What on earth is this! It’s getting ridiculous now with adverts disrupting the page.

Hello @Tiddlywinks63 can we please check if that's the video player? If so are you able to click on the x?

Morning everyone. We've made a change that we help will solve the problem with those M&S ads. However, we can see some of you are having the same issue with other ads too. Could anyone who's experiencing this please post screenshots of the ads in question, or URLs, and we'll see if we can fix those, too. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who's shared screenshots. We'll look into all those. Just to add, we can see on some of those screenshots that some ads do have the 'x' button top right. Those ads are legitimate and behaving as they should, so can just be closed by clicking on the 'x'. The ones we're still looking into are those that can't be closed at all and don't have the 'x' button.

@MixedFeelingsNoFeelings Could we ask you, if you can recreate this, to click the info and ad choices button on the top right and bottom right of the top image and take a screenshot to post here of what happens next? That might help us work out where these are coming from. Many thanks. Flowers

Morning, everyone. We're in touch with the ad partner that we think is supplying these ads but we need a bit more information to solve the problem.

Next time one of these appears, we'd be really grateful to have a screenshot along with the exact URL of the Mumsnet page you were on when it happened, the date and time of it occurring, the type of browser and device you are using and if you can click on the ad itself afterwards the URL of the ad, too.

If anyone happens to be able to get a video of it happening that would be even more useful but we appreciate that's going to be a bit of an ask.

Many thanks Flowers
