I’ve had one for tours of Auschwitz on a Gary Lineker thread. FFS.

Site is totally unusable for me. The top ad which takes up a third of the screen can't be scrolled past or closed. I've tried deleting cookies and cache and it made no difference at all.

I came here to see if anyone else had this problem or if it was my phone.
It's making MN practically unusable! The adverts at the top are covering a third of the page and there is another giant one in the middle, then the MN question, then another ad at the bottom! Angry
I'm on a Samsung mobile using Chrome.

Hi again

If this is still an issue for you, please could we ask that you clear your cookies/cache? We are hopeful that this will resolve it, but please let us know either way.

That's the Mumsnet version of turning it off and turning it on again isn't it?

Didn't make any difference.

Hello and thanks v much for the screenshots. If you could also share the URL of the page where this is happening, that would be enormously helpful. We're really sorry for the annoyance - we're working to get this sorted ASAP.

www.mumsnet.com/talk/site_stuff/4759656-ads-covering-a-third-of-the-page it's happening on this very thread.

DirectionToPerfection · 11/03/2023 16:53

I imagine we're all getting different ads based on an algorithm. I've been browsing car websites the last few days and all my ads are for cars.

Takes over the page and is extremely annoying.

FailingFlyFightingtoFlutter · 11/03/2023 17:07

How does the URL help? It i an issue with MN and MN only. I can read five posts then the advert appears.

Lots of users have already shared the URLs genuinely just how many do you need to try to implement some sort of fix?

It's happening on almost every bloody thread so I'm not sure how every user sending you thousands of URLs of each thread is going to be much use to you.

MissMissive · 11/03/2023 17:13

I got this for the first time today, I thought people might be complaining a bit too much, but no, it’s genuinely so irritating you can’t read the thread. It’s like trying to look under a tent flap to read a newspaper.

It's been a couple of days now hasn't it? I get lulled into a false sense of security, browse 2 threads trouble-free and then '"Wham!" I'm faced with this.

I've got a Naproxen painkiller and Merc and stalking me.

Mehmeh22 · 11/03/2023 17:45

Genuinely going to stop using this site if this is what I have to put up with. It's infuriating!!

It's bad enough that when you try to post the cursor messes about and the spaces between paragraphs are huge making it look like im thick!!

@mnhq SORT IT OUT

gamerchick · 11/03/2023 17:49

Manypets.com can get stuffed as well. No need for adverts that big like.

imnotsickbutimnotwell · 11/03/2023 17:50

Site is totally unusable. So fed up with the ads which are either inappropriate or not setup properly like this one which is covering the page on every thread I go to and active!!

riotlady · 11/03/2023 18:00

Literally the top 4 threads on site stuff are about ads! Ridiculous! The Mercedes one is stalking me through every thread, currently here

riotlady · 11/03/2023 18:01

Also if it’s algorithm based they’ve clearly pegged me wrong if they think I can afford a merc 😂

Nucon · 11/03/2023 18:07

Also came here to see if there was a thread or if it’s just me! Mine is Sykes cottages, but it’s on every thread I go on, so I don’t know how I’m supposed to get the url of them all?

Mumsnet you are making my completely idle Saturday of doomscrolling and looking at nice things on Style and Beauty a SAD experience.
I’m going to have to turn off my phone and interact with my husband who is watching the rugby now. Probably going to have to get him some crisps or something.
