Is it just me?

It's happening on my phone, I click on a thread and instead of opening it sends me to some dodgy porn site.

It's not every time, but it's happened twice in 24hrs. I'm not tech savy is it my IPhone?

Sorry folks! That must be quite alarming.

Can you give us a bit more info about what happens? Is it the same thread every time, or is it happening on different threads? If you can bear it, could you send us a screenshot to the site you're being redirected to?

We're just going to move this thread to Site Stuff.

Hi

It was on two different threads one last night and one this morning, both in chat. each time it didn't open a new window on my phone it just opened as if it was the thread opening but when it came up it was er rather rude!

The first one was videos with a caption about inserting cucumbers! I shut it straight away so can't remember much else.

This mornings didn't even open as I noticed it was redirecting me again and I shut it as soon as I saw the website was either 'ewank' or 'wanke' or something with a 'wank' and an 'e'.

I'll return if it happens again.

Arf - reading my post back it does rather sound like I was asking for all the gory details Blush

We'll do what kind can to find out what's happening, but if there's any more info (techy info obviously) you can provide, then please let us know.

Is there a risk to this happening to Pc's and laptops as well as phones?

I don't know if it's of any help, but I'm using a PC (Google Chrome) and it's not happened to me at all.

Do you have an anti virus on your phone?

PC and IE10, no problem here.

I did get a few odd redirects a couple of weeks ago, but not porn (shopping sites) and they stopped fairly quickly so I didn't report. Will report if they return!

Have just had to apologise to my OH for accusing him last night, blaming him for looking at filth and inadvertently giving it access to my phone via our wifi. Seems its not him after all... Blush

This has happened to me twice as well in my iphone, redirected to a site called ewank too. Freaked me right out, I deleted all the cookies on my phone and the history but it was definitely only happening from mumsnet.
