Today I have started getting amazon pop up ads. No way of clicking them away and didn't want to click on it to open it. See below

Hi OP

Please could you confirm your browser and device, and can you let us know if this is happening all over the site or just on certain threads?

EdgeofSeventy · 10/12/2024 16:09

It's an galaxy S21 and I'm using Google, not the app. It's happened on two different threads, here's the second one

Still there. Making it unusable! It pops up after about 30 seconds and the only way to make it go away is reloading the page.

TheDowagerCountessofPembroke · 11/12/2024 09:11

An example.

Thank you for the screen grabs, everyone. If anyone can send us a link or two to the threads they were on when this popped up that would be really useful, too. Thanks!

TheDowagerCountessofPembroke · 11/12/2024 09:16

And again! Just as I posted.

It’s everywhere, threads I’m on, active, this thread.

Thanks @TheDowagerCountessofPembroke . We're taking a look at this right now.

TheDowagerCountessofPembroke · 11/12/2024 09:44

This one was ‘threads I’m on’

TheDowagerCountessofPembroke · 11/12/2024 09:46

TheDowagerCountessofPembroke · 11/12/2024 09:47

It’s crazy now. Every page, every 30 seconds.

Yep, happening here too, on chrome Galaxy s23

Datadriven · 11/12/2024 10:04

It’s horrible! I was about to leave the site but thought I’d quickly search for it in case there is a solution.
I can’t get rid of the Amazon one so I tried reading with half a screen but can’t stick it anymore.
Other pop ups are appearing everywhere including on the list of active threads but at least they have an x so can be removed. Pop up again as soon as I scroll down though.

Datadriven · 11/12/2024 10:04

Sorry should have mentioned - iPhone 16

Datadriven · 11/12/2024 10:06

On this thread too

This is happening to me also, literally pops us on any thread in active I click on. It appears a few seconds after opening the thread and cannot be closed. Such was the frustration I closed mumsnet all together yesterday. Tried again this morning and the same thing happened again.

Iphone 14 running the latest iOS and in Safari

Screenshots added from yesterday..

Om getting it too. It's making the threads unreadable.

Plasmodesmata · 11/12/2024 13:04

Me too, on my phone.

Atishooo · 11/12/2024 13:49

Happening to me too on my iPhone! Make it go away! I can’t click on anything.

Atishooo · 11/12/2024 13:50

Uncloseable popup on top of irritating long adverts that are already on threads that freeze the screen when you try to scroll. On all threads and menus.
Chrome, android.

I'm on iPad with safari and I'm getting this full screen ad. Marginally better than some because I can close it and it does seem to close itself at the end of a count down. But it's still really annoying!
