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?

Actually this happened to me yesterday on the DM site too. The shame!

Kedgeree · 24/03/2019 17:29

@MNHQ answers and action please.

LilyMumsnet · 24/03/2019 17:33

Hi all

Sorry about that - they should stop again now. We're just running some tests our end.

Reggety · 24/03/2019 17:37

I had to go on twitter to moan about this, couldn’t even use the site to complain

Nicknacky · 24/03/2019 17:47

I just got one about 30 seconds ago.

Puffinhead · 24/03/2019 17:51

Me too, just now. Actually on this thread!

itswinetime · 24/03/2019 17:55

French add is back so are the problems! We can all see the link so why do you need run tests? Maybe some communication from @MNHQ would be helpful so we know what is happening and when the site is going to be unusable?

Bananasandchocolatecustard · 24/03/2019 17:56

The virgin ads are back again 🤪

Stormyday · 24/03/2019 17:57

I’ve got sky ads again after a day free from them.

Random18 · 24/03/2019 17:58

Well that’s been successful testing 🤬 site unusable again

NoParticularPattern · 24/03/2019 18:01

I’m getting it too. For the first time today, started about 5 minutes ago and it’s on all the threads.

Bananasarenottheonlyfruit · 24/03/2019 18:01

I am getting the deceptive website warning that others have screen grabbed upthread. Happened again just now.

Bananasarenottheonlyfruit · 24/03/2019 18:03

The site is pretty much unusable again

SingaSong12 · 24/03/2019 18:06

Mines a “virgin media” one. Going to leave MN for the moment.

babblingbumblingbandofbaboons · 24/03/2019 18:08

Came into this thread to see what others were experiencing and have had a “congratulations you are a winner” type ad 4 times within 6 pages. Highly annoying and making the site unusable for me.

Nicknacky · 24/03/2019 18:54

Mumsnet, how about an actual, proper update? Whatever you think you have done to fix it hasn’t worked.

PhalangeReginaPhalange · 24/03/2019 18:55

I’m losing the plot with this!
