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 don't know TBH, but I just know it happened me a few months ago. One minute reading about neighbours parking in someone's parking space, then suddenly a bit of an unpleasant surprise.

It's happened to me too - there is an existing thread in Site Stuff about it. If memory serves, it was a dodgy ad that was the cause, so might be worth posting in Site Stuff and reporting the post so that MNet know it's happening again.

Does anyone else use your phone? Do you download a lot of apps or go onto less naice websites than Mumsnet?

I wonder if you have a virus and if it were my phone I'd install and run a virus check now.

What phone are you on? Android or iPhone?

So it's something to do with Mumsnet rather than my phone then?

This happened me on a mumsnet thread once too, can't remember what I was reading but suddenly there was a pop up screen with porn.

The good news is that it was a complete one off and has never happened since. Was really strange though.

(Or just report your own post to have the thread moved to site stuff)

Best post this in site stuff, or message MNHQ.
