Hi MN,

Since yesterday I'm being bombarded by tabs opening up when I'm trying to either read or post threads on MN. I'm not sure if this is down to bots or some random thing that is linked to the ads at the top of the pages and is running in the background.

The ones I'm seeing at the moment relate to Currys PC World. and I had about 20 tabs automatically opening linking to their site.

I can't use MN Talk properly if this keeps happening.

Hi there

Sorry you're having trouble with this. Can we ask you which device you're using please, and also which thread you were on when the pop ups appeared?

Thanks!

Thanks for clarifying! If it's ok on Chrome that's good to know. The ads team are aware of the issue so we'll be looking into this, thank you!

If it happens again if you wouldn't mind updating us on the thread then that would be really helpful.

Have a great weekend Flowers
