Ok for me now too I think.

Thecatknowsshesboss · 04/12/2015 21:41

Been OK when I've used it today.

TendonQueen · 04/12/2015 19:31

I had this yesterday - got sent to Snapsext or Sextsnap. Also the 405 not allowed message at the top. But don't think it's happened today so hopefully measures have worked.

Binglesplodge · 04/12/2015 18:41

Same here: thank you!

Amazemedontbeacunt · 04/12/2015 18:28

So far so good Wine

It seemed to be working normally last night on my android phone (on laptop typing this and it's fine).

Well done techs!

Thanks all, these reports are really helpful. We realise this is very frustrating so thanks for your patience so far, it's very frustrating for us too.
We have very few ads running on mobile and tablet now as we have been systematically turning these off since this was first reported, you'll mainly just see ads promoting internal mumsnet features/products. Consequently, we'd expect the redirects to no longer be happening. Is this the case?

Binglesplodge · 03/12/2015 22:48

Still happening! Another Android here. Frustrating but I know you're doing your best to fix it.

IMustNotForgetMyPasswordAgain · 03/12/2015 22:45

I've just been sent to 'won a prize', was wondering if it was just me, but obviously not!

A bit more info about the issue (and its not MNs fault).

You can prevent it by disabling JavaScript in your browser, but unfortunately this will also stop a lot of legitimate things working properly.

Ah this must be why I had a tab open to a porn page at p.xfuntube.co.uk this evening. I was confused. Using an android phone chrome browser.

robindeer · 03/12/2015 22:36

Not porn but am being redirected a lot tonight, from various threads on the active board. Once redirected I can't use the back button and have to close the tab completely.

Lizawithaz · 03/12/2015 22:28

Oh and i also got 405 not allowed in place of the advert banner.

Lizawithaz · 03/12/2015 22:26

This just happened on my phone (samsung android). Suddenly switched to a porn site called Smashbox showing two young topless women. Really disturbing.

Thecatknowsshesboss · 03/12/2015 22:21

and me as well, on moto g.

Chippednailvarnish · 03/12/2015 22:20

Me too...

biffyboom · 03/12/2015 22:19

Just been redirected to a 'you have won a prize' site.
Had to keep bashing the home button on my phone to get off it.

dementedpixie · 03/12/2015 22:18

Just happened again. Android

BlueEyeshadow · 03/12/2015 22:14

I've had a few days with "405 not allowed" instead of an ad at the top too.

Bishboshbash · 03/12/2015 21:31

Just happened to me now as I clicked on my inbox. Smashbix or something like that porn site?

GoldPlatedBacon · 03/12/2015 21:27

It's just happened to me now

ididntsignupforthis1 · 03/12/2015 21:26

Me too but my tesco phone contract blocked me. Just said I'm not registered as over 18 lol

Just happened to me now. Snapchat porn and then a pop up telling me about a virus. I'm using an android phone.
