So I clicked on a thread I had been commenting on and this appeared across my screen. Couldn't see an X to close it and it didn't disappear. Came off the thread and back on and it's gone again now. Strange. Hmm

Hi, I've been getting Giff Gaff ads since yesterday, just happened again. I'm using Safari on an iPhone.
It does NOT make me want to use Giff Gaff as it's very annoying!

Are you still seeing the issue?

HappenstanceMarmite · 21/11/2016 11:59

IPhone. Giff Gaff mostly.

Mummyshortlegz · 21/11/2016 11:57

IOS 10.1.1 iPhone 6 - safari. No issues now.

AyeAmarok · 21/11/2016 11:55

I'm still getting it occasionally, android, mobile browser, Chrome.

It's mainly the giffgaff one.

Hi

Quick Update, I am online with the Google engineers and we are really trying hard to get to the bottom of this, we are trying out a few things but cannot be certain if it will work, can you please post on this thread if you still see the issue and more importantly if it has stopped.

Thanks so much and sorry!

giffgaff ad annoying me as well.

It seems to be pinned to the start bar, so it doesn't disappear as you scroll up, but stays where it is, blocking text. No close icon that I can see. Refreshing the pages mostly works, bit is a nuisance.

Like the other large, garish, uncloseable pop ups of theirs I've come across before, it's puts me off ever seriously considering buying any product from them. (Same goes for uber).

I got this one but was pleased to see that it had an x on the corner to close it. Sadly clicking the x made the Ad closed by google message come up but didn't actually close the ad... Angry

JinkxMonsoon · 21/11/2016 10:37

Oh look, a different type. Covers the entire left hand side of the screen top to bottom, instead of the entire top half.

Safari on iPhone - continue to have problems - just had same as ifart makes it impossible to read. Had a x in it - click it and respond asking why you want to close it. Tells you it has closed it - while it remains there making the page unreadable. Argh.

RaeSkywalker · 21/11/2016 04:24

So annoying! Using Safari on iPhone.
