Mumsnet is now unusable on my iPhone. Started a couple of days ago. I'm getting repetitive strain injury from the endless fucking scrolling to try to get past humongous adverts (many of which are gruesomely awful).

I'm on my laptop now on which I have installed uBlock Origin, a free ad blocker.

Do you not use the App? That's the only way I use MN. No ads besides the small ones midway through a thread

Wednesdaysotherchild · 11/03/2023 13:24

Yeah, threads are unreadable on my phone now with a third to half the page covered in car adverts (I don’t even drive). Please can you fix this!

Use the app!

SchoolTripDrama · 12/03/2023 10:06

I don't understand why those of you on iPhone aren't using the app?? I do and I only get tiny ads mid way through a thread

Bard6817 · 12/03/2023 10:07

Sorry mumsnet. Bye.

half page adverts on my iPhone, not for me.

Afraid I will be taking my free financial and investment knowledge for mumsnetters elsewhere. Tis just driving me mad - and that’s trying to read.

can’t believe I’m going to be back on Facebook.

GertrudeBell · 12/03/2023 10:08

I uploaded an adblocker a couple of weeks ago because of the porny Ann Summers adverts (which MN claimed we’re a consequence of browsing activity and not their commercial partnership - pure gaslighting).

I didn’t want to do it but it has been bliss. Would strongly recommend.

I like hopping about between different websites, as do most people.

Spudlet · 12/03/2023 10:18

I have loads of apps on my phone, I’ve no interest in getting another, taking up space and making it a PITA to browse around the web.

I can live with the ads in between posts. But the popup ads that cover 1/3 of the screen are annoying .

What makes it unusable are the ads that popup as I'm typing a post that obscure half the screen, but with the keyboard on my phone also taking up the bottom half of the page it means I'm left being able to see one solitary line of text.

Happening now. Android. Several posts.

DrMadelineMaxwell · 12/03/2023 10:49

The ad scrolls down as you do so starts at the top of the page and when you scroll to see your text it covers more and more of the page.

Your site is unusable.
the adds mean that it is impossible to actually read or look at threads
seriously sort this out

JuneOsborne · 12/03/2023 11:11

When you click 'see next' the ad covers the next post ?, So you have to scroll to see it. That's annoying.

Creationary · 12/03/2023 11:17

The irony of reading this thread about ads blocking posts and the ad blocks the post.

Every thread I read it happens to no matter whether I'm in relationships or AIBU

Huge ad blocking on this very thread. I don’t understand how this is taking so long to resolve and why munsnethq need screenshots. Just browse the site! It happens on almost every thread!

CeeceeBloomingdale · 12/03/2023 11:33

The site is now unusable

Steakandquinoa · 12/03/2023 11:41

infuriating. It’s really helping my mumsnet addiction to be fair. Can’t stand more than a couple of minutes.

Trouble with the app is it doesn't have the full functionality of the mobile site.

But yes, it has to be better than this shambles.

Ad blocker is your friend

QueefofSheena · 12/03/2023 13:06

MN’s IT support has always been shit and seemingly low priority judging by the frequency of hacks, but this is a new low. It’s unusable.

Nimbostratus100 · 12/03/2023 15:14

Ive had an add covering my entire screen 6 times in the last 4 minutes, for more than 30 seconds each time

IClaudine · 12/03/2023 16:26

It is soooo annoying.
