@HebeMumsnet there wasn't an X, just arrows to follow the ad link

Hi @longtompot. Thanks for letting us know. Can you tell us, were you able to close that ad using the 'x' button or is that why you were refreshing the page?

longtompot · 29/07/2025 23:39

A Virgin Atlantic credit card, I think, ad kept popping up, even after refreshing the page. I couldn't read the opening post without it happening, which was at least 4 times in a row.

Evening, everyone. Could anyone, particularly those seeing Amazon ads, click on those ads and send us the url for the ad itself please? Many thanks.

Advert now appearing every few seconds unless I click through which gets rid of it for a few minutes. Always Amazon.

I have an Amazon ad that keeps sliding over from the right side of the screen, roughly every four minutes or so. Using Chrome on an iPad (all most current software) and it’s been happening when scrolling through Active. Blocks virtually everything and the only way out is either to refresh or click on it and get transported to Amazon.

Ironically have just switched from using Safari because mn kept freezing everything (including any other tabs I had open) about every thirty minutes!

Thanks for all of the screenshots and URLs as they're always a big help. We're on the case with these ads and will be back with an update as soon as we can.

longtompot · 22/07/2025 09:37

Nothing for a while but just had a Butlins one pop up. Second photo is what's left at the end & I have to refresh the page in order to get rid of it

Thanks for all your reports on this issue. We're doing our best to track these ads down as quickly as possible. What really helps is screenshots and links to the pages where you were when the ad appeared. Even better than that would be a url to the ad itself if you're able to click on it. Thank you! Flowers

Yup, I've still got desks. And houses.

MN, please fix this!

TeaAndStrumpets · 20/07/2025 17:32

And now the holiday homes are back.

TeaAndStrumpets · 20/07/2025 17:19

Now I've got the desks!

TeaAndStrumpets · 19/07/2025 14:48

None this afternoon, that is promising.

TeaAndStrumpets · 19/07/2025 09:53

I've got the same for holiday cottages for the last couple of days, Samsung Galaxy. Any fixes yet?

Gumbo · 17/07/2025 11:36

Now the ad appears to show houses... No idea what it's advertising, but I've clicked on nothing for it to appear. It renders MN unusable...

Gumbo · 17/07/2025 08:59

I'm getting this too, only with some sort of collection of desks that it would appear I have to buy in order to be able to view more of the thread I'm trying to read. I have to exit to get rid of it, been like this for a week or more.

Samsung Galaxy, Android.

@LunaTheCat same and it is frustrating. Mine tend to be for a moisturiser, I can't remember which company, but the ad is predominantly pink. Maybe L'Oréal? I have to refresh the page which usually gets rid of it but sometimes it comes back straight away. When it happens again I'll see if I can screenshot it
