Happening on my phone and desktop when I click certain threads.

It’s been happening since last night. Yes I’ve deleted my cache/browsing history.

There are threads in site stuff about it. MNHQ know about it and are trying to sort it out

YouSayPotatoesISayVodka · 22/03/2019 14:40

Yes and it’s pissing me off Hmm

AdvancedAvoider · 22/03/2019 14:48

There's a thread over on site stuff we've posted on. MNHQ are awareand trying to sort it.

BreastSideStory · 22/03/2019 14:49

Yep it’s pissing me off

Copperplate · 22/03/2019 14:51

Yes, but BT in my case, and it comes up everytime I try to post from my iPad.

Foxyloxy1plus1 · 22/03/2019 14:51

All the time!
It’s driving me completely batshit. It just won’t go away. Yes, I’ve cleared everything out too, but there doesn’t seem to be a way of stopping it.

The only way Mumsnet will be able to sort it is to single out which ads have the malicious JavaScript that triggers the browser takeover, and then report it to Google and the advertising partners. Which may or may not get it removed.

You can calm it down for a while by dumping your device's browser cache, but if the ad containing the redirecting code pops up again it'll happen again.

LuxuryWoman2018 · 22/03/2019 14:53

Yep, BT from IPad. Maddening

Pluginwall · 22/03/2019 14:54

Yes BT in my case.

BobIsNotYourUncle · 22/03/2019 14:54

Yes, trying to open this thread!

Alsbals · 22/03/2019 14:55

Yes! So annoying

RLOU30 · 22/03/2019 14:55

Yes !!

ZandathePanda · 22/03/2019 15:00

Yes

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 22/03/2019 15:03

Yes, I am getting it - even on this thread and the thread in Site Stuff about it too. Basically it is making the site unusable.

MNHQ are aware.

MzHz · 22/03/2019 15:04

Me too :(

e1y1 · 22/03/2019 15:11

Yes!!! Been happening all blooming week and it's starting to aggravate me.

It is only Mumsnet this is happening on, have literally 15 web pages open on my iPad at the moment and they're all fine.

The popping up of another screen for the AIBU podcast is getting annoying too. Yes you bloody are being unreasonable to keep throwing it up every 10 mins.

WeepingWillowWeepingWino · 22/03/2019 15:12

Yes, I’ve had it several times today.

ellendegeneres · 22/03/2019 15:15

Yup, I’m on my phone. Fucking irritating keeps happening

Asta19 · 22/03/2019 15:18

Is it down to who your internet provider is? I was getting the same only from Virgin, my internet is with them.

Saythatonemoretime · 22/03/2019 15:21

Driving me mad!

BorsetshireBlew · 22/03/2019 15:22

Yes happening to me and taking me off the thread which I then can't get back to!

ellendegeneres · 22/03/2019 15:22

As soon as I clicked post this came up straight away. Hoping the mods get this fixed ASAP
