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?!?!?

Yeah I get it loads. Only have to scroll lightly past and it opens. It’s everywhere!!!!!

Can anything be done about this @mnhq

4 times in the past 4 threads

is anyone planning to try and sort it by removing the ad?

Still happening to me too

For me it coincided with the desktop version of MN stopping working, meaning I have to use the App, which I dislike intensely.

Infuriating here too!

Happens all the time. Wondering do MN get money every time someone clicks on the advert?
very annoying please sort it out @BeckyAMumsnet

Constantly on the app. It’s off putting.

It is making it very difficult to read threads & engage. Please sort it out!

Hi everyone.

We’ve now released updated versions of both the Android and iOS Mumsnet apps which should fix the problem. If you use the app, please could you check that you’re on the latest version?

To do this, go to the App Store or Google Play Store, search for Mumsnet, and tap Update if the option is showing.

If your app is already up to date but you’re still seeing Amazon open unexpectedly, please let us know on this thread. Thank you.

Still happening to me now.

Hi @Grrrpredictivetex please can we just check whether you've installed the latest app update?

If you click on active and then open the profile menu in the top right hand corner, you should be able to see the version number at the bottom of the menu. The latest is 45.3.6

If you're still using the previous version, please go to the app store, search Mumsnet and click on the update tab.

This update has resolved the issue for many Mumsnetters so please let us know how you get on.

Still happening for me @JoMumsnet and on the most recent update

I’m using that version and they are still opening.

Yes all updated and still happening.

This is mine.

Thanks for confirming that you're using the updated version, @Grrrpredictivetex - we're still looking into this issue but we know how irritating it is. Thanks for bearing with us.

Hi all, just copying over what we've just shared on the other site stuff thread.

Thanks for continuing to flag this. We appreciate it’s frustrating that some of you are still seeing the issue where the Amazon ad opens when scrolling on threads in the app.

We're continuing to investigate this as a priority and we've turned the ad off while we work on the issue, alongside longer-term ways to reduce the chances of this happening again.

Thanks to everyone who’s taken the time to share details with us. it’s really helpful for our investigation, and we appreciate your patience while we work on a fix.
