I've put a screen shot on my profile.

It keeps popping up every few minutes and it's a pain.

I've visited other sites this morning and it hasn't happened on those.

I've got the same thing, it keeps going to dragon vale on my App Store. I don't want bloody dragon vale that you very much

Confitdecanard · 14/11/2013 11:28

I'm getting the dragon vale thing too - suddenly switches to the App Store when I'm on my phone. Annoying.

GetOrfGetStuffed · 14/11/2013 11:29

Why can't I set up my name to click to my profile?

Waaaah

Tantrums does it happen just on mumsnet?

Btw MNHQ I am on an iPad iOS 7 using chrome.

Yep, just mumsnet.

I am using an Iphone, IOS6 because i do not like IOS7. It looks like a fisher price toy Grin

TantrumsAndBalloons · 14/11/2013 11:32

I can see your profile getorf

GetOrfGetStuffed · 14/11/2013 11:37

Oh yes it's working now, how strange.

I like ios7 because it looks a lot more modern. So NER.

It hasn't happened on my iPad but was constantly happening on my iPhone this morning. I wasn't clicking on anything. Very annoying.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 14/11/2013 11:40

I don't like modern.

I don't like change Grin

CockPissPartridge · 14/11/2013 11:42

This is also happening to me when I open threads. It immediately opens the App Store instead.

Am using the mobile site on an iphone (ios6)

GetOrfGetStuffed · 14/11/2013 11:43

Oh I love change. Change everything!

Mine doesn't open the App Store (thank god because that really would drive me mad) but the pop up is exasperating,

Hello hello

hmmm - am pretty positive this isn't something we've done deliberately!

Are you all on app or mobile site?

GetOrfGetStuffed · 14/11/2013 13:33

Mobile site

OP posts:
TantrumsAndBalloons · 14/11/2013 13:53

Mobile site. I cannot use the app. Ever.

RowanMumsnet · 14/11/2013 14:41

@GetOrfGetStuffed

Mobile site

Arf

OK it's not happening when I look at the mobile site on my iphone - sorry, I know that's unhelpful

I can see there's another thread on this, let me just have a look at that one

RowanMumsnet · 14/11/2013 14:47

OK - it does look as though this might be one of the Google Ad Choices ads doing something it shouldn't. Tech are trying to track it down so that they can disable it.

Thanks for flagging

ColetteTech · 14/11/2013 15:37

Hi everyone, are you still experiencing this? Hmm

GetOrfGetStuffed · 14/11/2013 17:33

No, it hasn't happened since this morning.

OP posts:
Mckayz · 14/11/2013 17:38
