Repeated pop up attempts

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)

Just had another three appear a couple of minutes apart so doesn't appear to be resolved yet.

Hi

Very sorry about these popups, we have been trying to replicate, we have made a couple of changes, please can you let us know if the issue is persisting or even if they’ve disappeared, thanks

Same here, about 7 times in a row just now. Android phone.

Perihelion · 14/08/2018 22:28

Still happening.

TheAmazingShrinkingWoman · 14/08/2018 22:05

Same here, chrome on android. Driving me fucking bananas.

Spoke too soon! It’s back and it alternates with Addison Lee ad when I change pages.

Nicknacky · 14/08/2018 21:27

MNHQ, is there any update?

GraveorExtension · 14/08/2018 21:09

Oh FECK OFF Google Membership Pop-ups Angry

....AND AGAIN half way through typing this.!!!! Hmm

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 14/08/2018 21:08

German ad is gone - now I have the hello one.

ILoveMyDressingGown · 14/08/2018 20:50

That bespoke photo books ad isn't causing any problems, nor the Yorkshire water one; it's the German one with that bloke. As soon as it comes up, a pop-up is blocked. When the ad renews itself, another pop-up is blocked. Only seems to happen with that German VMware ad.

EnormousDormouse · 14/08/2018 20:43

Yu I just 'won' twice in the space of about 2 posts.
Same 'vmware' as at the top of the page.
...it did it to me as I was typing this !!!

Arthuritis · 14/08/2018 20:31

Happened 3 times again earlier this evening.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 14/08/2018 20:30

Aaargh! It just happened again twice, once while I was typing this.

TechnicalSergeantGarp · 14/08/2018 20:27

Happened yesterday and just happened again. Android user here and it's not happening on any other site. It's a serious issue.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 14/08/2018 20:20

Here too!

PennyLaneIsInMyHeart · 14/08/2018 19:31

Still happening to me too. Very annoying!
