Had this dam advert pop up 4 times over the last 2 days and lost 4 posts because of it. 😡😡😡😡

Does anyone know how to block it? I have emailed GNHQ and Aldi about it.

Oh, for Pete’s sake! I only started getting the wheel of doom last week on my iPhone, have just cleared my cache as advised and am now having to input any passwords I haven’t saved.

And it hasn’t gone! angry

@KellyGransnet what is going on?

NotSpaghetti Mon 10-Jul-23 19:31:09

Sorry meant to add I am using iPhone

I have just had the Aldi advert for the first time, if you inadvertently click on that instead of GN dots you get the message that the site isn’t secure, which is frankly worrisome.

I’m confined to my phone at present and that’s where it pops up. Stopped three posts in a few minutes. GN must be able to stop this.

I haven't seen it for a few days. Sorry others have.

SachaMac Mon 10-Jul-23 18:23:04

I’ve not seen it for a few days now…… hope it’s gone for good.

downtoearth Mon 10-Jul-23 18:16:57

Its back.

Germanshepherdsmum Mon 10-Jul-23 17:44:29

Me too.😡

Siope Mon 10-Jul-23 14:21:42

It’s back for me, after a few days respite.

Grammaretto Fri 07-Jul-23 16:29:24

downtoearth I do hope you are right.

downtoearth Fri 07-Jul-23 16:24:15

Sssh,but has anyone seen it,?
gone for two days now

Mollygo Wed 05-Jul-23 15:09:03

As a solution to losing posts I’m writing, I’m currently writing them in Notes on my iPhone then copy/pasting them in. It got too frustrating!
Hope GN can sort it soon.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 05-Jul-23 14:58:36

It would be good to have an update from them.

Grammaretto Wed 05-Jul-23 14:36:27

Gransnet have gone quiet.
I hope they are working on it because more of us will leave if we find it too frustrating.
I fear your DS is right NotSpaghetti

I contacted my son about this. He is an IT specialist and says it’s linked to Gransnet. He says to just stop using Gransnet. He thinks they have sold some advertising to someone who has maybe a 3rd party contract.

Does Mumsnet have it?
I’m on my iPad now but prefer to use Gransnet on my phone where I can’t get rid of it. I’ve lost lots of posts half way through now. So far no loss today on my iPad but I won’t be using Gransnet so often now.

Please @gransnet get this sorted.

Siope Wed 05-Jul-23 01:11:47

iPhones are affected! It’s driving me bonkers. And I don’t think it’s malware, as it’s only on Gransnet.

Sorry to hear that JenniferEccles
Let's hope someone is working on getting rid of this curse.

JenniferEccles Tue 04-Jul-23 22:24:12

Well I am getting them on my iPhone unfortunately.
