Huge adverts making site unusable

I am being plagued by a Taylor Wimpey advert. It takes up the whole page and makes it impossible to scroll. Please get it removed or made smaller.

I haven't had them on any other site I use

I'm getting the full page ads too, makes it impossible to continue with the thread you're currently reading. How do I get back to the thread?

I spend a good bit of time on reddit, and the ads there are very well placed. They are constant but less intimidating and off-putting. Less tabloid-y and cheap looking.

I imagine MN are ever so slightly desperate/struggling right now?
When things scrape the bottom of the barrel, it's usually something like that!

I was thinking this earlier, how come places like Reddit manage to have ads that aren’t remotely bothersome and yet on mumsnet they are always causing loading issues or crashing the page or covering the text. The site looks so rubbish now too, like those spam leaflets that come through the front door.

I get wanting to turn a profit but when it gets to the point that it ruins the user experience then it becomes self-defeating.

Me too, full page ad for Arden College, making it impossible to scroll. iPhone Google.

I don't even know what this is advertising but pressing skip top right just takes you to the bottom of the page while the ad is still there.

I’ve got a strange compulsion to buy a 10 gallon hat 🤔

Updating this as the new adverts that take over the whole page are ridiculous. It's making the site completely unusable. I shouldn't have to sign up to premium to use the site.
