Just browsing a thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/2657452-One-twin-invited-to-birthday-party using safari on iPhone 5s. Suddenly a new page autoloads (see photo) with a new address. If you accidentally tap on the page then App Store opens, so far with a Gala Bingo or William Hill app. Make it stop!!

Oo just had that too. Not sure what it would open at, I pressed the 'X' on the popular and was given the option to leave App Store before it opened. Thought I pressed something but was sure I hadn't. iPhone 5s on safari.

It was on the 'gone behind his back to vote' thread.

I think a new, blank, top banner ad loads, the whole thing pauses and then a new web address somehow is put in the address bar

Evening all,

So sorry that these ads are still popping up all over the place. There are a couple of other threads about this very same thing - we've alerted our Ads team and they're doing their best to sort things.

We'll let you know as soon as we've got some news.
