Hi there OP,

Thanks for letting us know. Any more information would be useful, like your device, where it's taking you, what page you were on when it happened etc.

I’m on iPhone 8 using safari. It’s happened twice but I don’t remember the threads as they were after I’d been away and was coming back to the site. I reopened the safari app and it was immediately up on the mumsnet page. Will take a screen shot next time.

Pretty much comes up every few weeks for me. Every few minutes today no matter what page I am on (including this one -- had to close it down repeatedly when I went to report it; in the end I had to switch to a different machine even to write this!)

Using iPad and Safari.

I took a screen shot on my other machine, but have been unable to log in there or post. If I can get on long enough without the pop up I will post the screen shot from the other iPad.

Screen shot from a different page. But the pop up hit me on this page too.

Oh yes, safari.

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 03/05/2019 18:01

And I didn’t click on the ‘close’ button. No chance.

TattiePants · 03/05/2019 18:12

I’ve just had it. I’m on an iPhone using safari. Got the same pop up as Soubriquet. I was flicking through AMA, not on an actual thread.

Where am I? In the bath (or is that TMI!) I’m in the NE.
