When scrolling I keep getting Amazon opening up, no actual Amazon on the threads to click

Out of nowhere just get a. Amazon page taken over, which I have to close.
There's no ad or link I'm accidentally clicking in sight.
Anyone else. Just the last couple of days.

It's worse today if anything, even when I'm nowhere near the add it pops up, although that add does seem to be super sensitive to scrolling too as I open it without fail no matter how hard I try to avoid it.

Not me having it happen twice while trying to read this thread 😭 last updated the app three days ago .

SparkysMagicPiano · 14/05/2026 10:22

I had to resort to the app this morning as my laptop was just giving 404 errors (presumably a different MN issue?). Amazon must have opened at least 15 times. Sometimes there was an ad, but mostly it was just completely random.

None of the other sites I use seem to require the "client" to keep updating their settings/clearing their cache, fiddling about behind the scenes just to read the site. Maybe MN could save money by getting rid of your tech support and just getting posters to do it instead?

I posted about this the other day. Ads opening up without clicking on them. Really not ok!

danimcannie · 14/05/2026 11:35

Edited

You are an update behind

tho new one still does it for me

Shinyandnew1 · 14/05/2026 13:17

Every ten seconds as I scroll, I seem to end up opening Amazon Haul (whatever that is). I presume it’s because there are just so many adverts-it’s making the site unusable!

ladygindiva · 14/05/2026 13:17

Same here

minerva7 · 14/05/2026 16:12

GeorgeTheFirst · 14/05/2026 16:27

Still happening for me using the Android app

AlohaRose · 14/05/2026 17:58

I thought I was going mad, good to know I’m not alone. Still infuriating though.

amylou8 · 14/05/2026 18:18

Thought it was just me!!
Maybe mumsnet HQ are being paid per click and are off on some exotic holiday on the proceeds 🌴😎

HoldMyWine · 15/05/2026 08:08

Ok so I’m scrolling on the PH/MM thread. There isn’t even an Amazon ad on there and it still opened up. It’s happened 4 times this morning. Im
starting to think it’s deliberate now. Look.

Me too!

HavfrueDenizKisi · 15/05/2026 09:04

Christ this Amazon opening on the app is bloody ridiculous. It’s making the app unusable and I know this has been ‘fixed’ multiple times to no avail.

Unfortunately this is the most popular thread I've ever started.
Go me😕

Every silver lining @Tcateh

Wipeywipey · 15/05/2026 12:05

Same. The joys of having to access by mobile due to the crap Error 404 message on my chromebook

PeasePuddingPottage · 15/05/2026 22:44

Still happening here

tapdancingmum · 15/05/2026 22:54

Still happening to me but it is also the skyscanner advert as well as Amazon. App updated yesterday

ChocHotolate · 15/05/2026 23:14

Happening to me too, using app on iPhone. All up dated etc

Pernicketywishes · Yesterday 05:50

Still happening to me. I’m getting it twice in the some thread sometimes. Plus so many Amazon adverts, literally an advert after rash 3rd or 4th post.

PlattyCat · Yesterday 08:33

Still happening to me as well
