close button cos it goes off the screen

ElBandito · 11/03/2023 08:34

Knew there would be a thread about this. I've got this ad appearing at the moment. If I scroll the thread moves from side to side over the ad. It's really horrible to try to read.

Keeps happening on the app too.

Maybe it's all a sham to get us to sign up to premium? Wouldn't surprise me.

I pay for premium - it doesn't stop you seeing a bajillion ads....

Sophforthe100 · 11/03/2023 08:47

WTF is going on? I've got ads covering the whole page when I click on a new thread. It is making Mumsnet unusable for me.
Except on this page - no massive ads on this page.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 11/03/2023 08:55

No longer got the Mercedes ad, now got 'Award winning cat and dog'
No idea what the ad is actually for as it just blocks my screen and I can't scroll across.
But I can only assume that MANYPETS.COM are utter shite, since their adverts are breaking Mumsnet.
Seriously @LilyMumsnet could MN get a grip and sort this crap out please.

saveforthat · 11/03/2023 08:56

After about 20 years on here, I am seriously thinking of leaving because of these ads.

ETref · 11/03/2023 08:58

I'm getting this too. I cant even close the ad to get rid of it. Chrome on a Samsung phone. Really annoying!

Sophforthe100 · 11/03/2023 09:04

it's gone away now. weird.

ITV x here 🙄

Yes ive got this!

honestly its taking the fucking piss

i agree with others, its making the site completely unusable and i really don’t understand why i have to clear everything on my ipad purely because of your website

leaving here will give me so much more freetime….but as anyone who knows me would tell you THATS A BAD THING 😀

And this

Rinoachicken · 11/03/2023 09:18

For me, the ads cycle at the top - Audible and Nike are fine - normal banner size - then it chia goes to La Redoute and BAM takes up the whole screen with mostly just white space!!

And I’m not prepared to clear my entire cache and cookies on my phone, many of which I actually want and find useful, just because YOUR website isn’t working!!!

FailingFlyFightingtoFlutter · 11/03/2023 09:19

Still getting the massive adverts, and combine this with the adverts in the thread that have got even bigger and it is unreadable.

I don't use an ad blocker to support MN but MN needs to make sure adverts aren't the main focus.

Dont it doesn't fucking work and if anything all its done is make the whole thing worse. Before the ad appeared roughly every 10 threads now it's literally every other thread.

Sluj · 11/03/2023 09:31

I just came over here to start a thread on this but found you all beat me to it.
I gave up scrolling through Active this morning as there was an advert for a bathroom cabinet covering 2/5ths of the page, leaving me only able to see 3 posts at a time. Clearly a personalised ad for me as I bought this unit 3 weeks ago. No option to close it as the X was not visible.
I'm on Samsung smart phone but accessing through Chrome.

FfeminyddCymraeg · 11/03/2023 09:37

Same here. It’s fucking ridiculous 🤬

3littlebeans · 11/03/2023 09:39

Came here similarly as just started getting them this morning.

Mine was a big ebay car ad (not Mercedes sadly!) Which covered half my screen. Android phone. Really does make it unreadable. Plus combined with the large ads in the thread too its a lot of scrolling through ads.

Someone mentioned the promoted by mumsnet masquerading as threads too - that's also driving me nuts.

Very close to finally giving up on mumsnet and I'm a regular user.

JeimeHonfUcoim · 11/03/2023 09:41

I'm getting this too.
Will clear cache, as per advice upthread

LadyKenya · 11/03/2023 09:47

Same here. Keep getting these rubbish adverts that I am unable to click off from, taking up most of the page. What is going on. It is getting on my nerves!

Mabelface · 11/03/2023 09:50

Um, mumsnet team, I'm very disappointed you've not sorted this yet. It's not a difficult one. I'm not clearing anything on my phone, as my phone isn't the issue, the code on your website is.

clearing the cache hasn't helped
