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.

@MNHQ can you please confirm if it is safe to use MN with these pop ups? My phones been typing for me and zooming in and out as well as pop ups. Can you confirm what is causing this and if we should stop using the site while it persists?

Princessmushroom · 24/03/2019 18:26

And it’s still happening. Why can’t we have a sticky thread about it? We get to see the sticky ads all the time

I’m getting it too. I thought I’d been hacked.

It’s the pink French ad that’s causing it for me too.

I’m getting my internet provider pop ups. When I’m on WiFi it’s giving me sky adverts and when I’m on 4G it’s giving me o2 adverts - it’s quite concerning.

Keener · 24/03/2019 18:49

Back for me, too. Groan.

Balibabe1 · 24/03/2019 18:50

Still happening to me 😡

SauvignonBlanche · 24/03/2019 19:55

Flowersintheatticconversion · 24/03/2019 20:04
