As the title says. Am using a google nexus 7 tablet, browsing in Chrome. It is happening when browsing active threads.

Very disturbing. Please advise. Many thanks.

No porn sites but mine keeps redirecting to the google play store this morning. Nexus 7, chrome. Its only happening on mumsnet, I can use other websites fine.

My iPhone keeps doing this too! Thank god it's not just me, I thought I'd done something weird there.

It keeps doing that for me too, redirecting to play store.

Mine is doing it too, most unpleasant. Am leaving MN alone for the day in the hope it will get sorted

I'm getting Google play store too. Some game with the words shadows and Kings in the title (sorry, I closed it straight away and now I can't remember). I also got a message at the bottom of the screen warning that this type of file can be dangerous, or words to that effect, and did I want to continue. I didn't click yes or no, I just clicked back. I'm on a Samsung tablethe, mobile site, using Chrome.

I have been redirected to the App Store for several different games and some online poker, and then to the charmingly named "e-wank" site Hmm
Thankfully my rather prudish filters blocked the actual content from being shown

Me too on iPhone but pleased it isn't just me. Getting directed to porn sites.

CaptainMorgansMistress · 28/10/2014 10:05

Me too - although I just keep getting the EE content blocked page so presume it's a porn site and my phone is prudish.

Am on mobile site.

Some misogynist loser hackers are no doubt very pleased with themselves today. I've got it too. I thought I'd downloaded something by accident on my phone.

The v long thread just below this is about exactly the same thing. MNHQ and tech are both responding on there.
