Amazon Haul advert opens every time I so much as look at a thread

[katmarie]

Every time this advert is in a thread it opens the Amazon haul page, whether i want it to or not, (and I do not), even if I just breathe at it, boom, Amazon Haul opens. Its ridiculously sensitive and very very annoying. And it seems to be the only advert I am seeing across allllllll MN threads. Every time I try to scroll past it, it opens Amazon Haul. Every single time. Arggggghhhhh!!!!!

Mumsnet, you have been told about these over sensitive Amazon add repeatedly, why can't they be fixed?!?!?

Yea mine keeps opening up Amazon every 5 seconds. So bloody annoying!

Snap

Same here!!!

Yeah driving me bonkers!

It did this to me once earlier and I was like wtaf is this?!?

Happening to me too. I stopped using Mumsnet on my laptop entirely because of the ads, making me think I may need to give up on the app too

Having same issue on app. As o swipe down always gets the Amazon ad and takes to site and I obv come back to mn

Same here, very frustrating

Same here, so annoying. Like we don't know about Amazon, they're hardly a start up trying to get themselves known FFS.

Hi all,

Sorry to hear that these ads are causing problems for many of you.

We released a new version of the iOS app on Friday that should fix these ad issues, meaning they should only open if you deliberately click on them.
The app should update automatically, but if you're still experiencing problems please go to the App store and click on the Update button.

We're currently testing the new build on Android and aim to get that released as soon as possible.

Do let us know how you get on.

Still does it for me

Please get the android fix out asap, this is bonkers level of frustration. I don't want to see these ads in the first place but will tolerate the scroll. Having to wait for them to open fully so I can close them is the pits.

And im on iPhone and app up to date

And again this morning

Hi everyone. Thanks so much for posting about this issue and sharing the screenshots. We have just released an update for Android that includes fixes for the Amazon and audio issues.

Please check your Google Play store today for an update if you think it hasn't happened automatically.

If you think you’re still seeing either issue on iOS or Android today after updating, please let us know.

Thanks for your patience.

Still does it for me @BeckyAMumsnet. Not all the time but still happens

last update for iOS says 4 days ago - 45.3.5
