It’s happened about 3 times, as I’m scrolling down a thread it suddenly reloads to one of those ad sites you can’t do anything but close the window to get away from

Hello and thanks for the screenshots and screen recordings - they were super helpful. We just want to let you know that we’ve identified the cause and are working on blocking it PDQ.
Best wishes,

When this happens @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet i look in my history and it looks like I’ve been (forced to) visit the site about 30 times. If that make sense. These dodgy sites are listed 30 times in my history every time I’m taken away from MN.

Another one with issues. Redirected to a random website then cannot leave without closing browser. Very annoying.

Just adding my name to the chorus. It’s very irritating and you can’t refresh out of it.

Thanks all, we're still looking into this and we'll have a fix as soon as possible.

Cookies cleared numerous times btw

If I actually manage to finish this post it’ll be a miracle…….
Site unusable today - is anyone fixing this?

WeetabixTowels · 27/07/2023 12:32

How is this not being sorted by MNHQ 24 hours later

bookworm14 · 27/07/2023 12:15

This is happening to me this morning too. The ads look really dodgy - not legitimate companies.

Lonelycrab · 27/07/2023 11:39

Have emailed it to you at the contact us at mumsnet email. My phones going crazy with this right now…

Lonelycrab · 27/07/2023 11:23

Yes I’m getting this @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet Have managed to record my screen as it happened, will try to pm you now.

RunningFromInsanity · 26/07/2023 12:45

Same here, redirecting to a ‘Lex London’ ad

Yes I get this one - or a tax advisory firm called Fly something or other.

LorraineInSpain · 27/07/2023 10:32

Happening to me as well, also with Lex London as the primary site redirected to. Can’t click back to MN, have to close the window.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 27/07/2023 09:22

Man alive, site virtually unusable

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 27/07/2023 09:04

Argh I keep getting hijacked just when I’m reading something interesting

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 27/07/2023 08:18

Me too, happened a bit yesterday, loads this morning

LadyAstor · 27/07/2023 07:42

Me too - www.leexlondon.com is the seed/initial advert and then it goes onto multiple other sites. Its happened ti me twice now, once yesterday and again just a minute ago.

You cant close the advert, you have to close the page. Im on Apple iphone 12 / Safari.
