Page half-obscured by grey area

Hi Mumsnet

A few days ago the pages started to be obscured by a large grey area across the top. It's something of a nuisance. It wasn't like this before.

I use Firefox and tend to have several tabs open at once.

Could you look into it please?

Hi @ReleaseTheDucksOfWar

Seems very odd indeed. Firstly that is an ad slot... but given the nature of that conversation I assume there were no other ads on the page so the adslot should dissapear. Could you send me the URL you were on please?

Also are you using a Desktop or Tablet?

Thanks!

Thanks for all the details!

Have you always had Mumsnet zoomed in at 150%?

Okay, so I can answer on those without ad spaces are usually sensitive conversations where we don't want ads to be present (nor do advertisers!).

Has the big grey box come back? I've checked on multiple screen sizes on firefox and can't replicate this on those threads. Hoping it was some kind of bug?

🕶I can't take any credit, I also assume some tech wizardry!!

Have a lovely day @ReleaseTheDucksOfWar
