Hi OP

Do you know what the advert was, or are you able to click it so we can find out? Flowers

GoingToBeLessRubbishAtLife · 22/09/2023 15:46

Hi @LilyMumsnet it said ‘turn your device’ so I did. Then all the adverts were blank white spaces, but when I clicked ‘see all OPs posts’ then it was a Tui advert.

Thanks OP - that's really helpful and we're investigating it now.

LilyMumsnet · 22/09/2023 16:24

Hi OP

Sorry one more thing - can we also have a link to the thread that you saw this on?

I’m getting it constantly as well.

OnAFrolicOfMyOwn · 22/09/2023 18:47

Just had it for 'Blue Cabin Playset'.

WiddlinDiddlin · 22/09/2023 18:57

Ditto, Blueys Cabin Play set, can't remember the thread but might be able to back through and find it in a sec.

Second time today though.

The last time was this thread, not sure what the previous one was.

First time I couldn't scroll at all.

On the second one, I could, but it blocked the same part of the thread the whole time so that bit was never viewable.

I’m also getting the huge Tui advert popping open without warning and taking over the screen.

HebeMumsnet · 25/09/2023 09:58

Morning, everyone. We're still looking into this but hope to have it sorted soon. Can we ask if people are still seeing these problematic ads, and where?

GoingToBeLessRubbishAtLife · 25/09/2023 10:25

@HebeMumsnet I’m not seeing them anymore.

I hadn't... but just now, ad for Cookeez Makery pink plastic tat for girls, covering this thread https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4906585-to-think-this-mum-is-a-bitch - on a PC, whilst it scrolls its obscures half the OP and some of subsequent replies and never functions properly to reveal all of whats under it.

HebeMumsnet · 27/09/2023 10:43

Hi again @WiddlinDiddlin. Thanks for sending this through. Next time you spot this could you possibly also send a click-through URL and/or a screenshot of the Ad? And the webpage you have most recently seen it on, as you've done above. That will help us to track down the specific ad that's a problem. Thank you. Flowers

Just had it for something called 'unlock your family wealth plan'

On this thread https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/the_litter_tray/4879475-potential-new-inmate-at-toddler-towers?reply=129500220

Raera · 27/09/2023 18:59

family wealth plan here too, happened maybe 4 times all on different threads

OnAFrolicOfMyOwn · 27/09/2023 19:08

Family Wealth thing seems to be popping up on the active screen rather than on threads.

RufustheFactualReindeer · 27/09/2023 20:56

honestly i have lost count of how many times this sort of thing happens on mumsnet

PickAChew · 27/09/2023 20:59

I've had the bupa one take over the page a few times. Always end up navigating out of the thread, trying to get rid.

PhilMitchellsleatherbomber · 27/09/2023 23:39

I’m getting this constantly again this evening, please make it stop

I just got it too. Very annoying

GoingToBeLessRubbishAtLife · 25/09/2023 10:25

@HebeMumsnet I’m not seeing them anymore.

I spoke too soon. They’re back again.
