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 have said they’re looking into it, but it’s driving me mad!
Every single time I click on ‘active thread’ or the next page button, I win an iPad....

ShaggyRug · 22/03/2019 15:26

Yes me too. @MNHQ any ideas?

I am getting it every time I try to bookmark a thread.

NameChangeNugget · 22/03/2019 15:50

Very annoying

Bagpuss5 · 22/03/2019 15:52

Yes but BT , I'm on my iPhone

Ah! I thought it was just me. Happened on my iPad this morning. I cleared history, which didn't work, then disabled JavaScript which did the trick.

If it's a MN thing, then hopefully I can re-enable JavaScript when the problem is fixed.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 22/03/2019 16:30

Oh! Is that what that was?

I gave up and turned on the big PC!

WeeMadArthur · 22/03/2019 16:33

Yes, on iPad over and over. Really annoying!

I’m getting the ones saythat is getting. About every 5 mins I think. Very annoying.

MynameisJune · 22/03/2019 16:50

EE for me, but it isn’t just MN it came up when I was on the BBC news site as well.

TeaStory · 22/03/2019 16:54

Thank goodness it's not just me. It's doing my head in.

ShadyLady53 · 22/03/2019 17:11

It’s infuriating. I can’t PM!

SheWoreBlueVelvet · 22/03/2019 17:11

Yep. Glad it’s not just me.

Chloemol · 22/03/2019 17:12

Yes just now as I tried to add this message. Driving me nuts, so much so I am shouting at the iPad and frightening the dog!

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 22/03/2019 17:13

God yes.

Singerleon · 22/03/2019 17:14

Hi there all,

We're really sorry about this. We think we've managed to figure out what's been causing this and have put some blocks in place, which can take a while to take effect. If anyone still continues to have this issue after 6pm this evening, please do let MNHQ know.

Thanks for your patience while we've been investigating this.
