Annoying pop ups

295 replies

NoWordForFluffy · 22/03/2019 09:24

I keep getting an annoying pop up which can't be closed and takes me away from the page I'm on when I 'close' it. Some dodgy, 'You have won' pop up.

I'm on the mobile site on my iPhone using Safari, iOS 12.1.2.

Can this please be sorted?

Perhaps don’t sell adverts via dodgy third parties then

Sounds like a lot of work for what essentially is your (you being MNHQ) job and you are paid handsomely for.

//\ I was thinking very similar. The above post can be summarized as

MNHQ want users to do the leg work for free.

Isn't finding and sorting problems what you pay your tech team for?

These adverts seemed to have stopped when I’m logged in on my iPad. But they CONSTANTLY come up when on my iPhone 6, not logged in. So so so annoying.

Hi all

We're so sorry about this. Can you possibly provide a screenshot? And perhaps turn data off, click the ad and send us the link? (if wifi and data are off, it will give you the link but won't load the page, so you can exit it without actually visiting).

The BT pop up has taken over again, I had to close it down and start again.

stophavinkidsthen · 10/04/2019 00:34

Its not a MN thing, you need to clear all your cookies and browsing history, basically, start again.

Hi there all, thanks so much for letting us know about this. We are currently investigating, but the following information would be really helpful to help us deal with as quickly as possible.

  1. Device and Platform: iPhone/Android etc and Safari/Chrome/FireFox etc
  2. Redirect Location: URL of page redirect launched FROM
  3. Redirection Destination: URL/Screenshot of the page the redirected TO
  4. Your approximate location: you might want to namechange for this one.

Hi all, thanks for those latest updates on this. We're still working on it and hopefully we'll get somewhere soon.
We do get how frustrating it is, so thank you for your continued patience.
