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 😏

Still getting it.

I'm still getting the Siemens one, full page pop up. I don't even need an arctic snowmobile

Popped up three times in the last ten minutes.

Ridiculously long URL for the invasive Siemens advert. I really struggle to get past it on my phone

https://www.siemens-energy.com/global/en/home/actions.html

And the URL that's a bit more reasonable

Also still getting the Siemens pop up ad - lady in hard hat and orange hi-vis. Fills the screen with 30 second countdown.

Still getting it here. No warning. I’ll video it next time.

All the bloody time

I tried again to remove ad blocker in the hope that this would have been resolved but it's appeared at least 5 times again this morning.

I'm not the most tech savvy person but I really don't understand why it's taking so long to sort?

Hi - completely understand the need for ads but this Siemens one is really intrusive.

@HebeMumsnet four times in as many minutes

https://www.siemens-energy.com/global/en/home/actions.html?stc=dese104018

2 minutes I've been on MN and I've seen this three times.

I've given up.

This is what I see, takes over whole pages.

This doesn't happen on any other website.

Android on Chrome

Any update on this it's still happening frequently and it's been an issue now for several weeks.

That's the one I get. Haven't had it for a couple of days but I have had a busy week so not been on Mumsnet much

Another day, another Siemens advert. @mnhq any updates ?

on my Iphone im getting the Siemens ad also the Diabetes one popping up frequently, so imposiible to look at threads so have resorted to using my desktop
(not just for MN)

Yep it keeps occuring on my feed as well.....grrrr

Adblockers are so worth it
they we’re driving me absolutely INSANE I do pay but for me it’s worth it for a quiet browsing experience.
i was previously putting cards on the screen to hide ads.
Google for reviews if blockers.

Small ads that are still aren’t too bad
jiggly moving ones are odious.

And again, it is still going on. I don't expect pop up ads on Mumsnet. I do recognise you have to have adverts to make the site run but pop ups are really intrusive.

I'm a little disappointed that there had been absolutely no updates on this issue all week. Can you please clarify that you're taking action to fix this advert NHQ??

I reported my own post this morning and got a reply back from MNHQ as follows:

"Hi Ineffable23,

Thanks for flagging this to us. We're so sorry that these ads are causing problems for many of you and we're doing all we can to resolve this issue. We'll be posting on the thread as soon as we have more news.

Best wishes,
Jo
MNHQ"

So it sounds like they're still working on it but haven't got an answer yet.

Thanks @Ineffable23 for the update. It would be nice to see a update on the thread.

Another day another Siemens advert. I will instal an adult blocker which I don't want to do as understand the need for adverts to keep sites running.

I have thought about emailing Siemens as they are spending money getting me to hate them, which doesn't seem like a good use of advertising budgets.

Thanks for letting us know you'd had a response. It really did seem like they were just ignoring the issue.

I definitely recommend using an ad blocker it was driving me to distraction!

It’s still there! I’ve never bought anything from Siemens in the past and I certainly never will do now.
