Mumsnet ads stopping music

[ChocHotolate]

I often like to listen to music as I scroll Mumsnet. However anytime any ad appears in the text, the music is immediately shut off and does not restart. This is even if the ad has no sound.
Can this be fixed pls?

Ha! The same happens when I’m listening to the radio on my phone whilst scrolling here. It’s deeply annoying - by the time I’ve clicked the radio on again half a dozen times I’m about ten minutes behind what’s actually being broadcast.

Hello @ChocHotolate that doesn't sound right - we're going to look into this now. Could you let us know what ad it was?

In the mean time, you could try turning off autoplay in your browser settings and see if that is a temporary fix.

• On iPhone/iPad (Safari): Settings → Safari → Auto-Play → Never Auto-Play, or use the “aA” menu in the address bar and change it under Website Settings
• On Android (Chrome): Settings → Site settings → Media (wording can vary slightly by device)
