Keep getting advertorials popping up

Hi MN towers.
Ive been reading a long thread on here this morning and every minute or so, when I scroll down, the page suddenly goes to an advertorial site. One was a health and well being site, the other had some ad about doctors and then weight loss ads. I'm not clicking on anything to make this happen and it seems to be getting more frequent.
I'm on my iPad, if that matters.
Anyone else having this problem?
Hope it can be stopped as it's making the site almost unusable!

Hi all,

SO sorry this is happening, we've been blocking like crazy and I think that we might have found the cause of all this.

We'll have to give it a bit of time to sync but if it's happening after 4:45pm then we'll go back to the drawing board.

Thanks for your patience Flowers

MacBook Safari here - but it's not just happening on MN for me but on other sites too. I thought I had some kind of virus on my laptop.

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 09/01/2015 15:58

Me too, iPad on Safari. Super annoying.

Henriettacat · 09/01/2015 15:51

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 09/01/2015 15:20

It is only happening on here for me, as far as I can see.

loveareadingthanks · 09/01/2015 15:17

I'm having it on a normal PC.

WeirdCatLady · 09/01/2015 15:15

Ipad safari here too.

Bloody irritating.

FriedSprout · 09/01/2015 14:46

Heath and well being now

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 09/01/2015 14:36

It didn't help. Back to the Women's Health advertorial - twice.

Tykeisagirl · 09/01/2015 14:35

Me too, but it happened on another site I was on too, so it may not just be a Mumsnet problem.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 09/01/2015 14:35

Just happened again - twice - to a site called 'The Doctors', this time. Angry

I have tried closing the tab and opening a new one, so will see if that helps.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 09/01/2015 14:33

I have just started another thread on this - I hadn't seen this one - sorry.

I am getting this happening - I am on the iPad, using safari.

SoupDragon · 09/01/2015 14:32

I take that back. It was very temporary!

SoupDragon · 09/01/2015 14:31

I seem to have cured it (may be temporarily) by closing the browser tab and opening a new one for MN.

SoupDragon · 09/01/2015 14:24

Me too - I thought I was going mad or clicking something accidentally. Mine have been "health" related.

iPad, Safari. IOS7

FriedSprout · 09/01/2015 14:16

Me to, iPad Safari. Got taken to Laura Ashley site!

Earlier I was getting 'page not found, unknown gateway'

highriggs · 09/01/2015 14:15
