@QOD

Well this is my third response and perhaps it’s stopped !!!

Our team are on it. If there's any new issues as of 11.45 please let us know, and upload screenshots!

I’ve just tried back on the mobile site. It’s not happening, but the caveat is I’m only seeing mumsnet ads, e.g. for the book, no external ones.

That's fine, thanks for letting us know. Flowers

Still happening. When I tried to open this thread, actually.

Can you show us a screenshot of the ones happening past 11.45?

FluffytheGoldfish · 11/08/2019 12:48

Just happened again on my Samsung phone. Took screenshots but can't attach them as it keeps redirecting me. I'm posting from my tablet now (hasn't happened on here yet).
Location Glasgow.

Can you email us the screenshots? [email protected]

I’m also having this issue. Am I supposed to be doing something to make it stop?

Has the site been hacked, is our personal data at risk?

Just give us screenshots and let us know devices/browsers if possible!
It's a dodgy popup issue - nothing going on with hacking etc, don't worry!

FluffytheGoldfish · 11/08/2019 12:55

Have sent it now.

Thank you. Flowers

Seem to be OK now - well, having opened x4 threads and posted on this one

FATEdestiny · 11/08/2019 14:06

First thread I looked at after logging in just now did the same "I've won.." redirect. Happened maybe two or three minutes ago.

I didn't screen shot because I didn't know I needed to again. It is exactly the same as those I posted earlier though.

FluffytheGoldfish · 11/08/2019 14:09

Still can't use mumsnet at all on my phone as every thread I try to read is redirected. But tablet is still okay.

Alliumlove · 11/08/2019 14:10

I phone X safari. 🙄

Mine kept doing it still but after I went into settings and erased website history and data it stopped.

FATEdestiny · 11/08/2019 14:14

Just logged out and logged back in. First thread I looked at (which seems to be common for me - always the first thread but then fine for a while).

Happened just now (as well as about 10 minutes ago)

I cleared the history on my browser as I posted above (having read the earlier post suggesting this).

I read maybe 4 or 5 threads and have just had the same redirects again.

So deleting history didn't help

Thanks so much, all. Really sorry that this is still happening - hang in there, we're doing our best to get this sorted.

Weirdly not happening on here any more for me but is on other sites. Can you explain the issue MN? Is there anything I can do my end to stop it?

FluffytheGoldfish · 11/08/2019 18:51

Tried my phone again and it was ok for about 10 minutes and now it is happening again. I also cleared my history after the last time.

FATEdestiny · 11/08/2019 19:05

Happened just now. Not solved.

I haven’t been on mumsnet since this started happening yesterday lunchtime, didn’t want mumsnet lack of security to infect my phone. Other websites I use don’t seem to have as many issues. Doesn’t seem to be happening tonight but if it does, I’m off again until they resolve it.
