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?

OMG please make them stop. The site is virtually unusable at the moment.

Yes, this. It's driving me insane. I'd like to ask again why it's taking so long to fix.

Yep, still happening here too.

Also random zooming in & out when I’m trying to reply to threads. Happening on my MacBook too so I’m not accidentally doing it.

Same here I’m on phone using safari. hope it gets sorted soon!

O4FS · 22/03/2019 17:20

Same. Driving me mad now.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 22/03/2019 17:20

Kill it, please.

It's been driving me bonkers this afternoon.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 22/03/2019 17:21

iPhone, safari here.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 22/03/2019 17:21

Yes me too. Also everytime I went to post the screen doubled in size then redirected to the pop up. It’s the shittest ad for Sky ever.

On mine it said sky customer not BT. It must be a scam of some kind.

Hi there all,

We're really sorry about this. We think we've managed to figure out what's been causing this and have put some blocks in place, which can take a while to take effect. If anyone still continues to have this issue after 6pm this evening, please do let MNHQ know.

Thanks for your patience while we've been investigating this.

Thank you, AnyaMN.

Hi all

No updates but we're still working to fix this ASAP. We're so sorry for the inconvenience it's causing.
