in wondering why....

They are not adverts. They are links to articles on Mumsnet. Should be replaced by GN links!

When I first joined Gransnet I had the icons in Chinese on my phone for months until I visited the UK and then they changed. When I returned home to Germany they remained the proper ones. The Chinese characters are probably because it's a Chinese (or Korean) make.

I don't get any adverts for nappies or anything like that on my phone, tablet or laptop. Just for things I buy anyway.

Get a decent adblocker, sorted.

Ah yes, the *This may also interest you”. Currently breast pumps, toddler travel systems....and stair lifts.

I have a Mumsnet
This may also interest you
At the bottom of the page.

I would like to say to GN/MN
No It Doesn't
Please remove!

I have an adblocker too. This is not an ad but a part of GN.
On the desktop site it is a shortcuts menu, but on mobile the links are to MN subjects such as pregnancy and buying highchairs....

Mumsnet pregnancy calendar
'Congratulations your pregnant'

Er, impossible actually

On the mobile site. I just get that Corneliani ad, nothing else.

ps I meant to add, it's just so that you can practise your Mandarin

Marmight I understand that Mandarin is being introduced to the curriculum in Australia
and very sensible too

I've got an Adblocker

[smug]

I only access GN on my laptop and have Adblocker installed so do not get any ads.

I m on the mobile site and get NO adverts at the bottom I have one for a shop called Corneliani across the top and a small one at the side for Fragrance direct but that’s all and nothing at all at the bottom

Apart from the Mumsnet pregnancy and baby stuff right at the bottom, I'm getting adverts from a plus size clothing company. I'm only a size 14 honest!

Aubergine - not red

I am getting adds for hearing aids in Flemish but sometimes it is for BMW in French.^[hmm ]

And what's more, probably because I'm in Australia but I don't see why, all the small red icons at the bottom of each thread come up in Chinese for a couple of seconds before reverting to English

I'm being offered marriage records online?!

Well I am fairly sure the majority of us grans will not be getting pregnant and needing baby equipment. The advertisers are probably hoping us the Baby Boomer generation will fork out for their grand kids equipment,

I got one for boob jobs yesterday. How insulting, my boobs being so perky and perfect and all.

Yes, mobile site.

even

Wait until you get the ads for frozen legs of lamb [grn]

X your post, Pitt!
