I'm getting the red one too. Going to stop using the site for now as I'm worried it's some kind of virus...

I've just had the red spam alert and something different. I'll try to attach a screenshot.

The irony of it popping up whilst I was reading this thread 🤔 I had it whilst I was replying to a pm too.

Yes it's happening to me too.

Me too, I thought it was my google settings.

TheGardenFairy · 27/05/2019 23:21

I have been getting it all night too, only on mumsnet. Is mumsnet not safe to use until its been sorted?

JasperTheFriendlyGhost · 28/05/2019 00:26

i’m getting loads

SneakyGremlins · 28/05/2019 00:28

I'm not getting them when I'm using mobile data, only on my WiFi.

Can someone else test this?

@MNHQ any update?

Me too

Gingernaut · 28/05/2019 00:31

I'm getting this warning. If I press the GO BACK button, I get sent to the page I've just come from and if I do click the link to the site, I end up back on the page I was already on.

The ad I keep getting won't go anywhere when I try to click on it, but when I click on the back button on the browser, it simply keeps me on the page I trying to get away from.

That and the constant "CONGRADULATIONS" is driving me nuts.
