Has anyone else got this, please?
Where I'm writing now had a video of someone whisking vigorously.

Each time, I have to click on it to close it before I can write.

Oh dear me, what a first world problem, i hear you say... (some of you) but its getting on my wick!

I have the same advert which covers the whole screen and can't be closed. However, this is only on my ipad and not on the laptop.

I have been getting these full page adverts for a couple of days. When I delete the advert I am then out of GN. Almost as soon as I get back in along comes the next advert.
This only happens when reading threads, writing is not affected.

I was having this so I changed over to the desktop version and it's been fine ever since.

I have given up trying to use my mobile today. The adverts cover the posts and won't be closed.

PLEASE sort this out HQ. I'm using my laptop at the moment but would rather use my phone.

I can't see the text on the desktop version.
I have to make the font so big that I can only fit about three words on the screen!

MissAdventure Wed 05-Jun-24 20:50:56

Now have this taking up the WHOLE SCREEN

Yes. I have this annoying advert on my Tablet. It stops me reading posts. Get rid of it Gransnet.

Hi all

Sorry you're having issues with adverts - we're keen to investigate this.

Please can you let us know what device/browser you're using to access the site?

Hi all, please continue to screenshot intrusive adverts as they appear - we have blocked some already and so we're hoping to have this resolved as soon as possible.
