Seriously. The ads in the middle of the threads on mobile are awful. They spoil the flow of the thread. But this. This is a whole manner of fresh hell. Please. Stop it. It’s irritating. And driving me not to post here.

ok thanks all for your responses, we have blocked BA from Mumsnet for now, please keep me posted if this persists and let me know the advertiser in question.
Thanks

@NaiceToMeetYou - was it the BA one?

TigerBreadAddict · 16/10/2017 10:20

Ok thanks all for your comments, I have just made one more change to see if this works.
I know this is frustrating but I am working blindly at the moment as I cannot replicate the issue, so I am having to go through each partner to eliminate.

Please keep me posted, appreciate it.

CaptainHammer · 15/10/2017 10:26

It’s been doing it for me too, a few seconds after clicking on a thread. It’s just happened again.

TowerRingInferno · 15/10/2017 08:47

Should have added I'm using safari on an iPad, and am on the website not the mobile site,

TowerRingInferno · 15/10/2017 08:46

I keep getting a really annoying M&S one that takes up almost all the screen and takes aaaaaaaaages to load.

LewisFan · 15/10/2017 01:16

Yesterday's ad was a few minutes into reading.

Seems to have been ok so far today, touch wood Smile

Hi,

Sorry about this, I have made some changes to our system, can you please give it 15 mins to kick in and let me know if issue is still persisting, also it would be really useful to know if these popups appear immediately as you get onto a thread or a few seconds later?

InfiniteSheldon · 14/10/2017 19:54

I've just had a massive BA advert pop up on my kindle took over the whole screen.

Madhairday · 14/10/2017 19:49

Yes me too with the massive BA and, haven't clicked anywhere near it and it keeps popping up Hmm it's so annoying MN.

On Samsung s7 on chrome

jerrysbellyhangslikejelly · 14/10/2017 17:04

I’m having a massive British airways video popping up on nearly every thread and it keeps opening immediately no matter how many times I close it. I’m on safari on an iPad. It’s so annoying

LewisFan · 14/10/2017 12:14

British Airways in on it too Angry

I'm on Galaxy S7, Chrome browser.... grrr

Fucking huge ad popping up that I didn’t press.
RubyGoat · 14/10/2017 08:46

I've had this a few times too. I definitely didn't click on it, was scrolling down a thread.

So I have been logged out of MN on my phone all afternoon - just logged back in and it's started again.
