Me too!

It randomly appears on iPad when clicking on threads I'm on. It's interrupting me to ask if I want my Volvo serviced and I don't have one. Just a vulva

Me too. I did a reset on my iPad, logged back into MN and up popped a whole page with a Volvo ad in the middle of it.

Volvo pop up ads, in a small square, just appear in the middle of the screen on a dark ground. Four times while reading one thread. Very odd, concerning and irritating.

Hallo again,

Could you send over a screenshot? This massively helps our ads team to pin it down.

I am also getting Volvo pop ups on an iPad, I will try and screen shot next time.

I would have thought better of Volvo TBH.

I am also getting the really irritating Car servicing advert. I have done a screen shot and will attempt to attach the image.

Mine looks like that too. It's just popping up bowl, not when I click on anything.

I came on Site Stuff to ask you to stop selling me FUCKING VOLVOS. What a pain in the arse advert. Sorry to see its not just me being plagued by this.

I'm on an iPad.

I'll take a volvo if it will help get rid of the ads for everyone! An XC 90 will be fine. Tack

I'm getting the same thing and it's very insistent. Not something I would expect from such a Volvo.Grin

I don't want a Volvo either.

It just pops up on its own at random times

Not entirely true, BakeOff. Have you ever developed a low petrol level (i.e. perfectly normal but lower than Scandinavian cars like) on a Scandinavian car? They can be positively bossy! Grin

I'm getting it on my iPad too - and I actually HAVE a Volvo!!

Thank God. I thought it was my iPad. I am valiantly and persistently refusing the frequent offer to upgrade to Ios10 and thought a stealth demon had crept in and done it overnight.

Why not go to iOS 10 by the way? Smile

Reassuring to know it is not just me but a pain none the less!

It's getting REALLY annoying now, making it impossible to use the iPad on MN.

Ah - I finally got it. On TIO on the iPad on Firefox.

PS - I confess that I went looking for it. I generally use the app.

Me too - iOS 10 advert seemed to pop up as soon as I clicked on the guest post yesterday but that might have been just a coincidence.
