Those ask.com banners are really beginning to irritate.

Are they supposed to appear across the middle of a long thread, thus making the entire post behind it illegible?
Cos they are.

It has been happening for awhile but it is on every long thread now. Very annoying.

Grrrr.

(using firefox, if that helps)

Erm, no, they're most definitely not, EssenceOfJack.

Are you able to send us ([email protected]) a screengrab of what you're seeing?

I get that too sometimes......

Well of course I can't find a long thread now...hang on.
emailed you

Thanks EssenceofJack - and weird or what?

Will show your black blobby things to the Techs tomorrow.

Ooh, are they my black blooby things?
Can we call them Jack's black blobs of doom?

Don't see why not.

Unless anyone else wants to stake a claim?

Have sent another email, they are still there!

Email received and answered!

It turns out to be a Google ads problem, rather than a Mumsnet problem.

We're on the case in a Google-hassling kind of way...
