Reading a thread when suddenly the page changed to a rather graphic video! I'm on an I pad (using safari) and I definitely haven't been on any dodgy sites, is this a mumsnet problem or an iPad problem?

Just happened to me. Very graphic picture! It was difficult to close too as it said it was loading so lucky dc were not around.

Always remember to clear your Safari cache regularly. It helps a lot.

Just happened to me too. On iPad using Safari. Sorry, no screenshot as I closed the browser down immediately.

Any answers?

What exactly is a troll glitch? That's not explaining to me how porn bypassed my internet provider protection and landed on my screen.

Should I stop my DC from using this device? Is it linked to only MN and only certain threads?

I hit the back button to be greeted with naked woman and flashing yellow page with address bar showing something like zerwin???

I haven't used FB on safari and this page jumped up from nowhere

Happened to me too!

I was reading the 'is this sepsis' thread, moved onto page 2 and got this cartoon picture instead of a man and woman DTD. There was a message on it I can't remember what it said, something to do with don't look at this web page.

Just had it happen again but with some sort of credit card/dodgy looking money site. Before I saw the post about taking a screenshot though, if it happens again I'll take one.

We're sorry to hear about this - would you try to get a screenshot for us if it happens again. We'll certainly take a look.

Don't worry, it has happened before and is a troll glitch basically so nothing to do with anyone's browsing history Wink
