This one. It's on the mobile site and impossible to close. Please zap it and kill it with fire, as it's stalking me around the site.

iPhone on safari with giffgaff tooConfused

Armbags · 20/11/2016 07:06

On iPhone.
It goes away if you click off the thread. (But appears on another one later).

PrancerForHoney · 20/11/2016 07:10

On this thread right now! Oh the irony.

Just had that one for gel polish remover
Clicking close doesn't make it go away. Made the thread unreadable. I'm on a Samsung phone.

EBearhug · 20/11/2016 07:16

Android here. I had the giffgaff one, but also something in German about Christmas decorations, which I didn't pay much attention to - I'm in Germany just now, so it's picking up location info.

Just had a gel polish pop up blocking the whole page. It wouldn't go even when I pressed X

TheSparrowhawk · 20/11/2016 07:37

Having the same problem. Clicking the x does nothing, it won't close.

DeliveredByKiki · 20/11/2016 07:38

Me too. iPhone abroad if it makes any difference. No more MN for me cos I bloody can't see anything!

Roystonv · 20/11/2016 07:40

MermaidofZennor · 20/11/2016 08:20

Iphone on mobile site too. Lots of different ones appearing. So annoying!

StreetFighter · 20/11/2016 08:42

iPhone here too. Incredibly frustrating, makes the site unusable.

Cadsuane · 20/11/2016 09:25

Samsung S5 neo with the on board browser. I had the gifgaf one today and a Clarks one yesterday.

665TheNeighbourOfTheBeast · 20/11/2016 09:25

Bored now!
The looks like an arse crack part of a sofa (banner ad ) was shit
The wait whilst it loads, even though I don't want to watch it, side animations were dire
The accidentally swipe across it self publicising middle of the thread blue boxes were beyond annoying..
Giant page hiding irremovable ads..last straw..
Firefox, & ad blocker. Bliss....revenue stream decreased by another tiny tiny amount, ? not enough to care about clearly.

Did MN never notice that ad with the cream sofa looks like an arse crack On android?

Rollerbird · 20/11/2016 09:29

Huge apologies, we understand it's beyond frustrating. Tech are working on this, and we will update this thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2783483-Pop-Up once we know more - so please do check this one for updates. Flowers

GoofyIsACow · 20/11/2016 11:19

I had this a lot ysterday on my iphone and the x was so tiny it was impossible to press successfully. Blocked the entire screen.
Haven't had it today yet

YoungGirlGrowingOld · 20/11/2016 11:24
