Today I have started getting amazon pop up ads. No way of clicking them away and didn't want to click on it to open it. See below

These pop up ads have started for me too. Aaaargh so annoying. There is no way to close them down.

RatInADollhouse · 12/12/2024 17:04

Me too! iPhone running latest version of Safari. I have pop ups blocked in my settings but this one comes through.

Plasmodesmata · 11/12/2024 21:17

I can still scroll the thread under the ad but means my screen is only about 1/3 the normal size, so it's a bit annoying.

FrippEnos · 11/12/2024 16:50

I'm getting the same as ElBandito.
I'm on chrome and a desktop pc.
It happens on random threads.

ElBandito · 11/12/2024 16:46

I'm on iPad with safari and I'm getting this full screen ad. Marginally better than some because I can close it and it does seem to close itself at the end of a count down. But it's still really annoying!

Uncloseable popup on top of irritating long adverts that are already on threads that freeze the screen when you try to scroll. On all threads and menus.
Chrome, android.

Happening to me too on my iPhone! Make it go away! I can’t click on anything.

Plasmodesmata · 11/12/2024 13:04

Me too, on my phone.

Perplexed20 · 11/12/2024 11:49

Om getting it too. It's making the threads unreadable.

Lillygolightly · 11/12/2024 11:44

This is happening to me also, literally pops us on any thread in active I click on. It appears a few seconds after opening the thread and cannot be closed. Such was the frustration I closed mumsnet all together yesterday. Tried again this morning and the same thing happened again.

Iphone 14 running the latest iOS and in Safari

Screenshots added from yesterday..

Sorry should have mentioned - iPhone 16

Datadriven · 11/12/2024 10:04

It’s horrible! I was about to leave the site but thought I’d quickly search for it in case there is a solution.
I can’t get rid of the Amazon one so I tried reading with half a screen but can’t stick it anymore.
Other pop ups are appearing everywhere including on the list of active threads but at least they have an x so can be removed. Pop up again as soon as I scroll down though.

WeirdBarbieKenergy · 11/12/2024 09:57

Yep, happening here too, on chrome Galaxy s23

TheDowagerCountessofPembroke · 11/12/2024 09:47

It’s crazy now. Every page, every 30 seconds.

Thank you for the screen grabs, everyone. If anyone can send us a link or two to the threads they were on when this popped up that would be really useful, too. Thanks!

It’s everywhere, threads I’m on, active, this thread.

TheDowagerCountessofPembroke · 11/12/2024 09:16

And again! Just as I posted.
