Why is this happening when I open a thread on my iPhone?

Caoimhe1922 · 09/04/2015 17:58

Every time I click on a topic, or thread or any link on the Mumsnet site, a new page opens to an Irish rail site, Luas.ie. (I am in Ireland) via another site ad.doubleclick.net
To open the link I want, I have to open a new page. This is only happening on my phone not my laptop.
I have cleared my history but it still happens. It seems to only happen on the Mumsnet site.
I don't know what I have done, it's really annoying when clicking on a thread hoping to find something juicy and interesting to find only the latest travel updates.
Can anyone help me?

Yay! I know what Katy did!
She only went and fixed the Internet!
Thank you for returning Mumsnet to me!

I also get ad.doubleclick showing up, but it doesn't go to a different website.

It's almost like that's what my phone is using to access MN, iyswim.

Mea culpa Caoimhe1922 (well technically a general MN culpa but I'll take the hit).

We're v much on the case. If anyone has a screenshot the could ping over that would be grand.

It's not fixed. Still happening.

TheEagle · 10/04/2015 10:06

I think it's been fixed now hope I haven't jinxed it

Me too. I think it's an adclick virus. I tried on three different devices.

Either we all have a virus or the sites been hacked with a domain redirect, or something.....

Helgathehairy · 10/04/2015 09:54

Its happening me too on my iPhone. I'm in Ireland.

Greenstone · 10/04/2015 09:51

So glad it's not just me!

It's still happening. It's driving me crazy. Everything I click on it opens that stupid luas page! Angry

DebbieFiderer · 10/04/2015 09:38

And I do have the Luas ad at the bottom of the page on my Kindle.

TheEagle · 10/04/2015 09:37

Aha I see the ad now! (Or rather I now notice that the bunny is advertising the LUAS!)

It's wrecking my head, I can only use the desktop site which is not acceptable to a 34+ weeks pregnant woman who needs to MN :)

DebbieFiderer · 10/04/2015 09:36

I'm getting this too, but only on my Kindle Fire, not on my phone (Android). I am not in Ireland but weirdly my Kindle often thinks I am (defaults to google.ie for instance).

catzpyjamas · 10/04/2015 08:30

www.luas.ie/easterextravaganza/
There is a Luas ad at the bottom of the page in mobile view

catzpyjamas · 10/04/2015 08:28

I'm getting it on Kindle fire. I can't do anything on MN probably can't even post this

Valsoldknickers · 10/04/2015 08:28

MNHQ, any news? It's still happening.

Really annoying while trying to play the word games :(

mais · 10/04/2015 08:19

Happening here too - on Safari & Chrome on iPhone. Really frustrating.
I'm in Ireland too.

LayMeDown · 10/04/2015 08:02

Same here. Have to open in separate window but even then once I want to go to next page it happens again. Incredibly irritating.

TheEagle · 10/04/2015 07:56

Oh and I'm in Ireland too if that makes a difference - but I can't see a LUAS ad anywhere on the mobile site!

TheEagle · 10/04/2015 07:55

It's happening to me too, driving me nuts!

It was fine late last night but it's back now.
