Anyone else getting a Sainsbury's add that covers the whole page? It says to scroll down to see content but the content is scrolling behind the advert and I can't get past it. Very frustrating.

OP is https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4898404-charity-shop-prices, using Firefox.

Hi @MabelMaybe

Thanks for letting us know.
We're aware of this and we're looking into it.

Can we ask - are you on a tablet or phone?

MabelMaybe · 18/01/2024 13:22

Mine too, Firefox on a Mac Book running Ventura 13.6.3. Ugh.

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 19/01/2024 08:57

Bloody hell it's annoying.

On Mac laptop.

ElBandito · 19/01/2024 09:24

I'm on a tablet and I hold it landscape. If I turn it portrait the Sainsburys ad disappears and comes back if I turn it portrait again.

JadziaD · 19/01/2024 09:50

Yup. All day yesterday and today I'm getting it with the side bar ads - they're growing to take up half the screen.

MacBook Air. Safari.

ImCamembertTheBigCheese · 19/01/2024 10:27

I'm on a laptop and have the same thing.

JoMumsnet · 19/01/2024 11:16

Thanks, everyone. We're still looking into this and will be back with an update as soon as we can.

JoMumsnet · 19/01/2024 14:30

Hi again - we've managed to track and block these ads by now but please let us know if they're still cropping up.

Thank you.

PinkTonic · 19/01/2024 15:21

I’m still getting them, safari on iPad. @JoMumsnet

thetemptationofchocolate · 19/01/2024 15:26

This has also just happened to me, I'm on a PC. Doesn't happen on every thread.

SpongeBoobBigPants · 19/01/2024 16:04

I’m still getting them, using Safari on an ipad.

SequentialAnalyst · 19/01/2024 17:23

Just had one, Chrome on PC.

LilyMumsnet · 19/01/2024 18:06

Thanks all - we'll take another look. If you can, could you click the advert and send us the URL it takes you to? We just need to see if the link has changed.

HairyQueenofSnots · 19/01/2024 18:28

Yep, just saw one. Will try and grab the link if it happens again....

HebeMumsnet · 22/01/2024 11:03

Thanks for all your help with sending through info on this, everyone. We're still looking into it but hope to have it sorted soon. You could in the meantime try clearing your cookies and cached images, if they still appear, should only display a few times before no longer targeting you.

We'll be back as soon as there's an update.

Levriers · 23/01/2024 07:03

Still happening this morning 🙄

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 23/01/2024 14:15

Happening to me today, not happened previously - Safari on iPad.

Can we just double check that you've tried clearing your cache?

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 23/01/2024 17:30

@LilyMumsnet I have done now. I’ll let you know if it comes back.

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 24/01/2024 09:46

Still happens occasionally even though I’ve cleared my cache. Not covering the whole page but still annoyingly across the thread.

Same here - I am using a chromebook

SoundTheSirens · 24/01/2024 12:02

Only just started happening to me today after I cleared my cache yesterday (for unrelated reasons). Laptop, MS Edge browser.

SoundTheSirens · 24/01/2024 12:07

Voila.
