Livid - porn on my phone! please help

I'm not the most tech savvy person, can anyone help please?

Last night I was posting on Mumsnet and an advert for a sex chat site appeared out of nowhere which had a close up video of a woman using a vibrator on herself that completely filled the screen Angry.

How did I inadvertently do this? It was on the Louise Mensch thread, I followed a link to the tweet and read it, then went back to post my message. I think when I hit post is when the porn appeared but I can't be entirely sure. I couldn't work out how to get it to stop either for a minute, or how to close the page.

I don't want porn on my phone ffs! What can I do?

I keep getting the basic version of MN , really annoying it's happening every 5 mins approx. No porn though, yay!

aaahhhBump · 01/08/2016 22:56

Not had any bother since the adds went back on or on the test site. WineWineWine is much deserved

Sooverthis · 30/07/2016 15:05

GloGirl · 30/07/2016 09:19

Happened to me the other day too. Using the app on iPhone 6s.

MermaidofZennor · 30/07/2016 08:11

pick click

MermaidofZennor · 30/07/2016 08:10

Did wonder who Danny Dyer is - sounds a bit of a twat. Perhaps would have been better if MN had explained what they were doing and that we weren't to pick on links. Was worried when it led me away from MN.

PeaceOfWildThings · 30/07/2016 07:24

Yep, since the link had been used as a placeholder, a new meme had been added. . I guess it's something Danny Dyers tweeted (whoever they are).

lougle · 29/07/2016 23:27

All the links on the test page go to

buzzfeed.com/kimberleydadds/if-danny-dyers-tweets-were-motivational-posters?utm_term=.iqPxY346d#.jf3Qw9JaV

Which starts with a quote about tits Hmm.

Hello all
You don't have to click on any of the links on that test page, which are just placeholders. What we're interested in is whether any of you get strange ads when looking at that page. So far it sounds as though you haven't?

Glogirl, which is the link that goes to the page with the 'look at the tits' line? Not cool - not cool at all. Let me know which one it is and I'll delete. Really sorry - looks as though someone has been having a bit of fun Hmm with the whole page. I will be having words on Monday...

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 29/07/2016 22:40

What?Confused

paxillin · 29/07/2016 22:38

No porn, just buzzfeed

StorminaBcup · 29/07/2016 22:37

I've just clicked on all the links and the only ones that don't work are the Sussex meet up (redirects to a page not found) and the one below the link under the Gary Barlow news (I knew it Grin ).

No pop-up willies though. I'm on android using chrome browser.

GloGirl · 29/07/2016 21:40

My very favourite from the test page is the Gary Barlow 'news' though Grin

GloGirl · 29/07/2016 21:38

It's a test site. The techs have added in some fake links just for bumph to test they show up correctly and open the link.

The Danny Dyer page is just a joking 'test' url. Completely harmless and intentional.

I am a little Hmm that the Mumsnet test page links to something that first says "Look at the tits on that" though...

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 29/07/2016 21:26

I'm Confused too.

MermaidofZennor · 29/07/2016 21:23

I assumed we were supposed to click on the links. I found the Danny Dyer BuzzFeed thing and closed it, assuming it was going to morph into porn or something. Assumed that, as it was sent to us as a link in a pm, they must have known about the peculiar BuzzFeed Danny Dyer stuff? Or was that changed more recently? Confused.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 29/07/2016 21:21

Atlas,me too, I've emailed HQ to ask them to confirm but no reply as yet.

DangerQuakeRhinoSnake · 29/07/2016 21:16

Wait - are we supposed to click the links from that address in the PM? If so, I too get the Danny Dyer thing.

However I understood that we were just to visit that address and wait to see if it redirected us. Can someone please clarify?

Atlas15 · 29/07/2016 20:55

I got this buzz feed Danny Dyer article from the private message link

I'm still getting the basic layout occasionally too but only on my phone (android) and not dh's (iOS).

StorminaBcup · 29/07/2016 20:41

I got that too Mermaid
