What's all this flicking stuff at the top of the page and on the side too. Mumsnet insight, flick, flick flick. It makes me feel ill. Has everybody got it? Or have I done something?

Nothing different on mine (iPad) no flicking at all

It's a flicking nuisance, seems to be more evident on my phone.

Yes it is very annoying. It's flashing at the top of my tablet. Anyone with photosensitive epilepsy would be in trouble. Can someone in admin think of another way to advertise.

Really gets on my nerves, all the flicking and flashing on my Ipad, so I maximise the screen. Gransnet text fills the space and horrible adds are pushed off. Result smile

How do I maximise the screen on my iPad Auntieflo? I really can't bear this. I'm covering it up with a bit of card at the mo!

Me too. Horrible flicking adverts all around GN these days.

I've been meaning to start a thread on this. I have had it for over three weeks now and have to keep turning off as it makes me feel ill and it hurts my eyes. There seems to me no way of turning it off. I have resorted to fixing a piece of paper across the top of the screen

Jayanna, I don't know if ' maximise' is the right word, but if you use your fingers to spread the page, the image gets bigger IYSWIM. Please, someone who is a bit more tech savvy than me can explain it better. I know they are out there.

Oh thanks Flo. That was easy! ?

Sadly expanding the text dosen't work on my Android phone.
I can see the ruddy thing

How strange there's nothing on either my iPad or iPhone so must be the devices
