Pop up, anyone else?

Was just on the Facebook thread and all of a sudden got diverted away from the page and given the attached pop up. Had to bash the back key (like a demented sea lion) to get back here.

I get these occasionally from other sites (yes ok usually slightly dodgy celeb gossip ones when my curiosity about Taylor Swift and Kanye gets the better of me) but have never had one on MN before.

Is it just me?

Hi there,
We're sorry about this, the Tech folks are on the case. Many apologies for the delay, in the meantime any details you can provide such as phone, computer, browser etc will help.

Seems well dodgy but preferable to porn

Keeps happening to me!

Sirona · 20/07/2016 19:35

To add it didn't happen from clicking on any ads inadvertently. I was reading threads when suddenly it directs to what Pyjamas screenshot.
