It's frustrating enough having moving, highly distracting adverts appear at the top of the thread, and having to take the time to press the cross.

However, now they are appearing without a cross. I actually cannot read the thread with a flashing image at the top of the page. Maybe this is the kick I need to spend less time on Mumsnet.

Thanks for the screenshot @Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . If anyone else comes across ads that can't be closed could you also send us a screenshot? Or click on the ad and send us the url if possible?

We should also add that not all ads are required to have an ‘X’ to close them. Some types are designed to stay on the screen for a short time, which is allowed under standard advertising rules. But if you have any concerns, just send us a link or screengrab and we'll be happy to take a look.
