Pages jumping to animated ad at the bottom

What's happening?

Every page I load, or go back to, I'm directed not to the top of the page, nor where I was before, but to a smurf playing football, or, just now, an animated mobile phone.

I could be thankful that at least the pages are loading not hanging, but this renders them just as unreadable.

iPhone SE, Safari, mobile site.

Yes I keep being taken to the bottom of the page where the skirt is and it's very annoying when I want to be at the top Angry

I've given up on using the mobile site for the moment because of this. Hope you can fix it soon.

So the Smurf is meant to be there? it looks like the lower half of the page hasn't loaded because of the white space gap or my adblocker has blocked the text that tells me what it is

It's not a good look for you MNHQ (the Smurf) IMO (not that my opinion is worth much!)

I'm having the same problem with the angry looking smurf. He can feck right off!

It's not just the smurf; I'll let him off! It's every page - jumps straight to the bottom to the big square ad.

Sometimes when I'm hfway through reading the page too.

If I'm quick, I can stop it, by holding my finger on the top post before it slides down. If I do that all the time the page is loading, it usually behaves. But obviously that doesn't help if my finger ends up accidentally clicking on a link to another page (or ad).

Hi silence,

Thanks so much for this.

We're currently working on fixing a very annoying issue with safari and so we feel that this could be related.

Not the smurf, though.. The smurf is a competition we're running!

We're hoping to get the issue sorted ASAP.
