to warn you not to use the Mumsnet mobile site on your android device for the time being?

[bibbitybobbityyhat]

You are at risk of porn pop-ups and various other undesirable adverts and I assume the viruses that usually go with.

I started a thread about it in Site Stuff [http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2685989-Livid-porn-on-my-phone-please-help? here but I know lots of users don't look at the Site Stuff topic.

I did ask HQ to post a warning, but they have not done so, and this has been an ongoing problem for several days.

I've had no porn.

Where is my porn?

All I get is that shitty sleepy baby book.

I think the issue is that this is affecting a very very small subset of mobile site users.

I had this and reported to MN. Had an email to say they were on it, but nothing else so far. Just posted on a normal thread and graphic pop up appeared. Even restarting my phone didn't get rid of it.

Why do you think that ItsAllGoingToBeFine ?

Report it on the site stuff thread, with all of the info requested by tech - will help MNHQ find it.

There are similar reports from iPhone users now.

On my android tablet I got one of those 'fake' competitions which I could only get off my screen by closing down Chrome completely.

Why do we still not have an app? It's been like forever since it all went tits up.

I've had it on my Android phone & I think also on our kindle fire.

Why do you think that ItsAllGoingToBeFine

Because even if you assume that lots of people who are affected aren't reporting, it's still a tiny %age of MN users. Many more people aren't being affected by it, AFAIK the vast majority of people on the mobile site aren't having the issue.

If it is a rogue ad it has obviously only been set to trigger for a very small set of people (this makes it much harder to track down, especially if the conditions for triggering keep changing)

Me too Pimmmms...and it was still there when I restarted my phone

Only if you haven't properly protected your phone. Not really anyone elses fault if you haven't got popup/ad blockers etc on your phone, is it?

There are 176 messages on the site stuff thread, mainly from people who have been affected. If you think that is insignificant then I disagree.

Only on MN can someone start a thread to warn people of a potential problem and not get a single thank you.

Thank you, OP.

It's been like forever since it all went tits up

Great use of phrase for unexpected porn!

You'd have to wonder why MMHQ aren't a little more invested in sorting it out??

thanks bibbity.

I tried Putlocker the other day because I fancied watching 'eighties classic' The Lost Boys. I was so intimidated by the sheer number of busty Russian ladies all over my screen, I gave up & slunk into bed feeling all horrible and insecure.

Thanks for letting us know op. I'm on Android and have swapped over to the desktop site.

Using the desktop site on a mobile is officially rubbish. Hope i get used to it. I wonder what happened about the android app

I prefer it.

How can you possibly know what they are doing unless you work there?

One of the many reasons I use adblockers!

Yes, an email warning people about it would have been good.
