Keep getting directed to dodgy sites

Hi, three times today I’ve clicked on a thread and it’s opened another window, to a dodgy site. The last one was a “100th person to click wins an iPad” type of thing. I’m on an iPad with iOS 11.2. Any ideas?

Mumsnet, you really really need to sort your website out. These things happen too often and between that and the data breach I wonder why I still bother being here.

GurlwiththeCurl · 22/03/2019 20:19

Has been happening to me all day too.

iPad, Safari

Calzone · 22/03/2019 20:20

Just took me 3 attempts to type this without it coming up. Enough to say I’m out for now. Really can’t deal with this!

It’s getting worse , happening every few seconds to me now.

itswinetime · 22/03/2019 20:33

it stops with an add blocker so it must be some dodgy advertising again

Applesandpears23 · 22/03/2019 20:33

Just started getting this when I try to bookmark a thread.

ProfessionalBarren · 22/03/2019 20:34

Mumsnet’s crap tech is the reason I had to get an ad blocker in the end. Adblock Plus. Game changer.

Tunnockswafer · 22/03/2019 20:34

Me too! Mine says it’s from Sky and I’ve won iPhones etc.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 22/03/2019 20:34

Fucks sake!

Waterlemon · 22/03/2019 20:42

So annoying, every 2nd or 3rd time I click for the next page or to read a new post it comes up then redirects me.

Nicknacky · 22/03/2019 20:47

I have Adblock plus on and still getting them.

CloserIAm2Fine · 22/03/2019 20:50

Will you please stop taking revenue from dodgy advertisers who are making your site unusable?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 22/03/2019 20:51

It’s still happening for me too - not quite as often, but often enough to still be annoying!

MachineBee · 22/03/2019 20:54

I’ve just had one pop up.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 22/03/2019 20:57

This is the french ad. I’m not in France. MN is completely unusable now, it’s going to pop up as soon as I post this!
