Big orange ad makes things freeze

Twice now, this orange background ad has appeared, at which point nothing I click on does anything, & so I use 'back' to get rid of it.

This ad appears to be in the wrong place, covering Notifications, etc.

Hi @ifIwerenotanandroid , thanks for flagging this and for the screenshots, they're really helpful.
So we can look into it, could you let us know which country you're viewing Mumsnet from?
In the meantime, could you try clearing your browser cache and cookies, then reloading the page? That often sorts out ads rendering in the wrong place or making the page unresponsive.
If it happens again afterwards, please let us know here and we'll dig into it further.

Thanks, I'm in the UK. The ad has appeared again. One time it was only Notifications that didn't respond; the next time that worked too, so I'm not sure what's going on - maybe a combination of things.
