Reading a thread when suddenly the page changed to a rather graphic video! I'm on an I pad (using safari) and I definitely haven't been on any dodgy sites, is this a mumsnet problem or an iPad problem?

We're sorry to hear about this - would you try to get a screenshot for us if it happens again. We'll certainly take a look.

Don't worry, it has happened before and is a troll glitch basically so nothing to do with anyone's browsing history Wink

Thanks to you all for flagging this up to us. We really do appreciate it. Our tech team are looking into the problem and hope to resolve it soon.

Is this just happening on iPads?

Please let me assure you we definitely do not accept advertising from anyone, we have very strict blocks and rules in place, unfortunately the fraudsters are always finding ways to bypass security.
I am currently working with our partners to see what additional measures we can put in place, I will update on this thread.

Thanks

Morning everyone,

Once again, we really do apologise.

Hi All,

Have there been any more unwanted popups/redirects since midday today?

Hi
Can I check if you are accessing Mumsnet via the site or Facebook when this happens?

AngieMumsnet will be back with an update asap everyone - thanks for the details. Grateful, MNHQ

Hi All
We've been working hard to figure this out but it's like finding a needle in a haystack, I will not bore you with all the technical jargon but just wanted to let you know we have made some more changes to make it harder for these fraudsters to get through.
If issue persists please note exact time of offensive redirect appearing so we can align this back to our reporting.
Thanks all
