Same here. Even on this thread, annoyingly enough.

Oh glad some of you also got the virus warning. I was 99% sure it was a scam and I didn’t click on anything but glad to have it confirmed

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 10/08/2019 14:27

Any comment here HQ?

GirlInTheDirtyShirt · 10/08/2019 14:48

Me too. iPhone X, located in Spain, using Safari browser. Literally every link I click on the site takes me to a spam advert redirect. I had to click “open in new tab” just to get to this thread.

Me too. IPhone 7

Hello everyone - we're really sorry about this. Thanks for letting us know and for sharing the screen shots - we're looking into what's going on now.

MrMeSeeks · 10/08/2019 16:25

Im getting this on every topic now, only on this siteHmm
This site also won’t post my replies

MrMeSeeks · 10/08/2019 16:37

I cant post a pic as every-time i press the button the spam comes up.
This site is unusable for me right now.
Its happening on every single thread i go on.

SauvignonBlanche · 10/08/2019 16:38

I’ve been ‘chosen’ 11 times. Hmm

JingsMahBucket · 10/08/2019 16:40

This was happening to me back in July as well. I thought it was just me.

tinkering · 10/08/2019 16:52

And again Linky

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 10/08/2019 16:56

For info, my Iphone was due an update tonight so I did it now instead and fingers crossed nothing has happened since.

EnidButton · 10/08/2019 17:05

Same. iPhone using Chrome. Been happening since very early this morning. Not on every page but usually when trying to post on a thread.

EnidButton · 10/08/2019 17:06

God sorry, using Safari not chrome obviously.

Ulverstonian · 10/08/2019 17:38

Me too. Glad it’s not just my phone.

Not letting me post replies either.

How much money does @mnhq make from advertising? Surely they could invest in better tech.

Switching to reddit if this continues.

Bagadverts · 10/08/2019 17:41

Awww dammit, I thought I was The Chosen. Not feeling so special now!

I’m on iPhone 8, using Safari on private browsing, as usual. Only happening for the last half hour or so for me.

Ontheboardwalk · 10/08/2019 18:13

Ah I thought I was special as well!
