"You have a message" with a red flashing envelope. It's giving me a headache - literally. And ids on the top of every third thread I open. I much prefer adverts in the body of the text.

I've got it back now Angry

charlie0123 · 15/12/2014 19:17

aarghhhh get rid of it please.

LineRunner · 15/12/2014 18:43

That's bizarre.

mipmop · 15/12/2014 18:39

I mean, are the tech team unable to shut down ads - even if users provide screenshots- unless tech team catch it themselves while browsing the site on their own device?

mipmop · 15/12/2014 18:36

Amy- are you saying that you agree it's unsuitable, but you can only deal with unsuitable ads if a member of the tech team actually see it?

Cocolate · 15/12/2014 17:34

You need AdBlock!!! (I used to be plagued with this stuff but no more!!! - Sooooo pleased)

Hi folks,

We're still working on getting rid of the ad, but our tech guys have to find it before they can zap it, so it's just a case of waiting for it to pop up again.

Rest assured we haven't forgotten about it!

LineRunner · 15/12/2014 16:52

Bloody hell.

ArthurSHappeyChristmas · 15/12/2014 16:02

Here you go LineRunner

ArthurSHappeyChristmas · 15/12/2014 15:57

deducted redirected

ArthurSHappeyChristmas · 15/12/2014 15:57

Yes LineRunner loads of us kept getting deducted to porn sites. :(

It wasn't MN's finest hour. There'll be a thread about it in site stuff. Someone took a screen capture I seem to remember.

LineRunner · 15/12/2014 15:44

Oh my God. I missed the Mumsnet porn?

Asleeponasunbeam · 15/12/2014 15:41

Linerunner, you missed the porn then! It was a few weeks ago and was bloody awful.

I'm getting this flashing thing too.

ArthurSHappeyChristmas · 15/12/2014 15:39

Still bloody there!
Flashing away and annoying the hell out of me.

CrimboHornedSnowflake · 15/12/2014 15:09

Just had it too, give tech a boot up the arse

NotAnotherPackedLunchBox · 15/12/2014 15:06

It's still appearing.

Can you prod tech again please?

LineRunner · 15/12/2014 14:50

This is bloody ridiculous.

What next? Porn? Either MN can screen the imported content or it can't. I'd like to think obvious scams could be blocked, especially when reported repeatedly.

JamForTea · 15/12/2014 14:42

I've had it as well.

It's the type of thing that makes new visitors assume a website is untrustworthy. I'm surprised it's still being shown.

LineRunner · 15/12/2014 08:46

It's back again.

NotMrsTumble · 14/12/2014 22:34

Yup, still here. Made me click off the thread Sad

SunshineOutdoors · 14/12/2014 21:54

Yes it has been designed to look like you've got a mn pm. Bad advert I'm surprised is on this site.

LineRunner · 14/12/2014 21:46

There should be a health warning.
