desperatehousewife2 · 02/12/2015 23:02

Happening to me all day today on iphone. Really can't use the site.

wasonthelist · 03/12/2015 00:16

I have never experienced this on any site apart from MN.

SilverShins · 03/12/2015 08:55

Sorry, should add I'm on an Android.

Getit · 03/12/2015 09:25

Ffs just happened again!
Instead of a large cock, this time I'm selected as a winner in my town .
Please sort this out mumsnet .

AlisonWunderland · 03/12/2015 09:39

Just got redirected to a large penis and some buttocks.
And not in a good way...

Seriously MN, not acceptable.
Using a hudl2 on Chrome

What really worried me is that when I tried to back click off the site, I got a series of very official loooking pop ups telling me that i was guilty of looking at extreeme pornography sites featuring paedophilia, necrophilia and beastiality in contravention of statute blah blah balh.
These asked me to confirm reload whatever that is, which i didn't fancy doing and it wouldn't let me leave that pop up or access any other Chrome pages

Used home button.
Went to apps.
Disabled chrome, cleared data and cache .
When I reopend Chrome is seemed all clear.
Checked browsing history was clear.

Still worried that I may get a bit policeman appearing accusing me of being complicit in the abuse of some poor donkey.

This is the first time I have been redireced to such a site , despite spending far too much time online, mosting on fairly mainstream safe sites.
Makes me think that MN site is rather leaky compared to others.

Soory no screen shots to help

WotNoLoobrush · 03/12/2015 09:51

No problems this morning apart from site pages frequently not loading properly so something's going onConfused.

For me, this is a wake up call to get antivirus installed on my phone, just in case. It's like being a careful driver isn't it? You can be as careful as you like, but it's no guarantee you won't have an accident because you can't trust other road users.

Danglyweed · 03/12/2015 10:37

This is really driving me mad now, been redirected to porn sites at least ten times this morning, thank christ im home alone!!

howtorebuild · 03/12/2015 10:40

Your site is running very slowly, pages taking ages to load.

BlueEyeshadow · 03/12/2015 11:55

Just got redirected to something dodgy, but shut it down asap so don't know exactly what it was or have screenshots. Was scrolling down active conversations in Chrome for android so might have accidentally clicked something, but very alarming.

howtorebuild · 03/12/2015 12:23

I got redirected to the post office. I pressed threads I am on, not the advert. My kindle was portrait rather than landscape. When I got redirected to porn before it was when using portrait so my guess is it's the advert on the bottom of the mobile site causing the problems. Wink

Thanks Silver, we'll start looking for this one too.

NeededANameChangeAnyway · 03/12/2015 14:19

Just happened to me. Was on the sponsored post about decorating your home for Christmas. Using Android phonewith explorer (not chrome). Pretty graphic and when I hit the back button I just got further and further into porn hell.

Hi Alison, thanks for flagging this. I know it's not much help at this stage but it sounds like you did exactly the right thing.
