Why is this happening when I open a thread on my iPhone?

Caoimhe1922 · 09/04/2015 17:58

Every time I click on a topic, or thread or any link on the Mumsnet site, a new page opens to an Irish rail site, Luas.ie. (I am in Ireland) via another site ad.doubleclick.net
To open the link I want, I have to open a new page. This is only happening on my phone not my laptop.
I have cleared my history but it still happens. It seems to only happen on the Mumsnet site.
I don't know what I have done, it's really annoying when clicking on a thread hoping to find something juicy and interesting to find only the latest travel updates.
Can anyone help me?

Its happening me too on my iPhone. I'm in Ireland.

Me too. I think it's an adclick virus. I tried on three different devices.

Either we all have a virus or the sites been hacked with a domain redirect, or something.....

Mea culpa Caoimhe1922 (well technically a general MN culpa but I'll take the hit).

We're v much on the case. If anyone has a screenshot the could ping over that would be grand.

I also get ad.doubleclick showing up, but it doesn't go to a different website.

It's almost like that's what my phone is using to access MN, iyswim.

Yay! I know what Katy did!
She only went and fixed the Internet!
Thank you for returning Mumsnet to me!
