Or are you allowing a con site to advertise?

And I attached a screen shot to that last comment which hasn't appeared, I see. Something up with the technical gubbins today?

I had the flashing iPhone ad last night and today I have the latex mattress. I obviously have a dirty mind as well, it made me laugh.

I've had the flashing you have won an iphone/Facebook ad on an awful lot of different pages via my ipad for a long time, but the last couple of weeks I've noticed it a lot more.

Like Blu I've just got the Free iPhone 6 ad whilst checking 'Theads I'm On' whilst using the mobile site.

ByTheWishingWell · 02/10/2015 19:10

It's back for me too.

Pico2 · 02/10/2015 19:06

And again...

captaincake · 02/10/2015 18:46

It's on every page!

Duggee · 02/10/2015 15:50

It's still there!

Blu · 01/10/2015 21:57

And then I got the Error Code 4 screen, and when I refreshed all the icons on the bar at the bottom (the 'active', 'watching ' etc buttons) had been taken over by coloured icons that look as if they are from video games. It can only be got rid of by shutting the window down . I remember this happening ages ago when I once foolishly clicked on the 'win an iPhone' banner.

Aaaargh!

Blu · 01/10/2015 21:33

Ooh, and it's doing it now, at the top of this thread.....

Blu · 01/10/2015 21:32

I am using the mobile site on my iPhone and typically win an iPhone when I go to 'Threads I'm On'. A blue banner, a fake Facebook 'f' and a flashing red thing on the R hand corner. Really bloody irritating , and between that and the Uber ad at the bottom , which takes you away from the Mn page and opens the Uber app at the slightest touch anywhere on the ad when you are scrolling up, it is all very grrrr making !

twirlypoo · 01/10/2015 10:27

Just to say it's still here (and driving me mad!!)

I looked it up and it was 2011! Which doesn't sound so long ago, but then I look at the date now... Grin

Bertie I remember the consultation about McDonalds! Didn't realise that was so long ago.

Can I do anything to my iPhone 5 to stop the ads appearing?
Talk talk is there all the time on mine when using safari on mumsnet.

Snoopadoop · 30/09/2015 21:11

I've won another iPhone! Again!

BertieBotts · 30/09/2015 20:11

But Sand, that is a reasonable assumption, especially if you'd been around years ago when MN regularly used to consult over which brands they allowed to advertise on the site. I realise the site is much bigger now, so it's probably not practical to do that any more, but long gone are the days when people got upset over McDonalds ads! :)

iPhone ad

TheColdDoesBotherMeAnyway · 30/09/2015 19:58

There's also a TalkTalk one that is annoying me with moving graphics if there's a hit list somewhere Wink

TheColdDoesBotherMeAnyway · 30/09/2015 19:48

It's still there. It's intensely irritating, I can't even read the thread because it's flashing away and hurting my eyes. Is there any update on this?
