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

[Tcateh]

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.

I’m on iOS app and this is happening to me. Today. Various (5+ ish) times it has happened to me already in maybe an hour or less browsing!

Any update? It's nothing to do with clicking in the ad area, it is openening of its own accord, the app is basically unusable rn

First couple of times it happened and I clicked back to mn I thought maybe the ads had changed or disappeared but then it just started happening randomly even when there are no ads at all! So it’s very definitely still a big issue that you have not fixed. It’s really putting me off my morning browse now because it is so annoying! I’ve actually realised that it’s happened a lot more than the 5+ I estimated so far because of the number of times it’s happened randomly during the threads when there aren’t even any ads and I’m either just reading or scrolling so not even clicking anything at all. Out of interest @mnhqhow much business do you do with Amazon? Is this why it’s not being fixed??

I’ve not seen a single Amazon ad this morning. Yet it’s happened when there’s no ads, or I’m just scrolling (again no ads), or just reading. I’m very careful to never click on any ads as I’m scrolling anyway, always made sure when using the app, so I know I’m not clicking on any ads even if they are there. I’m mainly seeing mn ads today anyway, not a single one for Amazon. Just happening randomly to me, like you sometimes more than once in the same thread. Think I’m done for the day now. I thought it was just me till I came across this as I was going down active and to see it hasn’t been fixed even a week on and it’s happening to a lot of people just puts me off now because although I was certain before that I wasn’t somehow clicking ads accidentally (even when there weren’t any!), I’m even more annoyed by it now because I know it’s just going to keep on happening and I just can’t be bothered. I do wonder how much revenue @mnhq are getting from Amazon, tbh…

Yeah, I’m wondering the same myself now, how much business/revenue is @mnhqgetting from Amazon…? 🤔

It's done it for me several times whilst reading this thread!

Exactly.

Still happening for me, so annoying.
I'm using Mumsnet 45.3.5
Android on the app

Still happening!! 6 times now!

Happening for me. iPhone
45.3.5

Happening ALL the time, infuriating. When can we expect the promised "fix" from MN?

Not auto opening for me, but so huge and repetitive that I’m hitting it by accident and being sent to Amazon every second scroll. Infuriating. Please make it smaller!!

Yes me too! So annoying!

@KellyMumsnet @JoMumsnet what’s the update on this ?

we have all updated mn with last update and still does it a week after that update and many of us on iPhones

It’s literally doing it on this post. Drives me crackers. Please sort it out!

Yep. Still opening Amazon when scrolling. Updated version.

Another update to say it's no better today, gonna find another way to entertain myself this morning before I cancel my prime membership so I never have to see that site again 😂

Still doing it

How can this still be going on? It’s doing it on this thread

No idea. It's a bit pathetic isn't it.

And now the app is making my phone hot. I’m guessing because of all the Amazon crap. Come on mumsnet get your finger out please.

@KellyMumsnet?

It went away briefly this morning but is now back with a vengeance. Literally opened Amazon three times in 10 seconds of scrolling.

Absolutely infuriating

Happening here too, so frustrating… every few scrolls on the app, up pops Amazon! As someone said up thread, think this may be a silver lining as I won’t be using the app much longer if it’s not fixed
