GIANT MN logo!

Every so often I'll click on a thread or topic and get the MN logo filling the whole screen. Refreshing the page makes it all go normal again. Anyone else?

Desktop site, Windows 7, Firefox 47.0.1

Have had this happen twice again today .

ProfYaffle · 27/07/2016 08:03

Had improved but started again this morning.

Rachel0Greep · 26/07/2016 14:21

This started happening on my iPad on Sunday, and yesterday.

BertieBotts · 25/07/2016 09:20

Refreshing the page also fixes it, no need for a new tab.

I've had it, the CSS must be returning a 404 ("I can't find the file") or something is blocking the the file because it thinks it's dodgy. My managers laptop sometimes blocked fonts from googles don't service because it was mistakenly mistrusting the files.

Sometimes security software can block perfectly fine stuff. And I would like to point out that websites aren't built with ad block in mind, unless it's to block ad block, don't complain about how it doesn't look or behave quite right Wink.

Btw I started an new job, as a web developer, recently and it took me about a month to realise the the reason something felt off about the websites I was using was because I hadn't added add block to chrome on my work laptop.

I'm still getting it.

ExtraHotLatteToGo · 25/07/2016 01:31

It's still doing it for me too.

iPad.

HelenaDove · 25/07/2016 01:28

Im still getting it too.

monkeywithacowface · 24/07/2016 23:07

This keeps happening to me too. More weirdly for the briefest moment it pops up with "hello XXXX" (shows my middle name) can't remember putting in my middle name when registering Confused

zen1 · 24/07/2016 22:57

Still happening for me too.

TheDevilMadeMeDoIt · 24/07/2016 19:17

Me too - also laptop not mobile, on Opera.

Last time DP solved mine for me by going on to zoom in the menu - for some reason it had gone on to 500% zoom.

But it still keeps happening.

DawnMumsnet · 23/07/2016 16:19

Still happening for me too! Desktop site, Chrome, Windows 10. Grrr.

Our Tech team are still tinkering away and will hopefully put a fix in soon, but for now the only way round it for me has been to copy the web address for the thread that's playing up over to a new tab - the thread usually opens fine the second time.

It's a pain, but at least I can read the threads and do my job! Grin

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 23/07/2016 14:32

Yup, still getting it. New windows 10, and Chrome. Last week my Avast was saying that MN site was a threat...

Mummylin · 23/07/2016 14:27

Just had giant logo again !

zen1 · 23/07/2016 09:03

Also been getting this in the last couple of days: click on a thread, get the giant logo, click back a page and all is normal, click on the thread again and it's ok. Really weird. On Safari on iPad.

NorbertDentressangle · 23/07/2016 08:55

I'm getting it too - this screen shot was when I was trying to see Active Convos.

I'm also still getting the page jumping down every page I click on and the huge gap before my watched threads or searched for threads which means I have to scroll down past all the boxes on the right before they can be seen.

There really does seem to be a lot of tech issues at the moment

GIANT MN logo!
HelenaDove · 23/07/2016 01:42

Its just happened to me again twice in a matter of seconds while clicking on different threads.

lifesalongsong · 22/07/2016 23:43

First time for the giant logo for me too

laptop/windows 10/firefox

Creatureofthenight · 22/07/2016 23:40

Just got the giant logo for the first time on iPad - hope the porn pop-up isn't next!

P1nkP0ppy · 22/07/2016 21:22

My iPad mini too 😟

Penfold007 · 22/07/2016 21:19

The giant MN logo has been bugging my ipad all week now it's on my laptop!!!! What is going on, are we going to have a summer of this ?

NanTheWiser · 22/07/2016 17:37

I've had the giant logo a couple of times too, on the desktop, and using adblock plus.

BertieBotts · 22/07/2016 09:37

I think the subliminal comment was meant to refer to the giant logo, not the comment about ad companies tracking! Bit unfortunate though Shock

I think that the "adchoices" ads need serious looking at. I can see that they were a good idea when they first started using them because it takes some of the work out of ad management, but they are always the ads that people complain about, they've displayed extremely inappropriate content (porn popups, redirects) and I would be totally unsurprised to realise that that is where all this tracking is coming from too (with the FB, pinterest etc being the social media buttons.) I see them all around the web and often displaying dubious content. I don't think they are a very trustworthy company which surprises me hugely that MN are happy to continue using them when in the past they used to be extremely stringent on ad content. I don't get it? Is it ignorance or do they not care any more?

I wonder why they don't use google ads or similar rather than this company which seem to be a handy backdoor for all kinds of malicious crap.

Mattscap · 22/07/2016 08:14

Me too, no ad blocker.

UterusUterusGhali · 21/07/2016 23:09

I get that too. ^^

I thought my phone was being a dick.
I used to get it on my ancient laptop.
