Keep getting directed to dodgy sites

Hi, three times today I’ve clicked on a thread and it’s opened another window, to a dodgy site. The last one was a “100th person to click wins an iPad” type of thing. I’m on an iPad with iOS 11.2. Any ideas?

Still happening for me too. Bloody hope it’s sorted tomorrow - I’m being induced and faffing on mn was one of my “hanging around” strategies!

kingfisherblue33 · 22/03/2019 22:47

Me too! The Sky ad. Appears when I click on photos or randomly, every few clicks. What’s happening, Bloody annoying.

Whereareyouspot · 22/03/2019 22:47

Still happening.
I’m on an iPhone
So irritating

Still happening, ironically when I tried to post this message first time.

Still getting it.

Pop ups and the French adverts here still.

ScrambledSmegs · 23/03/2019 01:09

Been using an Ad blocker (Ad Guard) and not had a single pop-up on either phone or tablet.

Shame as I rather like the Silent Pool ads. They're pretty, and they make me snigger because I always mentally remove the final letter yes I'm extremely childish

Been happening to me the last couple of days too. On iPad using Safari.

gt84 · 23/03/2019 01:15

This has been happening to me too tonight. The BT ad. Happened 3 times just trying to get into this thread. It’s very frustrating and making me not want to use the page

SunshineP · 23/03/2019 04:52

I’m having this problem

pullthecracker · 23/03/2019 06:39

It’s happening even more to me this morning!

pictish · 23/03/2019 06:41

This is making the site unusable!

Solasum · 23/03/2019 06:44

Still happening

JLbaby · 23/03/2019 06:46

Same problem here too, couldn’t even post on here as the ad kept redirecting me!

MrsFrTedCrilly · 23/03/2019 07:15

@MNHQ it’s still happening this morning

AltogetherAndrews · 23/03/2019 07:20

Happening this morning still

Stormyday · 23/03/2019 07:22

Still going on! What a pain.

AliceLutherNeeMorgan · 23/03/2019 07:23

Yes me too - even whilst clicking through to this thread Hmm

JudgeRulesNutterButter · 23/03/2019 07:26

Getting it here too, fwiw I got it even while not actually clicking on a thread, I was trying to click on the three dots at the side to hide the thread.

iPhone with safari

SomewhereNow · 23/03/2019 07:26

Yep me too this morning, bloody annoying - won’t be back on here till it’s fixed.
