I keep getting redirected to some random site!
Doesn’t happen with every click, but almost everything I click on.

It’s very annoying!

JLbaby · 17/10/2018 10:00

Had the same problem last night and this morning, I was thinking I had a virus. Safari on iphone 7 and ipad.

MotherofTerriers · 17/10/2018 10:00

Still happening here. Every site I try to go to on my iPad now

AtrociousCircumstance · 17/10/2018 10:44

This has started happening when I use MN today - constantly redirected to a dodgy looking webpage saying ‘congratulations you have won £1000 worth of amazon vouchers’.

Awful.

AtrociousCircumstance · 17/10/2018 10:45

And I have an Xs iPhone, operating system 12.0.1

BeautifulPossibilities · 17/10/2018 10:47

Not sure it's the same thing but i constantly get links opening from scrolling past ads, really annoying. I tried emailing HA but got a random message back basically saying it wasn't happening to them. Helpful

Hi All,

Thanks so much for providing all the links, screengrabs etc for this popup ad- we very much appreciate it.
We hope we have identified the issue, so this should no longer be happening.

If you do continue to see anything similar please let us know ASAP, by sending us the URL and screengrab, and if possible, a screenshot that shows all the ads on the page.

Thanks.

AllHallowsQueen · 17/10/2018 11:24

It’s still happening. Same pop ups.

IPromiseIWontBeNaughty · 17/10/2018 11:51

It’s a tad irritating!

Osirus · 17/10/2018 11:53

Still happening too I’m afraid.

Tissunnyupnorth · 17/10/2018 11:57

Safari on iPhone 7. Just happened again. Just a random thread that I clicked on in aibu.

Badgerthebodger · 17/10/2018 12:18

Still happening for me too unfortunately will get the URL next time. I’m using safari on an iPhone

DartmoorDoughnut · 17/10/2018 12:44

Happening about every 3 clicks for me, so annoying! It is opening a new window rather than a pop up

And me. Safari on iPad.

Bluntness100 · 17/10/2018 12:48

I've not had it for an hour or so, but thank goodness for this thread, I thought my iPad had a virus or something. It's been happening since last night and was constant. I cleared cookies, did the update etc. Sigh.

Coffeeandcrochet · 17/10/2018 12:51

Still happening for me - safari on iPhone.

NameChangeYetAgainSOS · 17/10/2018 13:27

Still happening on my iPhone 7 with iOS 12

AngieMumsnet · 17/10/2018 19:16

Hi All,

Can you please let me know if this issue is resolved as we have heard from one of our partners who seem to think they have found the issue, your confirmation would be appreciated.

PurpleDaisies · 17/10/2018 19:18

It hasn’t happened to me today.

DartmoorDoughnut · 17/10/2018 19:21

Hasn’t happened during current browsing (about the last 10 mins)

Knittedfairies · 17/10/2018 19:21

All fine here.

Starface · 17/10/2018 19:22

Fixed here

Whyohsky · 17/10/2018 19:24

Same here, last night and this morning. iPad and iPhone 8. Really annoying.
