MNHQ, you know why.

I find I’m spending only about 10% of the time actually reading a thread. The rest is clicking fucking x’s to close down ads, trying to stop the glaring, moving ads at the top, scrolling past mid-thread ads that go on for ages, or scrolling past ‘promoted by’ bollocks that have absolutely nothing to do with the topic that you’re in.

This site is now like Reach media.

Such a shame.

Just adding my voice to say that something seriously needs to be done, if you don’t want to see a mass exodus. There is a lot of goodwill here (I’ve been around for decades, I’m sure you can check). But fuck me, if you don’t tone down the ad invasion, me & many many others will be off.

Still, I’m sure the shareholders are happy, eh.

Hello and thanks for taking the time to post. We are very aware that this has been incredibly frustrating for lots of users, and it’s absolutely not the experience we want anyone to have on Mumsnet.

We’ve been working closely with our ad tech partners to pin down the cause of the intrusive ad issues, and we’ve now blocked the ad units we believe were responsible. Some browsers can hang on to old ad data, which means a few users may still see the problem until their cache updates.

If you can, please clear your browser cache so you’re seeing the latest version of the site. On Chrome, that’s:
Settings → Privacy and Security → Clear browsing data → Cached images and files → Clear data, then restart Chrome and reload Mumsnet.

We know it’s more annoyance, but it really does help us confirm the fix is working. We’re genuinely sorry for how bad this experience has been and we’re taking this seriously. Thanks for sticking with us while we get it sorted.

Hi all - we've just released a change to the site which we're hoping is going to help with the freezing and crashing issue. It would be great to know if this is now happening less for you.
