Site stuff

Pop up, anyone else?

ThePyjamasOfACat · 19/07/2016 20:59

Was just on the Facebook thread and all of a sudden got diverted away from the page and given the attached pop up. Had to bash the back key (like a demented sea lion) to get back here.

I get these occasionally from other sites (yes ok usually slightly dodgy celeb gossip ones when my curiosity about Taylor Swift and Kanye gets the better of me) but have never had one on MN before.

Is it just me?

I had one which did the your phone is infected scam, redirected to by an advert that was accidentally clicked on whilst trying to scroll down the page.

Yes, I'm getting a tesco scam one occasionally on MN that I have to turn my phone off to get rid of it. Very annoying - mobile site on safari, iPhone.

I've had this twice tonight - didn't click any adds but all of a sudden redirected to random sites. I closed the tab before they loaded, but its rather annoying.

To add it didn't happen from clicking on any ads inadvertently. I was reading threads when suddenly it directs to what Pyjamas screenshot.
