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 can't use Mnet at all today due to a prostate cancer advert randomly popping up and taking up the whole page. I'm not even clicking when it pops up.

Page goes totally white with chopped off text saying "Prostate canc...."

@PipMumsnet no, I know HOW to do them, I don't know where to send them!

TheAutumnCrow · 13/10/2025 17:05

One word. DuckDuckGo.

Thanks everyone for reporting this and for sending across all the info. We think we’ve identified the culprit and have flagged it with our ad partner, who are treating it as a priority. We're hoping it won’t take too long to get sorted.

We really appreciate your patience as we know how irritating this is and we’re very sorry for the hassle.

Funnily enough, it did it to me while reading your post Becky.

Good luck in getting it sorted.

SunnieShine · 13/10/2025 18:07

I've got this too. Its a complete pain.

SusanSHelit · 13/10/2025 18:12

I'm getting this too, using chrome on a Samsung flip. Makes the site entirely unusable when it pops up

LillyPJ · 13/10/2025 19:17

I thought it was sorted but just as I was reading this thread, it popped up again. Am typing this blind. So annoying!

11811B · 13/10/2025 19:45

Yep still doing it. Samsung chrome in browser.

23fplo3 · 13/10/2025 19:49

I'm having the same issue Samsung chrome and Internet browsers

Cookingupmyfirstbornson · 13/10/2025 19:49

Still happening for me.

Ponderingwindow · 13/10/2025 19:52

I’m not having it today, but it happens pretty regularly for me. Iphone chrome

CaptainMyCaptain · 13/10/2025 20:04

I've got this too. It's making the site unusable. I don't even know what the ad is for it's so big you can't read it.

Wonderknicks · 13/10/2025 20:31

Still happening. Also have no idea what it's for.

Pinkladyapplepie · 13/10/2025 20:41

Yep still happening obviously MN have no urgency in sorting it.😡

StrictlyNumbDancing · 13/10/2025 20:43

Same here. Came up when I clicked on this thread.
IPhone, chrome, not prepared to delete cookies as that’s made zero difference in the gazillion times I’ve tried with MN’s multitude of ad issues.

Pinkladyapplepie · 13/10/2025 20:48

Yep too annoying I'm done!

AllFadestoBlack · 13/10/2025 20:48

Still happening, it pops up at any time, even when writing this post! Please fix MNHQ. I can't use this site as the full page ads mean I can't see anything else!

SoftPillow · 13/10/2025 21:17

This is driving me bonkers. It is however helping me stop being on Mumsnet, which is probably a good thing!! So much time happily wasted

Jsowny · 13/10/2025 21:30

Still happening
It's not possible to upload a screen recording, I've tried

Jsowny · 13/10/2025 21:31

I can't be arsed with MN while it's doing this

Jsowny · 13/10/2025 21:53

Sigh

Still happening for me too.

Mobile version of Chrome.

Helpfully, I can bookmark the post and then refresh the page to be able to see the posts again. Annoying though.
