Well probably not, but just swiped back after reading a thread and it popped up. In fact it popped up as I was typing this.

First time I had three windows open, mumsnet and a natural geographic article, second time just mn open.

I'm on iPhone 6s and fully up to date with software.

Oooh I won an iPhone!

Iv had this pop up this morning. iPhone on safari, on an active thread. How annoying, would love to win a new iPhone!

LizzieSiddal · 17/02/2018 07:32

It’s very bad this morning. It’s popped up three times and you can’t cluck to the last page, so I’ve lost the thread I was reading each time.

bulldogmum · 17/02/2018 07:36

I’ve had it twice this morning too!

Smidge001 · 17/02/2018 07:45

I've had it too. iPhone 6 SE.
Really annoying as you can't seem to click out of it and have to close safari.

mamaduckbone · 17/02/2018 07:48

I’ve had it twice too, safari on iPhone.

LizzieSiddal · 17/02/2018 07:52

Just happened again! I’m never going to finish that thread, it’s got 10 pages Grin

Ilovehamabeads · 17/02/2018 07:53

Safari on iPhone7. Popping up on every thread in aibu I try to read.

noitsnotteatimeyet · 17/02/2018 08:01

Hi MNHQ whatever you’ve done to stop this hasn’t worked I’m afraid as I’ve just had it pop up this morning

noitsnotteatimeyet · 17/02/2018 08:03

It just popped up again on this thread ... iPhone 7 on safari

LizzieSiddal · 17/02/2018 08:31

It’s jist happened again.

I discovered if you click the “back” button as soon as the ad appears, you can get rid of it and go back to the MN page you were reading.

AuroraBora · 17/02/2018 09:00

Had it twice this morning in quick succession... reading AIBU. iPhone and using safari.

Omgineedanamechange · 17/02/2018 09:38

Just happened to me too,on an iphone, using safari.

Omgineedanamechange · 17/02/2018 09:41

And again

Oooh I won an iPhone!
Naughtyfrog · 17/02/2018 09:49

Coming up for me too. iPhone safari.

ElBandito · 17/02/2018 09:53

iPad, Safari got the pop up a few minutes ago in AIBU

Saladd0dger · 17/02/2018 10:02

iPhone 6s safari. Think I was reading a thread in step parenting

SistersOfPercy · 17/02/2018 11:03

I'm having a lazy morning and browsing in bed on my phone Blush weirdly I've had it on our local news website this morning but not here.
Baffling.

It’s happening to me again too.

UnimaginativeUsername · 17/02/2018 11:44

Happening to me again too. On the shitting man thread. It popped up after several minutes of reading, not immediately.

Oooh I won an iPhone!
DawnMumsnet · 17/02/2018 12:32

Hey all,

We're really sorry that this pop-up is still, um, popping up.

And also that NONE OF YOU have actually won iPhones. Sad

We've flagged our AdOps team to get them back on the case here. Will hopefully have an update for you soon. Apologies for any inconvenience caused in the meantime.

Klobuchar · 17/02/2018 12:35

Been happening a lot recently. You can’t get back onto the MN page you were on. Highly annoying.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 17/02/2018 14:06

Still happening

mybrainhurtsalot · 17/02/2018 15:50

Haven’t read whole thread but I’ve seen it 3 times on the EU topic recently. I’m on an iPhone SE using safari and after the pop up redirects you to a new page it freezes so you can’t use the back button to get out of the spammy ad. Highly annoying - do hope you can get to the bottom of it quickly.

Makingworkwork · 17/02/2018 18:09

This is still happening and getting really annoying now.
