Serious! Active. Amazon glitch

[BlameItOnTheMoonlight]

The 'active' button seems to have been hyperlinked with Amazon instead - it takes me to this page

Desktop, IOS, firefox

Is most annoying - has been so all day for me too. Firefox on mac

The link to Amazon is still happening for me this morning. It is the floaty bar when on active convos for all 3 buttons. Seems to be working OK if using from other screens.
I'm on a desktop pc using IE9.

Tis getting really annoying now

Still there for me this morning too and the site is being very slow too.

Me three. It's awful and I couldn't face buying the book after seeing the cover so many times.

I have had that happen to me a few times.

I figured it is enough for the mouse to chose hover accidentally over the ad, to go to that page.

It does not make me want to buy the book. It is just annoying.

"I figured it is enough for the mouse to chose hover accidentally over the ad, to go to that page."

I don't think it's that, Quint, because I'm clicking the bookmark on my browser, which is set to take me to Talk. I can load a fresh instance of Google Chrome, click the bookmark, and despite the hover saying 'www.mumsnet.com/talk', it's the cookery book which loads on Amazon.

LOL - it's happening to me too. Firefox on a Mac - all three of the top bar options link to the Amazon MN book page - but only when in Active conversations. It's the same in Safari too. The hover-over information appears to be correct, shows that it should be calling the page "I'm on" etc but actually selecting the boxes takes you to Amazon.

I've just started getting it. Using Chrome. It happens when the page is minimised in anyway because I'm at work trying not to be too obvious and if I try and click on Active of I'm On from the Active convos page, I get sent to a new tab instead with the Amazon MN book.

I think it's because I'm on the Active page with the massive adverts down the side, so when the page is minimised it's getting confused and thinks I'm clicking on the advert?

nope - nothing to do with minimising the page - mine is full screen on a large monitor

Still all the same as yesterday here too. Clicking on 'Active', I'm on or 'I'm watching' from active convos goes to amazon. It really is very annoying.

Weirdly, I don't get this at home using Firefox - I don't get the Amazon sidebar advert at all! I don't think I have any exciting adblock on here either.

I wanted to report this too (Firefox, Windows 7)

Clicking on "Active" in the viewport bar takes me here

Wonderful, you've sorted it!

Yep, sorted for me too, thanks :)

Phew! That's good to hear.
