Your advertisering supplier is displaying adverts for a company thats purpose is to defraud or gain access to people's accounts.

Why are you not using an ad supplier that vets its advertisers and content?

Sire unusable due to this now. Been intermittent over the last few days but now on every page.

I started getting it yesterday about the same time I started getting ads at the bottom of threads saying I'd won an iPhone and visa.

I'm on an Xperia xz using chrome

And now I've had this pop up.

And the site is nearly unusable because I keep getting a warning pop up.

I keep being unable to go back to the thread list after clicking on threads too.

Samsung and chrome - red warning page for me

Looks like a certificates problem. May or may not be related to the recurring DNS issues recently.

Big problems here. My phone is basically useless, anything I google just takes me to the sort of nonsense that everyone has posted on here. I too had the big red thing pop up while on the Mumsnet app and have had problems ever since!!!
I'm trying to look at stuff for work.....

FreezerBird · 27/05/2019 18:35

Was getting a congratulations thing this morning (not sure if there was a voice as everything's on silent). This afternoon getting the red page repeatedly.

I've had it on other sites though, but after having it on here, say if I go to my local news site it pops up with the competition things.
I have a spam blocker but it's getting through it.

LoafofSellotape · 27/05/2019 18:39

Ffs, WHY does this sort of crap keep happening on MN? It doesn't happen with any other site I use. It's really poor.

I'm now also getting the red pop up when I got to use my Sky News App

What on earth is going on? I have had endless problems with all this for a few weeks now and still clueless. I'll no doubt get the pop up again after i press post Hmm
