Why is this happening when I open a thread on my iPhone?

36 replies

Caoimhe1922 · 09/04/2015 17:58

Every time I click on a topic, or thread or any link on the Mumsnet site, a new page opens to an Irish rail site, Luas.ie. (I am in Ireland) via another site ad.doubleclick.net
To open the link I want, I have to open a new page. This is only happening on my phone not my laptop.
I have cleared my history but it still happens. It seems to only happen on the Mumsnet site.
I don't know what I have done, it's really annoying when clicking on a thread hoping to find something juicy and interesting to find only the latest travel updates.
Can anyone help me?

I can't help but it's happening me too on Android! Been happening for about an hour and getting very frustrating!

Same on my kindle it's very frustrating

VioletWillow · 09/04/2015 18:42

Yup, same here on my Kindle, what's going on?

ThisIsntFunnyDean · 09/04/2015 19:38

Same on my iPhone and I'm in Ireland too! Well it was - I'm on iPad now and too lazy to move and get phone to check...

It's been happening to me, whenever that particular ad is displayed at the bottom of the page. It's fine when it's a different ad. I'm not in Ireland.

Pomegranatemolasses · 09/04/2015 20:44

I actually came on here to post about this! Aargh - bloody Luas ad. Has been driving me mad all evening!

It's very annoying. Happening on my kindle too.

Pomegranatemolasses · 09/04/2015 21:27

Damn - the site was working perfectly for a while and now bloody luas ad is back. Angry

Moln · 09/04/2015 21:29

Same here. Im now on the android tablet and it's ok

It's happening to me too, driving me nuts!

It was fine late last night but it's back now.

TheEagle · 10/04/2015 07:56

Oh and I'm in Ireland too if that makes a difference - but I can't see a LUAS ad anywhere on the mobile site!

LayMeDown · 10/04/2015 08:02

Same here. Have to open in separate window but even then once I want to go to next page it happens again. Incredibly irritating.

mais · 10/04/2015 08:19

Happening here too - on Safari & Chrome on iPhone. Really frustrating.
I'm in Ireland too.

Valsoldknickers · 10/04/2015 08:28

MNHQ, any news? It's still happening.

Really annoying while trying to play the word games :(

catzpyjamas · 10/04/2015 08:28

I'm getting it on Kindle fire. I can't do anything on MN probably can't even post this

catzpyjamas · 10/04/2015 08:30

www.luas.ie/easterextravaganza/
There is a Luas ad at the bottom of the page in mobile view

DebbieFiderer · 10/04/2015 09:36

I'm getting this too, but only on my Kindle Fire, not on my phone (Android). I am not in Ireland but weirdly my Kindle often thinks I am (defaults to google.ie for instance).

TheEagle · 10/04/2015 09:37

Aha I see the ad now! (Or rather I now notice that the bunny is advertising the LUAS!)

It's wrecking my head, I can only use the desktop site which is not acceptable to a 34+ weeks pregnant woman who needs to MN :)

DebbieFiderer · 10/04/2015 09:38

And I do have the Luas ad at the bottom of the page on my Kindle.

FarelyKnuts · 10/04/2015 09:42

It's still happening. It's driving me crazy. Everything I click on it opens that stupid luas page! Angry
