Pop-up advert that won’t go away.

[GhastlyOldFossil]

I keep getting Siemens advert pop up randomly, and despite having an x in the corner it doesn’t often work.

I always thought pop ups weren’t quite in the spirit of the site 😏

Agree, I bloody hate that advert. I have pop ups blocked.

Hi @GhastlyOldFossil thanks for letting us know about this pop-up. Can you please let us know where you're seeing that advert? If it keeps cropping up on a specific thread, please let us know the thread title.

We could also do with knowing which device and browser you're using. If you're able to grab the URL of the advert, that would help too! Thanks in advance.

I’m getting this frequently on mobile — Safari — and it causes freezing/lag and is awkward and annoying to get rid of. I’ve been seeing it for several days at least.

eta: iPhone

I’m on a mobile (iPhone in case it’s relevant!) on safari.

It’s not any particular thread, just crops up randomly.

Thanks both - if you see it again, please could you grab the URL for us?

Hi — I just got it here: www.mumsnet.com/talk/style_and_beauty/5150681-perfect-cardiganneed-this

Thanks but we mean the advert URL - sorry!

If you click on the advert, it will load a new tab. Then copy and paste the URL of the page it takes you to and it'll help us locate it.

You want posters to click on a random pop up?

Aha, sorry! I will try next time. I don’t think it’s a risk in this instance @Whinge, it appears to be a legitimate Siemens advertising campaign and iPhones are pretty good at avoiding anything dodgy

Hi all, this has now been blocked. Please can you clear your cookies and cache if you continue to see it? Please let us know if there are any further issues after that.

@Whinge It's something we ask our users to do when we're trying to locate an advert - absolutely fine not to click, that's up to you. We also suggest turning wifi and data off and then clicking, because the URL will load without actually loading you into the website.

Still getting this advert despite saying on a previous thread it's been sorted. I've cleared cookies etc but that's not stopped it appearing.

Hello,

If it's still appearing after clearing cookies, can you get us the link to where the advert takes you? Sounds like it might be using different URLS, so we'll take a look.

I got it just now: https://www.siemens-energy.com/global/en/home/stories/the-north-sea.html

and fwiw, I was on this thread when it happened: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/5153719-lucy-letby-in-the-news?page=3

I've had it again this morning. Didn't grab the url but it's definitely still happening.

I’m getting the same with one for P and O cruises.

It constantly pops back up once closed. In order to get the URL it forces you to click a number of multi choice boxes over several ‘pages’ of the pop up. I presume in order to point you to a specific page. I pressed Nature and then Family and it took me to the Norwegian Cruises.
i’m on an iPad running Safari.

Happened again twice since I posted.

Here's the URL again.

Ok I hate to be a moaning myrtle but I'm now also being harassed by a stupid Cadbury advert as well as the bloody siemans one.

Url of the Cadbury ad - https://www.cadburyicecreamland.com/?pid=391909230

Screenshot added for clarity.

I'm genuinely one more intrusive advert away from enabling ad blocker.

I’m still getting the Siemens advert. Will try to get the URL next time it pops up.

Just now, AIBU mummy bloggers thread.

Thanks @GhastlyOldFossil and others. We're on this now.

I'm getting this pop up constantly.

Chrome on Android

Endless Siemens pop ups for me. It’s a woman wearing a hard hat. I’m using an iPhone and I’m on Safari. Tedious.

Any update on this MNHQ? I'm genuinely fed up of seeing the stupid advert.

The same advert has popped up 3 times this morning in the space of 10 minutes.

Same here. It's the same URL every time it pops up so I'm honestly not sure why it's taking so long to resolve!
