Well probably not, but just swiped back after reading a thread and it popped up. In fact it popped up as I was typing this.

First time I had three windows open, mumsnet and a natural geographic article, second time just mn open.

I'm on iPhone 6s and fully up to date with software.

Oooh I won an iPhone!

Hey all,

We're really sorry that this pop-up is still, um, popping up.

And also that NONE OF YOU have actually won iPhones. Sad

We've flagged our AdOps team to get them back on the case here. Will hopefully have an update for you soon. Apologies for any inconvenience caused in the meantime.

Happening to me again too. On the shitting man thread. It popped up after several minutes of reading, not immediately.

Oooh I won an iPhone!

I'm having a lazy morning and browsing in bed on my phone Blush weirdly I've had it on our local news website this morning but not here.
Baffling.

And again

Oooh I won an iPhone!
Omgineedanamechange · 17/02/2018 09:38

Just happened to me too,on an iphone, using safari.

AuroraBora · 17/02/2018 09:00

Had it twice this morning in quick succession... reading AIBU. iPhone and using safari.

LizzieSiddal · 17/02/2018 08:31

It’s jist happened again.

I discovered if you click the “back” button as soon as the ad appears, you can get rid of it and go back to the MN page you were reading.

noitsnotteatimeyet · 17/02/2018 08:03

It just popped up again on this thread ... iPhone 7 on safari

noitsnotteatimeyet · 17/02/2018 08:01

Hi MNHQ whatever you’ve done to stop this hasn’t worked I’m afraid as I’ve just had it pop up this morning

Ilovehamabeads · 17/02/2018 07:53

Safari on iPhone7. Popping up on every thread in aibu I try to read.

LizzieSiddal · 17/02/2018 07:52

Just happened again! I’m never going to finish that thread, it’s got 10 pages Grin

mamaduckbone · 17/02/2018 07:48

I’ve had it twice too, safari on iPhone.

Smidge001 · 17/02/2018 07:45

I've had it too. iPhone 6 SE.
Really annoying as you can't seem to click out of it and have to close safari.

bulldogmum · 17/02/2018 07:36

I’ve had it twice this morning too!

LizzieSiddal · 17/02/2018 07:32

It’s very bad this morning. It’s popped up three times and you can’t cluck to the last page, so I’ve lost the thread I was reading each time.

llmb · 17/02/2018 07:18

Iv had this pop up this morning. iPhone on safari, on an active thread. How annoying, would love to win a new iPhone!

[quote SistersOfPercy]@AngieMumsnet you're telling me I'm not getting an iPhone aren't you? 😂[/quote]

Uhoh, OP is onto us, Angie!

Sisters, would you settle for a Brew and a slice of Cake?

We're talking really good tea and lemon drizzle, surely better than a phone?

Hi All,

I think we have found the reason for this happening and stopped it, please do let us know if you still continue to see that iphone spammy popup, that is not approved to run by us.

Thanks

Dizzybintess · 14/02/2018 01:03

I had this at 12 today but didn’t get a screenshot. I was on an iPhone 8 with safari browser
