There's another flashing one now too. I've just had this one and the fake Facebook as one after the other. The red circle over the 'heart' is flashing in this one.
They're very annoying

Sorry folks

Our ads team have raised this as an issue with Google Ads now because we (obviously) aren't having a lot of luck with stopping them at our end. Hopefully we'll be able to get a comprehensive solution soon

It's back.

DollyTwat · 31/01/2015 11:15

Ha ha!
There were loads of settings for ads I had no idea about
On my google account

CaptainJamesTKirk · 31/01/2015 07:02

Don't be fooled Dolly - IT WILL BE BACK! It's a persistent little advert!

DollyTwat · 30/01/2015 20:52

Mines stopped
You have to go into your browser settings
If you can get to click on an ad with a x in the corner you can get to a page of ad settings you can change

@charlie0123

How hard can this be? Please get rid of it MNHQ

So sorry folks.

It is actually quite hard! They come in from multiple sources, and as soon as we block 20 of them another 20 seem to pop up. We will flag it to our ads team again.

Thanks

MNHQ

Back on today that little red envelope flashing away.

Active conversations, iphone, mobile site.

Do you want us to keep updating this thread please mnhq? Or are you busy enough sorting the issue to check all threads like this?

I'm on an iPhone using Chrome
There's a tiny X in the corner and if you click it, you can say don't show this ad
Seems to be Google advertising
No idea how to switch it off completely

Germgirl · 30/01/2015 08:57

Still there today

Sigh... I'm missing the flashing red envelope though because it flashed while a screen captured.
