Invasive adverts

My screenshots from yesterday and today. Both identical.

Yes, same for me.

Please get rid of it!!!!

Yes my phone is vibrating when it happens as well, as if it's a notification.

I wasn't on chrome

Just sent them an email about this. Three days I've been getting them.

I clicked on chrome this morning and my MN bookmark without going through ad blocker. Tried it twice and both times I get the ad straight away. This is getting worse than better. I've signed out of chrome and have nothing allowed pop up or notification wise.
Taking the piss now.

I had it on my new phopne again this morning but I am not using wifi but it refererred to Virgin.

Me too. On android

I've had it again this morning. Same web address as yesterday and I took these screenshots. I only ever get this on MN and it's usually the first time I log in for that particular day.

[Message from MNHQ: tiny - it looks as though you uploaded the wrong screenshot here so we've taken the pic down to preserve your anonymity!]

Here too, Essex, chrome and Android

I am only getting these when logged in to MN. When it first happened I cleared all cookies and couldn't remember my password to log back in. Went weeks and weeks without it reappearing while I lurked.

Finally got round to logging back in and within a couple of days the pop up reappeared.

The pattern has repeated a few times- able to lurk extensively without a problem- it only appears when I'm logged in.

Anyone else noticed a similar pattern or is it a co-incidence?

Yep me too. Clear data, back on mnet and happening within 5 mins. Chrome and android

Again this morning. Come on MNHQ

Happened again whilst reading this thread. Pop ups blocked, in Edinburgh, using Chrome on Android.

Also on android phone with chrome, have had a few amd thought I'd clicked on something

I think I'm somewhat unusual... this happened to me earlier this evening.
I'm in Manchester, on an iPhone using the app!

• just to say that screenshot was from a previous time not had any in a whlie.

I have pop ups blocked, no exceptions. As others have said it appears to be a notification rather than a pop up which is how it's getting round it I think.

Even I was almost tempted by this ruse when closing the spam down

Interesting... i've just checked out my ad blocker for pop-up ads.

Chrome browser > three dots in the corner > settings > site settings > pop ups

It said "blocked" underneath pop ups, but when I clicked the icon it said pop ups blocked. Then it has a list of exceptions.

Only one website listed under exceptions... mumsnet.

I don't remember ever giving mumsnet exceptions to pop up ads and have now disabled it.

Might be worth checking if others also have mumsnet listed under exceptions.

Hopefully this might have stopped the annoying ads. If I do get another, i'm going to immediately check as to whether mumsnet is re-listed under exceptions.

Just FTR, I had this same redirect earlier when clicking on a link to someone's blog about jokes for kids (DS badgering me to tell him jokes in the bath, I can never remember any!)

First time I've had it anywhere other than MN.

Yes - I think the offending ad is being served up through MN but I guess it's more likely to be offered if you've got personalised ads.

BTW not signed into Crome either when getting the pop ups

It appears to be an exploit in Google AdWords/AdChoices and so logging out of your Google account may help as it's serving up the ad based on browsing history

I deleted all Google and Crome data from my phone, opened MN (not logged in) and got the vibrating pop up as soon as I clicked on a thread.

This problem is definately originating from Mumsnet itself, not browsing history.

It is being caused by MN website, accessed through the android mobile site.

What worries me is that it accurately knows who the Internet service provider is.
