Hi, today I’ve noticed I’m getting ads that are actually appearing in people’s posts as well as top and bottom of page, and at intervals in the thread. Is this right?

The URL for the ad I posted at 23.01 on 23/1/21. Still happening today......

Final URL (I'm not quick enough to get the intermediate one!).

I'm getting this. I didn't copy the urls though. I'll do that if I see one again. You can see the beginnings in the screenshots though — the "studio-tag" one is a redirect I think.

Another one. I'm on android (huawei p30 pro) using chrome.

This thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/coronavirus/4132169-Learner-drivers-Legal-experts-help-required?pg=2

And this is where the ad goes: trendscatchers.co.uk/index.php/en/2020/10/21/he-kept-waking-up-at-4-a-m-so-he-installed-a-night-cam-and-what-he-saw-left-him-shocked/?utm_source=Teads_CatStaring_MT_UK

@Judashascomeintosomemoney

And here’s what happens when I try to get the URL.......

Hello

Can you copy and paste the URL in the top bar?

CrotchBurn · 24/01/2021 07:26

@Judashascomeintosomemoney
Agreed, it happens inside quotes it seems. See attached pic, the ad when clicked goes to this link before directing to Sephora:

cat.fr.eu.criteo.com/delivery/ck.php

And then:
www.sephora.fr/p/naked-3-palette-283156.html?utm_source=crt&utm_medium=rtg&utm_campaign=82796_datafeed_banner

Hi @CrotchBurn and @Judashascomeintosomemoney,

Thanks for letting us know that these ads are cropping up again.

If either of you are able to post a screenshot, that would be very helpful, along with your device and browser information.

If you could also let us know the URLs of any of these ads, that would be a big help. You can get these by turning off wifi and clicking on the ad. This will load the link without taking you to the actual advert.

Many thanks in advance.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 23/01/2021 21:57

Yes me too. They seem to be when a PP has used the Quote function. So Quote will appear, then ad, then PPs post. If I see another example soon I’ll screen shot and come back.....

CrotchBurn · 23/01/2021 21:54

I'm getting loads of these

WeeDangerousSpike · 11/01/2021 19:10

Hi, @LilyMumsnet I'm seeing one now. I'm on android using chrome.

Can anyone affected please come back with URLs of where you're seeing the issue?
Also, devices and browsers are always really handy to know so please to continue posting them.

Hi again @BoneAppleTeaa,

Thanks very much for providing us with these screenshots - we're so sorry these ads are still causing problems and we appreciate your patience.

We've sent over the information to the ad server but they've been unable to recreate the issue so far. We're looking into how this can be resolved - please with us.
