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

Mine stay open after I close them. Displays the "Ad closed. We'll try not to show it again" message but shows the ad and message. No links on the page work I need to reload the page to get rid of the ad.

Android phone, chrome browser.

Just now on that thread with the golf ball Xmas tree decoration.
I went onto tio to find this thread and it bloody came back. For a second, the address bar where it should say mumsnet.com said giffgaff something or other but it didn't stay that way long enough for me to screenshot it copy it.

It's impossible to read threads at the moment, this pop up keeps appearing and disappearing. It's driving me insane

Yes, I'm getting them on my phone (iPhone) but not on my iPad. Actually, I use the desktop site on my iPad, so that could be the difference?

Not ideal, but if you flick back to the previous page, then forward again, it seems to disappear.

Popped back this morning and yep that fucking ad is still popping up!Angry
