Tasteless ads

hi there
I know ads are supposed to be tailored to you....on MN on ipad or iphone, I get ads for "Festival of the Dead". This is happening since I mentioned my late father in a few posts.

can anything be done? it's kind of depressing. Thanks.

I get "Join Boris".

The Tories must be desperate if they're trying to recruit me!

RosaWaiting · 08/08/2019 15:18

Okay I feel a bit better now
I think MNHQ are too busy for this one but it is weird. I can’t see how the timing would be a coincidence and was wondering if it’s happening to posters in the bereaved section, which would be awful.

Bump for you as this is awful!

I mostly get ads for horrific shirts for some reason...

No no no, not too busy, we're here! Can you email details to [email protected] and we will look into these for you.

EstherMumsnet · 08/08/2019 21:39

(I mean obviously we are busy, very busy - and very important! - but not too busy for this, what with it being our job and all Wink).

Thank you
Which details do you need please? I don’t think I know the password for the email I use for MN. Blush

It’s on iPad with Safari browser, my main PC has ad blocker so I wouldn’t know if it was there. I wonder if other posters are seeing it. I just cannot think why I’d get that as an ad.

Hi there @RosaWaiting

Could you please post a screenshot to this thread? We might need more information, but we'll start from there.

AnyaMumsnet · 09/08/2019 15:03

Hi there, HQ again.

Could you please also grab a clickstring for us? You can do this by switching off internet, clicking on the ad, and copy and pasting the URL.

RosaWaiting · 09/08/2019 15:04

Thanks, if it appears again, I will do that.
