Been happening to me all day. I have now won 15 iPhones. Unfortunately, it is stopping me every time I find a particularly interesting thread. Hope it’s sorted soon.

CleverQuacks · 10/08/2019 20:36

It’s been happening to me all afternoon and just happened again.

Allli · 10/08/2019 21:00

Apparently it will keep happening once it starts unless you get shot of it. I just downloaded Malwarebytes free version (big blue curved “M” logo) and hopefully that will do the trick. It’s blocking all the stupid adds I’m not interested in seeing too, brilliant, I have it on my pc should totally have thought of this earlier! Wonder if they will start charging for their services in the future. Is so I’m buying! Ps i don’t have shares in that company or anything, just mentioning in case it helps anyone.

I am sick of the bloody 'winning' spam sites!!!!!

I have 2 ad blockers and bloody Mumsnet spam is doing my head in because it's getting past the filters!!! £200 Aldi card. £100 Lidl card. Piss off! I want to read a page I saved from ages ago and now can't navigate to it for all the shitty spam!!!

Masketti · 10/08/2019 21:10

I'm chosen too. This is shit.

Happening across all the websites I try to access on iPhone 7 not just mumsnet what do I do?

64sNewName · 10/08/2019 21:38

Me too, ugh.

ElloBrian · 10/08/2019 22:14

Never happens on any other site. And I’m running an ad blocker already. Shameful, MN.

Allli · 10/08/2019 22:16

I’ve been using Malwarebytes for about three hours now, all spam pop ups blocked. Seriously consider this if you’re still having problems. It’s been around for ages and it’s free! Why not?!

hazeyjane · 10/08/2019 23:28

On app. Totally lost....is it still happening? I feel like Dorothy in Munchkinland. Not even sure if I am posting this or sending a pm.

hazeyjane · 10/08/2019 23:29

Phew...posted. I have ad blocker and security software on my phone so how the feck is it still happening?

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 10/08/2019 23:52

Me too, iPad safari

BendydickCuminsnatch · 11/08/2019 06:18

Just had this happen again, hoped it would have been sorted overnight 😤 😤

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 11/08/2019 06:22

Yep I’ve just had this too; this is the site glitch I hate the most

endofthelinefinally · 11/08/2019 06:31

Still happening.

AnnaMariaDreams · 11/08/2019 06:39

Happening to me too

growingfrenchlavender · 11/08/2019 06:52

It’s still happening to me too, to the point of making the site unusable on safari on my iPad. I’ve downloaded Firefox hoping that might help.

matahairyy · 11/08/2019 07:01

So @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet what’s the update

WiseUpJanetWeiss · 11/08/2019 07:03

Yes happening to me too. Any updates please?

NoWordForFluffy · 11/08/2019 07:08

It seemed to stop last night but is back now. Not good enough @MNHQ, quite frankly. No other website gets hijacked like this one does on a regular basis.

PancakeAndKeith · 11/08/2019 08:07

Just had it again.
I had an iOS update last night.

Gatoadigrado · 11/08/2019 08:15

Agree completely @NoWordForFluffy.
MN don’t seem to take their responsibilities seriously, their record with user identities and privacy is appalling and the issue with pop ups is a regular occurrence. About time they invested some of their not inconsiderable profits into sorting it out
