Site redirecting to an ad

It’s happened about 3 times, as I’m scrolling down a thread it suddenly reloads to one of those ad sites you can’t do anything but close the window to get away from

I’m using the mobile site in an iPhone if that matters

Happening to me too

ThisWormHasTurned · 26/07/2023 08:43

Yes me too. Very annoying. Redirects to a (very dodgy) looking ad and I have to press back multiple times to get out of it and back to MN.

ThisWormHasTurned · 26/07/2023 08:47

If it sounds too good to be true..it probably is!

Yep, I’ve had it 3 times this morning too.

DismantledKing · 26/07/2023 09:05

Me too.

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 26/07/2023 09:09

Thanks for reporting this to us we're investigating now. Could you please let us know if you're clicking on an ad when this happens or whether it's automatically redirecting? Thank you.

DismantledKing · 26/07/2023 09:10

it’s automatically redirecting when scrolling threads

Just scrolling through.

Not clicking on anything, just scrolling through.

It’s happened to me too, on every thread I’ve been on this morning.

Hobnobswantshernameback · 26/07/2023 09:29

oh god yet another IT shitshow
Being redirected to adds when I'm just scrolling is piss poor
logging out until sorted
this sort of stuff happens way too frequently on here

toastofthetown · 26/07/2023 09:31

Happening to me too. Automatically redirecting (with multiple redirects). Mobile site, iPhone on iOS 16.5.1 (c).

Secondwindplease · 26/07/2023 09:49

Happening to me too, on some threads more than others. Also an iPhone user.

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 26/07/2023 09:51

Thanks, everyone. If anyone is able to get a screen recording of this happening, that would be really useful in helping us figure out the cause.

Apologies for the annoyance - we'll do our best to get this sorted ASAP.

RunningFromInsanity · 26/07/2023 12:45

Same here, redirecting to a ‘Lex London’ ad

RunningFromInsanity · 26/07/2023 12:47

@YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet I have a screen recording

TeamsInterview · 26/07/2023 13:23

It's just happened to me on this thread, I wasn't even touching my screen and I can't get rid of the ad without closing the page and opening a new one.

The site is becoming unusable, it's happening on every thread. @mnhq

DismantledKing · 26/07/2023 15:08

Of all the sites I ever use, these IT problems with adverts only ever affect Mumsnet.

Apricotton · 26/07/2023 16:02

Happening to me too. It’s making the site unusable.

WeetabixTowels · 26/07/2023 16:28

Same. Something about tools and winning an iPhone. Lex London? It’s driving me mad

WeetabixTowels · 26/07/2023 16:31

I’ve just been directed to this. It seems dodgy AF @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet
