Ads covering whole page.

I've attached a picture.
The advert comes up, covers the whole page and you have to click off the page to remove it.
I've had to go off this page three times to write this.
The adverts like the coop one that cover most of the page are annoying but this advert makes the site unusable.

I've got this too - right now, in fact! I can't even see what I'm typing. I can see 'Scalable' and 'execution lookslike innsction'. It needs removing fast.

TheRealMagic · 13/10/2025 08:04

Yes - experiencing the same and as you say it isn't annoying, it literally makes the site unusable.

LillyPJ · 13/10/2025 08:04

Typos due to whole page being covered by ad. It keeps appearing and makes the site unusable.

ComfortFoodCafe · 13/10/2025 08:04

There was a post the other day about this, offending apps still not been removed it seems! If you have a smart phone download the app, its more usable. The website is no longer fit for purpose.

JurassicPark4Eva · 13/10/2025 08:05

Yup. Have to close the page - no other way to close it as it's oversized and no X option.

Tbh MNHQ, with all the flipping videos ads blocking the screen, this site is becoming a real scam site. It looks as badly rendered and as unworkable the old pop ups from 20 years ago.

Please fix it now! Itsdriving me mad.

11811B · 13/10/2025 08:08

I've had this all morning too. Clearly an ad that is scrolling but can't see what it is and no way to close

Whoah. I've just started getting this. On Android via the Web.

Pudmyboy · 13/10/2025 08:11

Yep I had this, had to uninstall and reinstall Mumsnet, now have the new site which has lost lots of functions. I have complained!

UnicornPug · 13/10/2025 08:13

Me too. Just sent MNHQ a screen recording of the same thing. Site absolutely unusable.

TheSlantedOwl · 13/10/2025 08:14

Me too - whole screen obscured. Please fix mn!

Needtosoundoffandbreathe · 13/10/2025 08:15

This morning I have one which takes up the whole page and seems to scroll through pages. Can't even see what it is for. I've ended up using a blocking browser. It's ridiculous to have adverts that stop any meaningful use of the site. If you want to force everyone to pay you'll just lose input from thousands and diminish any revenue for advertisers. I've bought more things due to member recommendations on threads than from any advertising on the site.Thoroughly hacked off with the banner ads across the top of the page too - wouldn't be so bad if they didn't scroll in a distracting way.

baroqueandblue · 13/10/2025 08:18

Having this problem on every thread I try to read since last night. Posted about it on another thread but the screenshot wouldn't load so I deleted my post. On my android phone's browser.

The world's gone mad!

MalbecMakesMeHappy · 13/10/2025 08:20

Same. Whole page taken up but can't even see what the advert is for. Just giant text. Have to close the page each time. Making the site unusable.

NestEmptying · 13/10/2025 08:22

Came here to report the same thing. Whatever this ad is has made me give up and go to a different site. I can't even see what the ad is for and it covers the whole screen.
They clearly didn't check how it would look on a smart phone!

borntobequiet · 13/10/2025 08:22

This is a recurrent problem. It hasn’t happened to me for a while, I assumed they had fixed it.

CeliaCanth · 13/10/2025 08:33

Same here. Something about execution (?) wins and supply chains. I keep having to close the site and re-open it - it’s unbearable!

Jsowny · 13/10/2025 08:35

Happening to me too, android mobile site.
The ad is like this -

Same issue on Android Chrome

Jsowny · 13/10/2025 08:41

And this ad. It's not just one ad it's happening with
Something is fundamentally wrong

Chersfrozenface · 13/10/2025 08:41

Same here. Android phone, website with ads. I'm not installing the app, too many complaints about it already.

Get a grip, devs.

Jsowny · 13/10/2025 08:42

I've never known a website to be plagued with so many constant issues. Unbelievable

ringsnthings · 13/10/2025 09:37

Getting the same..have had to refresh this page constantly to try and say this!

noctilucentcloud · 13/10/2025 10:03

Me too. Android phone, chrome.

theilltemperedmaggotintheheartofthelaw · 13/10/2025 10:13

Same problem. Android/Chrome. The ad doesn't even work as an ad because its so huge you can only see a snippet of it.
