Repeated pop up attempts

131 replies

Today, while browsing MN, I have had repeated warnings that the site is attempting to open a pop up window.

I’ve never had this before - what’s changed? Is it legit? I’ve blocked each pop up attempt, so no idea what it is trying to open, or why.

(I’m browsing using an iPad mini, on Safari, iOS 11.2ish)

I’m ok as well, touch wood.

I think I'm okay now. 😆

Ah thanks house

Hi, yes it was after 9am.

Nicknacky on my.screen there are three dots on the top right hand corner, they bring up a list one of which is history. It then gives me the option to clear my history.

How do I clear my browsing history?

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 15/08/2018 10:47

6 times since I cleared my entire browsing history. 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

We only made the change at around 9am, have you had them after this time?

HouseOfSix · 15/08/2018 10:29

I cleared everything (11,900 items in my browsing history Shock) this morning and I've had three pop up attempts since. Using Chrome on an Android device.

Thanks so much! Keep us updated.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 15/08/2018 09:39

Done 😆

For anyone still getting them can you clear your browsing history as this popup may have cached itself into your memory.

Nicknacky · 15/08/2018 09:12

I’m still getting them. More frequently than yesterday.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 15/08/2018 09:04

I'll let you know! I haven't had any pop ups yet this morning.

OK thanks for all the updates, we are working really hard to sort this out, we have just made one more change - has that made any difference?

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 15/08/2018 08:22

I've just checked my Chrome settings, pop ups are apparently blocked, but it's not blocking these. Angry

inso · 15/08/2018 07:48

I've changed my settings in Chrome so hopefully I won't get them anymore...

inso · 15/08/2018 07:45

Still happening. Really annoying!
