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.

Still happening on my iPad. Can’t it be sorted?

SerenDippitty · 23/03/2019 14:56

It seems to have gone now off my iPad, touch wood.

Foottunnel · 23/03/2019 15:00

I’ve been getting it today, from EE.

I always put up with the ads because it’s a free site and that’s one revenue stream, but I’ve just installed an ad blocker because the past 24 hrs has been ridiculous.

Leah012 · 23/03/2019 15:05

Yep BT in my case and I’m using the browser on my phone. Was driving me crazy all morning! Cleared all & it seems to have settled down for now

acciocat · 23/03/2019 18:05

Seems to be ok for now. Worrying how long it takes MNHQ to sort their technical issues though...

Alsohuman · 23/03/2019 18:07

Sssssssh!

It’s back! Can’t send a message as the contact us page doesn’t work - when I send an email it bounces it back, saying it thinks I’m spam!
I’ve had spam redirects several times again.
Mumsnet help!

acciocat · 24/03/2019 17:54

Yes, should have lowered our expectations shouldn’t we...

BobIsNotYourUncle · 24/03/2019 17:55

It’s back! 🙄

MashedSpud · 24/03/2019 17:57

It’s back for me too Sad

BorsetshireBlew · 24/03/2019 17:58

Bollocks it's back

LilyMumsnet · 24/03/2019 17:59

Hi all

So sorry for the stopping and starting of the pop-ups - we're just running some tests our end. Our ads team are on it.

EntirelyAnonymised · 24/03/2019 17:59

Just happened again.,

SweetMarmalade · 24/03/2019 18:11

Yes! Evertytime I press the icon for ‘I’m on’

SweetMarmalade · 24/03/2019 18:12

But I’ve noticed the little pin icon for the ‘I’m on’ option doesn’t look quite the same. Has a little blemish on it?

SweetMarmalade · 24/03/2019 18:13

And I’m on my iPhone, have Sky internet!

AltogetherAndrews · 24/03/2019 18:16

It’s taken me about 10 attempts to get into a thread to post this, they either immediately go to the pop up, or as soon as I try to write a post, the page goes all weird and zooms in and then the pop up arrives. The site is becoming unusable, and I would say it has been getting worse, not better.

CharlyAngelic · 24/03/2019 18:18

Just had it come up on a thread in AIBU “is anyone getting annoying pop ups ? “

WeepingWillowWeepingWino · 24/03/2019 18:18

Just happened again for me too

LittleMissNaice · 24/03/2019 18:19

It's that pink french advert. Just get rid of it!

Kedgeree · 24/03/2019 18:20

The French ads are back again. It's when they appear that the pop ups follow.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 24/03/2019 18:23

Ridiculous now

LaDilettante · 24/03/2019 18:24

Of you're on a iPad, go to settings, safari and clear history and data. It will probably solve the issue on iPhone too but I can't confirm as I have an android phone.

Jojoanna · 24/03/2019 18:24

It's back !!!
