To think mnhq have been hacked

[TheoriginalLEM]

Because surely to God they wouldn't have actually allowed that stupid bloody mnhq advertising bot to be posting on sensitive threads at a time like this. No I do not want 5% off my holiday this year, come on now!!!

I keep getting the login thing too.

I'm getting them on the phone app as well as the desktop site.

It's utterly inappropriate! You read a heartfelt OP then you're hit with a holiday offer!

Yeah sure, we're all thinking about going on fucking holiday!

I get the login in too. Its annoying.

I'm on the iPhone app.

I can't see any MNBot posts, nor am I being asked to continually log in but the app does start to glitch when scrolling sometimes.
I have to completely close the app, clear it from the open apps and restart it; it works fine for a little while and then starts glitching again. Really odd.

I’m getting the log in message too.

I'm sure advertising is booked and paid for in advance, the holiday companies would not be wasting their money on new ads right now.

Maybe they are WFH so things aren't working properly. Same thing is happening on Facebook. The bots are doing all the work moderating posts, so the weirdest things are getting deleted.

They probably all working from home or have gone into isolation.

Has to be, I’ve been here a good 15 years and never seen the like! If not then wildly inappropriate & WTAF!!

Nothing for me like that .

Agree. So inappropriate.

I think the companies that paid for advertising will be appalled to see it going ahead. They will want their ads postponed until a more suitable time.

Those ads have disappeared for me, but now I can't start a new thread.

Also, I'm seeing weird glitches on other sites, e.g. Asda tells me I can amend my order up to one hour after the last time it's supposed to be delivered. Is this normal?? I've never placed an order before.

And Boots won't let me add things to my basket & puts up a strange error message about not being able to find a particular order number. I thought maybe I needed to log in first, but when I try it fails because the w/s says I need to prove I'm not a robot - but there's no way to do that!

Any ideas?

adblockplus.org/

Go there, install, never worry about ads again.

I’ve got Adblock, the login bot is still happening, but I haven’t seen the Hoseasons one? Maybe because I’m in Oz.

Hey, it’s stopped! A bit early for MNHQ to be in the job? Anyway, I’m grateful.

Hi all and thanks for the reports.
Apologies for all the upset - please bear with us whilst we look into the ad settings and we'll try to get things sorted asap.

Thankyou.

I can get on no problem with my phone on the desktop mode but if i use my pc which has always been my main way of using MN for years, i have to log in every time. Oh and accept the damm cookies!

They appeared and disappeared throughout the night.
As they're from MN they will get through adblockers.

I'm 65 and have been inundated with cruise offers.

Like, yeah.

They don't get through mine 🤷‍♀️

Ive not seen any either - it sounds like a truly horrible idea even without the current situation!

I think they've stopped now. I've seen none this morning.

angelica good news!
