I don't get this at all on the app. I don't pay and just use the app on my iPhone

WellTidy · 11/03/2023 16:47

I’m getting this and have done for a few days. I logged out and deleted all my cookies this morning, thinking that would resolve things. But still the same. This is what I’m seeing on an iPhone

Anything being done about these ads? Can't really see the posts anymore. Beginning to lose the will to live and give up.

DorisParchment · 11/03/2023 18:30

Yes, it’s shit. Ads sponsored by Gumtree for new cars taking up at least half the screen. Please get it sorted.

Dreadful on iPhone. Makes the site unusable on my phone

I'm sorry MNHQ but the number of ads is ridiculous, and I say that as a premium subscriber (which initially was sold as having less ads but I don't think it actually does).

If the site is having financial issues adding more and more ads may seem tempting but will just drive people away.

(Would be happy to pay more for my subscription to have no ads btw)

SevenSevensAre49 · 12/03/2023 08:53

No better today. Always the same as for cheap-looking loafers. Giving up and heading elsewhere now.

It's so shit

Time for a different chat forum! Reddit?

MindfulMess · 12/03/2023 08:54

Can’t believe this is still going on tbh. The site is malfunctioning but MN are not doing anything about it?!?

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 12/03/2023 08:58

FYI I see this thread as:

Unobtrusive banner ad at top
Opening post
1/2 page MN ad
5 posts
Full page ad
5 posts
Full page ad
5 posts
Full page ad
5 posts
1/2 page ad
16 posts so far and no more ads...

The full page ads in really break the flow when you are reading through a thread (mobile site)

I'm interested to know how many ads non-premium subscribers endure...

Butterflywing · 12/03/2023 08:58

I have just reported these complaints to Mumsnet HQ using the report button.

Content on MN is unreadable now. Perhaps using a laptop is better?.I won't be trying to use MN on my phone any more.

Butterflywing · 12/03/2023 09:02

Look how this ad covers up my post!! @mumsnet

tribpot · 12/03/2023 09:07

Yep, I've been having similar problems on my phone, it's much more manageable on my laptop. Over on this thread , @agapornis identified the rogue domain as eb2.3lift.com so I'm going to try blocking that on my router.

Butterflywing · 12/03/2023 09:11

MN is completely unusable, no longer even able to post anything as ads get in the way @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet

Everything keeps freezing and you cannot delete either!?!

Anyone else also getting ads in various languages now? I’m getting the same ad for what I think must be some antenatal vitamins or probiotics in various languages.

I haven't shown any interest in cars or roper Rhodes Hampton whatever that is so why are these ad banners dominating my screen so much I can't see anything else?!

I’m getting it on the home screen too! Given up until it’s fixed. On iPhone.

This is so annoying! I’m on an iPhone.

I’m on this page

www.mumsnet.com/talk/site_stuff/4760614-ads-now-covering-entire-page?page=2&reply=124573219

and I have this ad at the top there’s no way to remove it.

stealthninjamum · 12/03/2023 09:30

And as I scrolled down another ad appeared.

My screen looked like this.

I’m so annoyed I’m going to switch off my phone to do housework.

You can't even read the whole advert, it's like it thinks my phone is twice as wide as it is. What's the point??

Feels like I've got one of those migraines where my vision narrows and I can only see a fraction of what I can normally see.

Is this purposeful? Because if it is, it's shit. If it's not, what's going on?
