Giant pop up

Ok getting really cross now. There's a giant pop up ad (world at home) which appears on the mobile site covering the whole bloody page. No amount of reporting it as too big/irrelevant works. It comes up frequently and I can't get rid unless I go back. But it means I can't read a particular page of threads. which ruins my MNing
There may even be a thread on this called pop ups. However the giant ad appeared so I couldn't read it to check Hmm

I got that last night. Can't remember what the ad was for but it appeared twice. I'm on android, mobile site.

I did find in you go back to get rid of it, then click back onto the page you wanted it doesn't come again. But still spoils the experience.

I tried going back then click again it would reappear hence my rage GrinAngryBlush

Mine is for giff gaff

Keeps doing it to me too. Random advertisers. Really, really annoying! I can only get out of it by moving off the page, the "X" isn't even visible as the ad is so big!

ShelaghTurner · 19/11/2016 09:38

Me too. Only since yesterday but I can't read most threads. Can't even find the X. It must be there somewhere but I've lost my magnifying glass... Hmm

BeBesideTheSea · 19/11/2016 09:39

I had this last night. It was Bingo or a game or something. I was v tired.

BeingATinselTwatItsABingThing · 19/11/2016 11:03

Yeah, I posted about this yesterday too.

bloodymaria · 19/11/2016 11:04

It's been happening since last night! Very irritating. The only way I can get rid of them is to refresh the page (I know, great hardship).
