to warn you not to use the Mumsnet mobile site on your android device for the time being?

[bibbitybobbityyhat]

You are at risk of porn pop-ups and various other undesirable adverts and I assume the viruses that usually go with.

I started a thread about it in Site Stuff [http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2685989-Livid-porn-on-my-phone-please-help? //here but I know lots of users don't look at the Site Stuff topic.

I did ask HQ to post a warning, but they have not done so, and this has been an ongoing problem for several days.

I've had no porn.

Where is my porn?

All I get is that shitty sleepy baby book.

I think the issue is that this is affecting a very very small subset of mobile site users.

[SortAllTheThings]

I had this and reported to MN. Had an email to say they were on it, but nothing else so far. Just posted on a normal thread and graphic pop up appeared. Even restarting my phone didn't get rid of it.

[bibbitybobbityyhat]

Why do you think that ItsAllGoingToBeFine ?

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

Report it on the site stuff thread, with all of the info requested by tech - will help MNHQ find it.

[DiamondInTheRuff]

There are similar reports from iPhone users now.

On my android tablet I got one of those 'fake' competitions which I could only get off my screen by closing down Chrome completely.

[ToxicLadybird]

Why do we still not have an app? It's been like forever since it all went tits up.

[AGnu]

I've had it on my Android phone & I think also on our kindle fire.

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

Why do you think that ItsAllGoingToBeFine

Because even if you assume that lots of people who are affected aren't reporting, it's still a tiny %age of MN users. Many more people aren't being affected by it, AFAIK the vast majority of people on the mobile site aren't having the issue.

If it is a rogue ad it has obviously only been set to trigger for a very small set of people (this makes it much harder to track down, especially if the conditions for triggering keep changing)

[BawbagBiggins]

Me too Pimmmms...and it was still there when I restarted my phone

[FreedomIsInPeril]

Only if you haven't properly protected your phone. Not really anyone elses fault if you haven't got popup/ad blockers etc on your phone, is it?

[bibbitybobbityyhat]

There are 176 messages on the site stuff thread, mainly from people who have been affected. If you think that is insignificant then I disagree.

[DiamondInTheRuff]

Only on MN can someone start a thread to warn people of a potential problem and not get a single thank you.

Thank you, OP.

[BreakfastAtSquiffanys]

It's been like forever since it all went tits up

Great use of phrase for unexpected porn!

[Floggingmolly]

You'd have to wonder why MMHQ aren't a little more invested in sorting it out??

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

thanks bibbity.

[LoreleiGilmoreIsMyBFF]

I tried Putlocker the other day because I fancied watching 'eighties classic' The Lost Boys. I was so intimidated by the sheer number of busty Russian ladies all over my screen, I gave up & slunk into bed feeling all horrible and insecure.

[BerriesandLeaves]

Thanks for letting us know op. I'm on Android and have swapped over to the desktop site.

[BerriesandLeaves]

Using the desktop site on a mobile is officially rubbish. Hope i get used to it. I wonder what happened about the android app

[SoupDragon]

I prefer it.

How can you possibly know what they are doing unless you work there?

[c3pu]

One of the many reasons I use adblockers!

Yes, an email warning people about it would have been good.
