Kitchen Aid Advert - giant pop up covers the whole screen

40 replies

TinyTear · 15/10/2024 09:07

Basically that - there is a giant kitchen aid advert that just suddenly covers the whole screen.
really disruptive and it's backfiring as I will never want to use them/buy from them...

Chrome browser on a laptop.

Thanks

yes, I have had the same thing happen several times this morning, it covers the whole screen and a certain amount plays before the close button appears

Very annoying

Chrome on desktop

Turtlesea · 15/10/2024 12:54

Just happened to me too. Chrome on desktop.

WomanInTheBoat · 15/10/2024 17:11

Same

JewelleryCat · 15/10/2024 17:44

This has just happened to me now. I’m using a Safari browser

LilyMumsnet · 15/10/2024 21:23

Hi all,

Please could you share some screenshots of the advert, as it appears? If you could also let us know what part of the site you're on when you see it, that would be really helpful.

I feel the same for forced tv adverts - but on a positive note I have an oven, microwave, induction hob, blender and pans from kitchen aid - all fantastic still after 7 years,. And no I don't work for them.

I've had this twice, once a few days ago and once tonight. Using Bing on a laptop. Tonight it came up on the "Words you can't pronounce" thread. I don't know how to send a screenshot.

TinyTear · 21/10/2024 08:18

I haven't had it happen again, but will try and screenshot when it happens

Just had this happen to me, just browsing around the usual threads I frequent. I'll try to screenshot it if it happens again.

FiddleFigs · 21/10/2024 11:10

Just had it pop up again - on Active threads, I think about funny book recommendations for an 8 year old.

Takes up the whole screen and the close X only appears in the top corner after a few seconds.

And literally just after I posted the above, it happened again when I clicked on Active threads.

TinyTear · 21/10/2024 11:35

I had it yesterday using chrome on my iPad.

NotTerfNorCis · 27/10/2024 22:15

Came here to say this! It's quite annoying. I sometimes can't get rid of it and end up going to their site involuntarily.

GurlWithACurl · 28/10/2024 10:18

It has just happened again. Four times and counting this morning!

JoMumsnet · 28/10/2024 10:36

Hi all,

We thought we'd managed to block this ad but it looks like it's still getting through. Sorry for disruption it's causing.

@SilenceInside
@TheDowagerCountessofPembroke
@NotTerfNorCis
@GurlWithACurl

if you could please let us know which device/browsers you're using, and which part of the site you're on when the ad crops up, we'll try to locate and block it.

Thanks in advance.

SilenceInside · 28/10/2024 10:39

@JoMumsnet chrome on a laptop, the thread I was clicking on is in the screenshot, I was probably on active when I clicked on it.

GurlWithACurl · 28/10/2024 10:41

@JoMumsnet Safari on iPad. Thank you for looking into this. On several parts of the site including Site Stuff!

JoMumsnet · 28/10/2024 11:52

Thank you both.

TinyTear · 31/10/2024 15:28

Happened again today - for me was on the thread about the farmer's daughter and the budget

OP posts:
LilyMumsnet · 31/10/2024 15:31

Thanks OP - we've seen it, too. We're trying to find out why it's happening again so that we can get a permanent block in place. Sorry for the inconvenience.

JoMumsnet · 01/11/2024 12:05

Hi all,

These ads should all be blocked by now, but please let us know if they pop up again.

And thanks for bearing with us!

Just got the Kitchen Aid ad on a thread in AIBU.
