I had it a 10 minutes ago (01.52) using Chrome on a desktop, came up after clicking to get on Glastonbury Chat. Lots of full page ads coming up from  spaces.slimspots.com  ,  play.leadzupc.com  ,  www.crazywin.co.uk  ,  www.srv2trking.com ,  www.vaniki.co.uk and  yourradionow.com

I had the same thing 2 or 3 days ago - can't find it in my history now. If I clicked back from it I was just given another ad, just like today.

Thanks.

We're aware that there's been a redirection problem from some ads and a number of measures were made yesterday which we hoped had stopped it, but clearly not.

I'll pass this back and we'll keep at it.

I've had the porn ad a couple of times in the past few days and I've not been here in ages. It was the choice between blonde or brunette thing and was called Porn Bash. The site was px.funtube I think. The first one popped up yesterday or the day before when I opened my Google Chrome browser on android, as this was the last place I'd been. The second happened just now when I was resetting my password.

It's not a virus, it's an advert that hijacks the phone.

I'm aware this problem has started again in the last few days, but trying to get someone to take action on a weekend isn't so easy. I've already annoyed the relevant people with texts again this morning, but whether or not they'll respond I can't say - so if it's not fixed before tomorrow I apologise in advance.

[Krazypinkminx]

Ok cool, its been happening for a while on my phone, but i'll have to stick to the pc for now, cheers

if no one tells me about it, I don't know it's happening to be able to fix it.

Please always bring it to my attention, and then it gets fixed sooner.

I'm getting this pop up when I try to read efestivals.

 

[Krazypinkminx]

Yesterday I went to open efestivals on my iPhone and it redirected me to one of those strange sexy sites. It hasn't happened since though.

Had this recently too while browsing efests...scared the bejeesuz out of Mrs P cos it forces the vibrate to run on the tablet.  Seems to loop if you try to close it so closing the browser has been the only way.

thanks - but wifi or phone network is an important part to also include.

Same, says something about because of using adult sites on my phone on the page underneath. 

 

I wouldn't watch porn on my phone haha

[parsonjack]

Happening on my Sony Xperia Z5 Compact now too on Virgin WiFi on opening Efestivals via Chrome.

 

[eFestivals]

i notice that there's lots of mentions of virgin as a home provider (for wifi), and I'm not able to replicate the problem on my mobile devices via my broadband from another provider.

So i'm wondering if anyone having the problem that's using wifi which isn't virgin cable?

Previously these issues have been targeted only at phone network users, so maybe they're now being targeted at virgin users.

Happens to me using tesco mobile 4g. I know it's not your fault @eFestivals but I'd tell the ad house to sort it out now or you're moving to a different provider. It's really not acceptable for them to let this happen.
