Keep getting directed to dodgy sites

Hi, three times today I’ve clicked on a thread and it’s opened another window, to a dodgy site. The last one was a “100th person to click wins an iPad” type of thing. I’m on an iPad with iOS 11.2. Any ideas?

I’ve just been closing the new window down. I seem to remember it being an issue on mn a whole ago but I can’t remember what (if anything) was done to fix it.

Sorry, just seen the iPad bit. I got this on my iPhone.

This happened to me for a few weeks! No idea why and it seems to have stopped now. It was bloody annoying! The pages just automatically opened when I clicked to look on the next page of a thread, and clicking ‘back’ didn’t work. I assume this is on your phone by the way?
