Annoying pop ups

295 replies

I keep getting an annoying pop up which can't be closed and takes me away from the page I'm on when I 'close' it. Some dodgy, 'You have won' pop up.

I'm on the mobile site on my iPhone using Safari, iOS 12.1.2.

Can this please be sorted?

I've not had them at all. Samsung phone, using Chrome.

Still happening here too. Can’t use the site

I'll report my post so they remove images.

Still getting it here too. I accidentally clicked it as I was trying to close it. Annoying Angry

Seems to be coming from somewhere called ‘Walmart credit card checker’

mazylou · 23/03/2019 06:04

Still happening.

Been happening all morning to me - get redirected to a site giving me the chance to ‘spin to win’ an Aldi voucher

Toobuktim · 23/03/2019 05:52

Been happening quite a few times this morning - iPhone safari here

Forget my thinking an older saved link had somehow escaped the virus (or whatever it is) they’ve appeared there too.
Hmmm gonna give the site a miss for a bit. Really unusable at mo.

festivetootsie · 23/03/2019 05:35

Still popping the same thing happening to me - twice whilst reading this thread to see if there was something I should do to stop it!!

HeronLanyon · 23/03/2019 05:27

Still awful for me. Using iPhone 8 on ee pop up is ‘virgin’ - can’t close it. Pops up when I try to reply to anything.
Then I used an old ‘favourites’ mn link (pre problem) and this seems ok.

Sparklesocks · 23/03/2019 01:02

Still going, the site is almost unusable at the mo!

Oddly this is the only thread I’ve looked at tonight that the BT spam pop up hasn’t appeared.

myhamsteratefreddiestarr · 23/03/2019 00:15

Just had it on my iPad so it’s clearly not fixed yet. Had it last night too.

This pop up offered a free iPad then opened some Vodafone page

When will this be fixed?

MotherofTerriers · 23/03/2019 00:07

It’s happening to me too, all evening. Makes my iPad unusable on this site

Itwouldtakemuchmorethanthis · 23/03/2019 00:06

Me too.

Grrrrrrr

LarryGreysonsDoor · 22/03/2019 23:44

I’ve just realised that I, and many others, have posted on here with our IP addresses on full view.
I wonder if MNHQ could either delete the images or the thread once they have the info they need.

Haworthia · 22/03/2019 23:32

It’s been annoying the hell out of me all day.

The pop up only seems to appear in conjunction with this French advert.

LittleMissFunTimes · 22/03/2019 23:25

Yep I got it too.

What I want to know is what the hell is it, who the hell is it and how’s it happening?

Bayleaf25 · 22/03/2019 23:06

Mumsnet where’s the update!! I don’t want to scroll through several threads to find it?

CrimpMyArse · 22/03/2019 23:04

Unusably bad tonight, but I’ve just installed ad block plus and that’s done the trick.

RumpoleoftheBaileys · 22/03/2019 23:02

This is still happening and driving me mad.

Akire · 22/03/2019 23:00

ME too BT pop up wouldn’t close for ages. How can this happen as spam on such big site?
