Advert making me rotate screen

5 replies

Fizzadora · 01/11/2023 10:40

I use a tablet in landscape format as it has a built in stand and I use the website not the app, to try and reduce adverts.
All good until this morning when I keep getting a blank, black box appearing. It's only in threads, not on the home page and is headed advertisement and tells me to rotate my screen and virtually blocking out the page. I can see just what's above and below it but not what's behind the box unless I rotate to portrait. At the bottom of the black box it says keep scrolling to continue.
No advert appears until I have scrolled up a bit in portrait mode then I get a massive Sky advert that sort of moves up the page in a weird way so I think it's this that's the problem.
Any ideas anyone or is it telling me to get off MN and get a life?

Hi OP

We're really keen to investigate this - please can you let us know what device and browser you're using and next time it happens, please can you grab us a screenshot? Flowers

Hi OP

To add, if you see this again then please can you click on it? If you can copy and paste the URL it takes you to, that'd be really helpful.

Sorry OP, we mean can you click the blank square and see where it takes you? Or is there no click-through? This seems isolated at the moment but can assure you we are looking into it and want to get to the bottom of it ASAP. Thank you so much for the SS!

Ah, no worries OP. Thanks for all the information - we're on it. Can we just ask, are you using an ad blocker?

Thanks OP - not much of an update but this is being investigated and as soon as we have some information, we'll let you know.
