Site diverting to porn

A few times when I've tried to use the site today it's randomly diverted to a porn site. I haven't clicked on anything it just cycles through some pages and ends up on the one attached (apologies for the images but thought might help if you had web address). I'm using safari on an iphone5 and this isn't happening on any other sites.

I just started a similar thread..I've clicked to close the ad tab before it fully loads but I wonder if mine is porn too. Mine happens when I click the Active button, about 2x out of 5, a new tab opens and it's an ad about to load. On PC.

this has happened to me on iPhone this morning too!

Exactly the same as my phone!

Urgh is Jeffrey back? Community service didn't teach him a lesson?

MonsterZinc · 17/08/2016 10:16

Mine didn't divert to porn but it diverted due to an ad and went to the AppStore. When I came back here it had this a pop up showing I had violated this that and the other laws re porn and I couldn't click off it.

Had to clear history and restart phone.

I will email screen shot as it has my IP address on it.

JinkxMonsoon · 17/08/2016 10:21

I got the dating pop up too.

Tinkfromlovejoy · 17/08/2016 10:36

Not as interesting as some, but mine is diverting to a tesco clipboard thingummy or a pop up telling me my device has viruses and I must click now to have them dealt with Hmm

Tinkfromlovejoy · 17/08/2016 10:37

*clubcard, although I'm sure Tesco do very nice clip boards Wink

fiftyval · 17/08/2016 10:51

Mine went to a dating site so I tried to return to mn then got something saying had virus and trying to get meto install software. typing this post has jumped around too

Queenbean · 17/08/2016 10:53

It's really shit. I thought they'd sorted this out by now? It has been going on for weeks

WildImaginings · 17/08/2016 11:19

Exact same pop up here! And also diverted me to the AppStore for an audiobook app download.

gloopygloop · 17/08/2016 11:22

Same thing happening to me this morning, I am on an iPhone. It has directed me to AppStore a couple of times and last time to something like ' Fucksnet'. Good time to log off and go and do something useful with my day!

Sofabitch · 17/08/2016 11:24

I'm on a Samsung so I don't think its restricted to i phones:-(

RebeccaMumsnet · 17/08/2016 12:06

Hi all,

Thanks for this and massive apologies. We have sent this to our ads team and we'll post again as soon as we know more.

Apologies again

bibbitybobbityyhat · 17/08/2016 12:10

Not again!! Ffs. I dont have this problem with any other website I look at. I don't understand why its such a problem to sort out??

FlightlessBird · 17/08/2016 12:56

Happening to me too, I keep getting porn come up on my phone Hmm

JinkxMonsoon · 17/08/2016 13:00

Just got this. Didn't proceed to the App Store, obviously, so I've no idea what it was trying to sell me.
