Every time I type a post, I move from the message box to check it out and hit an advert which takes over and directs me elsewhere.

I'm too fed up to continue at the moment, but I will try and post this before the clutter gets me.

I don’t think this is Oops. They didn’t say that to me.

GNHQ have commented - it’s a new trial, I doubt that they will listen when I tell them I hate it.

I’ve sent a screenshot to GNHQ.

Oopsadaisy1 Mon 23-Jan-23 16:41:06

The first time today. Right in the middle of a thread so that you can’t skip by them.

Farzanah Mon 23-Jan-23 16:40:53

I think something hacked the site.

I’m on an iPad & I’ve never had these pop-up ad videos until today - now I’m getting one after another. They’re having a field day.

Farzanah Mon 23-Jan-23 16:34:44

Try and send a screen shot to HQ. That’s what they asked me to do, but I couldn’t they were jumping about. Mine have stopped now………hopefully.

I also have these annoying ads on iPad for the first time, unable to clear them either 😡😡😡😡

I did sign out of GN for a bit too, and turned off iPad.

Tried that, seemed good. Even remembered my password.

While not signed in, the ad was for Marie Antoinette on iPlayer. I like episode one but have bailed on the rest.

Once I was re-signed in, it was back to the mug cake. Gosh, I'm hungry.

I reported a post about “the devil” and since GN have deleted the post ads seem to have stopped. 🤞

crazyH Mon 23-Jan-23 15:13:29

I don’t get any ads on my iPad

Cake in a mug ad now showing on NanKate's dieting thread😂

Cake, fostering, dyslexia, choosing a pushchair all featured in the last few minutes😡.
Any others?

grannydarkhair Mon 23-Jan-23 14:59:28

I’ve also got the ads for the first time ever, as usual I’m using an iPad. And yes, they’re extremely annoying.

Nightsky2 Mon 23-Jan-23 14:57:13

First time ever today on my iPad.

I’m also getting the cake in a mug ad, so annoying.Today was the first time it appeared.

Ailidh Mon 23-Jan-23 14:51:16

I keep getting an ad for making a microwave chocolate mug cake. A bit tedious for someone who's just started losing weight. Again.

Aha.
First time ever on my iPad. Nothing on my Samsung phone.
Anyway - fostering? Really? I daresay there'll be more.
How can I read the messages?🤷‍♀️

GrannySomerset Mon 23-Jan-23 14:19:46

Happening on my iPad today for the first time. Will give up on GN if it continues - very annoying to say the least!

Farzanah Mon 23-Jan-23 14:19:37

Has GN been hacked??

Doodledog Mon 23-Jan-23 14:19:09

They are really annoying. I don't get them on my MacBook as they are blocked, but they pop up on my phone. I never look at them - I just close them as they appear - so they can't be working as ads. I don't even know what they are advertising.
