Keep getting directed to dodgy sites

Hi, three times today I’ve clicked on a thread and it’s opened another window, to a dodgy site. The last one was a “100th person to click wins an iPad” type of thing. I’m on an iPad with iOS 11.2. Any ideas?

Still happening @MNHQ. Update please.

Ohallright · 24/03/2019 18:58

I’m getting Virgin adds. Really not happy - there is no way to close the add, so I keep bombing out.

Maybe if I stop using the site for a week or two, you will sort it out 😡

I’ve been getting the ‘you’re the winner of an iphone’ all weekend it’s driving me nuts Hmm
Only on this site

PhalangeReginaPhalange · 24/03/2019 18:55

I’m losing the plot with this!

Nicknacky · 24/03/2019 18:54

Mumsnet, how about an actual, proper update? Whatever you think you have done to fix it hasn’t worked.

Came into this thread to see what others were experiencing and have had a “congratulations you are a winner” type ad 4 times within 6 pages. Highly annoying and making the site unusable for me.

SingaSong12 · 24/03/2019 18:06

Mines a “virgin media” one. Going to leave MN for the moment.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 24/03/2019 18:06

The site is pretty much unusable again

I am getting the deceptive website warning that others have screen grabbed upthread. Happened again just now.

NoParticularPattern · 24/03/2019 18:01

I’m getting it too. For the first time today, started about 5 minutes ago and it’s on all the threads.

Random18 · 24/03/2019 17:58

Well that’s been successful testing 🤬 site unusable again

Stormyday · 24/03/2019 17:57

I’ve got sky ads again after a day free from them.

Bananasandchocolatecustard · 24/03/2019 17:56

The virgin ads are back again 🤪

itswinetime · 24/03/2019 17:55

French add is back so are the problems! We can all see the link so why do you need run tests? Maybe some communication from @MNHQ would be helpful so we know what is happening and when the site is going to be unusable?

Puffinhead · 24/03/2019 17:51

Me too, just now. Actually on this thread!

Nicknacky · 24/03/2019 17:47

I just got one about 30 seconds ago.

Reggety · 24/03/2019 17:37

I had to go on twitter to moan about this, couldn’t even use the site to complain

LilyMumsnet · 24/03/2019 17:33

Hi all

Sorry about that - they should stop again now. We're just running some tests our end.

Kedgeree · 24/03/2019 17:29

@MNHQ answers and action please.

Kedgeree · 24/03/2019 17:28

Mine's BT as well.

Comefromaway · 24/03/2019 17:27
