I am on desktop, (phone and ipad are charging). But I use desktop a lot anyway.

Today, I noticed that the site would just default to the Google search home page after about ten/fifteen seconds, no warnings. Whoa!

Easy to solve, just press the back button and I'm back!

But is a bit of a pain. I have three other similar talk sites open and it is not happening with any of THEM.

Anyone had similar today?

Any ideas how to fix. Thanks, it is driving me mad now.

I have anti virus software and all that. This is just like one minute I'm reading a thread and seconds later MN no more only Google search page.

Just wondered if anyone else has the same thing happening.

Thank you everyone.

It is always good to know that something other than my own device/software is doing this!

Hopefully will be sorted soon.

Yes; it's driving me mad! Including just now as I searched to see if there was a thread about it.

It's happening to me too... Mumsnet, is it "you" causing this? It doesn't happen on any other website.

Still happening now. I'm assuming it's a MN thing since I've not had it with any other sites. Makes you wonder how secure this site is...

Yep, Chrome on Chromebook. I thought I was inadvertently clicking something at first.

Hi All,

So sorry for this and thanks again for bringing to our attention, we think we have found the reason for the google redirection and stopped it, however, if any of you still experience this issue please do let us know ASAP.

Thanks
