Thanks for letting us know - how are you accessing MN? On tablet or desktop? and which browser? Thanks

CaptainJamesTKirk · 25/01/2015 11:34

Here you go, it's on my iPhone too. It's a persistent little bugger isn't it. Flash flash flash flash flash!!!

Grr -thnks for the screenshot - we will see how we can fix

PaleoRules · 25/01/2015 11:44

I got this yesterday! Took me about 10 minutes to realise I didn't actually have a message waiting for me! Confused

IDontDoIroning · 25/01/2015 11:52

I just had it on my iPhone, this morning it went to be replaced by the opticians which has some moving text so is irritating but isn't quite so bad

NotAnotherPackedLunchBox · 25/01/2015 11:54

It's back this morning - I'm using the mobile site on a Samsung tablet

Aethelfleda · 25/01/2015 11:56

I've just had it (on the web browser on an archaic iphone 3gs)

YonicScrewdriver · 25/01/2015 11:58

I got it earlier too - iPhone 4S, safari.

OhIDoLikeToBeBeside · 25/01/2015 12:09

And me. iPhone 5 Safari

Patilla · 25/01/2015 14:17

Sorry for the delay in responding but, like everyone else I'm on an iPhone. I'm accessing through mobile site not app

I came on to start a thread about this - most of the ads i can cope with but this makes the site unuseable, sorry. Samsung chrome.

Quenelle · 25/01/2015 19:59

Me too. iPhone 5s Safari.

BunnyFint · 25/01/2015 21:53

Me too. iPad Safari.

Quiero · 25/01/2015 21:57

I had it yesterday (safari). Now it's an M&S coat selection after clicking a link in S&B grr. I hate this advertising stalkery that all websites have now. That effing coat is everywhere. I don't even like it!

NotAnotherPackedLunchBox · 26/01/2015 10:47

The flashing wee fecker is back this morning. Sad

Quiero being stalked by an M&S coat has got me thinking.... Perhaps we could start a list of non flashing ads that are in calm colours. Then it would be possible to invest a few minutes googling them so that future MN sessions aren't plagued by flashing and lurid ads that are impossible to ignore. or I could confront my luddite fears and install an ad blocker Grin

Hi all,
We do have Tech looking at it, thanks. Sorry about all this, it does sound punitively annoying.
