Anyone else having issues with MN? Every time I click on a topic on AIBU this comes up. Perhaps it's just my tablet? 🤔

Just to add I'm not using a Samsung anything. I'm on an Amazon tablet & using virgin broadband?

Me too and it's driving me nuts.

Likethebattle · 27/05/2019 20:37

Yes i’ve been getting it too.

Beldon · 27/05/2019 20:38

Yes it’s popped up few times for me. Making me stop wanting to use the site as screen freezes for a period of time when it’s on

I've not had this one yet, but the constant voice saying congratulations is very annoying. Hopefully the issues will get resolved very soon or there's not going to be many people on here.

How do you stop it? Just reload the website? It's so irritating & I was worried there was an actual issue but seems to be with the website rather than my device.

It's a google adwords problem, not necessity MN, according to Twitter. It's also happening a lot on the Guardian.

Me too! Also a Virgin internet connection. Has anybody been getting it on sites that are not mumsnet? Dh has been getting it to but he swears he hasn't been browsing mumsnet.

There's a post on site stuff about it. If you google your phone make and 'fraudulent website warning or whatever it it, you should get instructions for how to get rid of it. I've posted instructions iPhone on the site stuff thread which (touch wood) has worked for me

WeCameToDance · 27/05/2019 20:45

Ahh, question answered, thanks Anchor. He says that it started happening while reading The Guardian.

When I was on Digital Spy forum earlier i kept getting a Visa survey to take that i couldn't get out of then yes i got this message. I am on a Samsung phone.
Even turned my phone off and cleared down history but when i loaded up DS i kept getting it...... turned to trusty MN instead 😊

Plump82 · 27/05/2019 22:29

I thought it was just me as ive been given a trial for some security thing from Vodafone.
Its highly irritating!

minionsrule · 27/05/2019 22:30

Spoke too bloody soon..... as soon as i posted that and opened another thread i got that warning Angry

dontlikebeards · 27/05/2019 23:21

JaceLancs · 27/05/2019 23:23

MunchMunch · 27/05/2019 23:37

Made me weary about browsing MN tbh.
