Jet2 ad constantly popping up

82 replies

CorragMacDonald · 01/03/2025 06:46

There's an advert for Jet2 that constantly pops up when I'm on Active Threads. I can close it but it pops back up again after a few seconds even if I haven't refreshed the page.

It covers the navigation bar at the bottom - sometimes takes up about half the screen but sometimes when it pops back up only the top of the ad shows.

I'm using the mobile app via Samsung Internet on Android.

Its been that annoying to the point where I never want to use Jet2 as I'm sick of the sight of it.

this,

Yes came here to talk about the same thing, it’s preventing me from navigating the site. iPhone 13 on the latest version of iOS, using Chrome.

Same here, iPhone using Ecosia.

I still have that situation that’s been going on for months where I get thrown back up to the top of threads randomly, and also large expanses of white. Anyone else get that?

SnakesAndArrows · 01/03/2025 11:01

Same here on iPhone and iPad. Unusable - off to do something better with my time until it’s gone.

Yes, I’ve been getting that too.

And this advert, which is what I came here to post about and found this thread already here.

As PPs have said, all in all another reason to go find other sources of downtime.

vodkaredbullgirl · 01/03/2025 11:09

Same on my phone, driving me mad so now on my laptop.

Savemefromwetdog · 01/03/2025 11:14

Yes, please sort this MN.

Also - annoying ads make me purposely AVOID using the companies. So it’s anti-advertising

StumbleInTheDebris · 01/03/2025 11:48

It's popping up over half the screen, and the nav bar, for me too (firefox mobile site).

I've persevered through the lagging and freezing for what seems like a year but I don't have the energy to be playing whack-a-mole with popups.

Stickersandlollipops · 01/03/2025 12:24

Yep, so annoying. It’s making the site almost unusable.

SirChenjins · 01/03/2025 12:30

Glad it’s not just mine - it’s been driving me mad. iPhone here.

HerbertVonDoodlebug · 01/03/2025 12:47

Argh yes me too. MNHQ please don’t introduce this kind of ad, terrible for accessibility and really distracting and offputting

ThisIsMyYearToFindMyself · 01/03/2025 12:56

iPhone, Google Chrome.

Reddit is fast becoming my choice of chat forums.

And, again, no other website I go on has as many issues as Mumsnet. Ever.

VimesandhisCardboardBoots · 01/03/2025 14:28

Android here, and yes, it's bloody annoying. I'm already on holiday, I'm not likely to be booking another. And it's disturbing my Mumsnet ting round the pool!

PlainsOfThePurpleBuffalo · 01/03/2025 15:09

I've just searched for this thread because it's pissing me off as well.

I already struggle with typing, I don't need a massive box jumping into the screen when I'm trying to navigate.

RabbitsRock · 01/03/2025 15:12

Ditto! Chrome on I Phone. Driving me crackers!

Whatsinanamehey · 01/03/2025 15:46

I came on to see if anyone else had posted about this as I am having the same issues. Also android.

ThisIsMyYearToFindMyself · 01/03/2025 16:42

There will be a mumsnet message here on Monday about how they’re very sorry but it isn’t actually mumsnets fault because advertising blah blah. And they’ll ask everyone how they’re accessing mumsnet, as if that will somehow make it better.

8misskitty8 · 01/03/2025 17:12

this is pissing me off as well. Doesn’t matter how many times I minimise it, it keeps coming back.
MN sort this out !

Also iPhone user.

MrsDrDear · 01/03/2025 18:02

Me too. Absolute pain in the arse, site is not worth the effort.

Desperatelydoomscrolling · 01/03/2025 18:06

Lol, I was just about to post a bit of a sulk about this before I gave up for the day but everyone beat me to it. In short, it's crap, please make it stop. I'll try again another day but for now it's just not worth the hassle.

EmpressaurusKitty · 01/03/2025 18:36

I’ve been getting it on Chrome with my iPhone 13 mini too. Really irritating and mainly makes me want to tell jet2 to fuck off so it’s pretty counterproductive.

I would guess that almost all the clicks it gets will be accidental ones from people who were trying to close it.

Are mumsnet going to comment?

Iwishiwasapolarbear · 01/03/2025 19:17

It is driving me mad too. Don’t mind an ad but not one that makes the site completely unusable

JemimaFlubberCluck · 01/03/2025 19:30

Absolutely infuriating. I’ve no objection to ads but this is making the site unusable. If it’s not fixed soon I’ll be deleting my account.

therewasafishinthepercolator · 01/03/2025 19:36

Same problem. Needs resolved as site not usable.
