I'm not the most tech savvy person, can anyone help please?

Last night I was posting on Mumsnet and an advert for a sex chat site appeared out of nowhere which had a close up video of a woman using a vibrator on herself that completely filled the screen Angry.

How did I inadvertently do this? It was on the Louise Mensch thread, I followed a link to the tweet and read it, then went back to post my message. I think when I hit post is when the porn appeared but I can't be entirely sure. I couldn't work out how to get it to stop either for a minute, or how to close the page.

I don't want porn on my phone ffs! What can I do?

I'd left my phone for a while - still on mn, came back to some spin the wheel site which I couldn't get out of, had to close chrome and reopen.

Just happened to me too. Samsung phone, just reading a thread, no clicking on links and it redirected to a porn site.

Obliviated · 19/07/2016 21:30

I keep getting 'fuck swipe' pages on my phone when I click on an active thread.

StealthPolarBear · 19/07/2016 21:33

I think this happened to me, telling me people on my social networks were looking for sex. Graphic picture.
I assumed I'd clicked on something, did I not?

ChampagneTastes · 19/07/2016 21:34

Yep me too on an android phone. Of course perhaps this wouldn't happen if we had our app back.

glenthebattleostrich · 19/07/2016 21:37

And again. The broken teens site this time when clicking on an aibu link.

Going to leave the site for a bit I think

Sooverthis · 19/07/2016 21:42

Last two days I've had odd things ie going back to list of talk subjects tsp instead of thread I clicked on and just now got redirected to a sexdate site, I spotted it in the title box and shut it down so I offski for a few days.

Possibilityofanisland · 19/07/2016 21:43

Just happened to me too.

Reading a thread on the mobile site and then redirected to a porn site.

honeysucklejasmine · 19/07/2016 21:43

Christ! I read this thread and thought "poor lot". And then the very next thread I clicked on... fuck swipe.

CousinChloe · 19/07/2016 21:55

Just happened to me too - it came up when I clicked on a thread (about a car parked on someones drive) and not following any dodgy link. Someone or other wants to trade nude photos with me apparently. I do not.

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 19/07/2016 21:59

Just got it as well.
No links, just clicked on active.

Sorry Olivia Blush

Oh gosh, please don't apologise

  • screenshots of porn = no thank you very much
