Advert smack bang in the middle of the page?

Anyone else having this one? Ad for P&O appearing in the middle of my screen, at the bottom. There's an X to get rid, but it's intensely irritating.

Hi OP

Can you let us know what device and browser you're using, and attach a screenshot of the advert? We can take a look to see if it's appearing as it should, or if somethings not quite right.

Will do when it pops up again!

It does go when the “x” is pressed, but returns on the same page as soon as I scroll down.

Thanks so much for this! Are you in desktop view?

HauntedPollingBooth · 02/07/2024 16:37

Weirdly I haven't had it since I reported it. (Chrome,laptop,Windows 11)

Yes, in desktop view.

I had this ad this morning. Clicked the cross to close it but it just keeps popping up again on the same page as I scroll. Safari, iPad.

Thanks all. We've had a look and it appears the ad is misbehaving because it's not built for mobile site in desktop mode. If you change your browser settings and view the mobile site, this should sort it for you.

ElBandito · 05/07/2024 09:22

I have no idea what setting you are talking about.

DawnMumsnet · 05/07/2024 12:12

@ElBandito at the foot of your screen there should be a bar that says mumsnet.com, which has two different size capital As to the left. If you tap on the AAs you'll hopefully get a pop-up menu that includes the option 'Request Mobile Website' - tap on that and you'll switch over to the mobile version.

Hope that makes sense but let us know if not.

Is this still happening for anyone else? Every minute it is popping up 😡

Patatochake · 25/08/2024 22:30

Yes I’ve had it several times this evening and had to go back to reset

567and · 28/08/2024 16:55

I’ve been getting this too. It’s just happened so I’ve screen shot it. It’s so annoying. I’m on an iPhone using safari browser.

Hi all

If you're still experiencing the issue, can you please switch over to the mobile version of the site as mentioned above? Please let us know if that sorts it.

567and · 29/08/2024 07:39

@LilyMumsnet I checked and I’m already using the mobile version of the website but the pop up still happens.

I've had this ad about 6 times already this morning and I've only been on MN for an hour!

This site is getting ridiculous for the amount of intrusive ads.

I've just had FOUR pop-ups on my screen this morning, browsing using Chrome on a Chromebook. No, I don't want to sign up for the millions of emails you send out daily, Mumsnet. If I close one pop-up, that should be the end of it. FFS this site is becoming less useable by the second.

Please could you get us the URL to the advert? You'll need to click the advert and copy and paste the URL of the page it takes you to. This will help us locate it quicker.

I cleared cookies etc as suggested but it's still appearing so obviously not fixed.
