For what it's worth, I had a problem on my old phone with the old proboards site. Basically, every now and then, I would load up a thread, the thread would load and it would then immediately redirect. It was usually to a nondescript website with one of those nonsense win an ipod things on it, but every now and then it went to a particularly explicit site. Admin passed it on to proboards and both had a good look for it but found nothing. It may have been the case that I'd picked it up somewhere else and it just happened that most of the pages I opened on my phone were threads on here and so it was just statistically likely that it would only ever happen on here, but I thought it might be worth mentioning while there's a thread on this stuff. For what it's worth, my new phone is capable of using Firefox, complete with adblock plus, and I haven't had a single problem.

Never had this on my PC using Iron (a fork of Chrome), but I think I have on my Android once or twice. Might be a browser hijack from the ad.

Are you absolutely sure that you didn't accidentally click on a link to a stream on matchday and confused our sexy free flowing football with pornography?

This may explain why the wife was presented with a photo of a bird's curtains when browsing through the Thisisstaffordshire web site the other night?
I occasionally access the Oatcake on her iPad and she's now seeing all sorts of chavvy shit popping up on Thisisstaffordshire - porn, dating, all manner of crap.
Both Thisisstaffordshire and the Oatcake behave fine on my PC (apart from Thisisstaffordshire being a sack of complete shit).

Hi everyone, Thanks for the detailed responses in this thread. The more information we have, the easier these types of problems are to track down. We absolutely prohibit this kind of activity by our advertisers, and we are working with our ad provider to get this tracked down and blocked immediately. In the mean time, I have removed all advertising from this forum. Patrick Patrick Thank you for your personal intervention in this matter. With reference to removing ads, I hope that this does not hit the income of the site. With that in mind, I would like to point out that it is not the ads that seem to be the problem, but the sites standard links having been hijjacked to send users to rogue sites. My guess would be that it is a software hack on either your core software or one of the sites plug-ins designed to cloak injected links to porn sites, although I imagine you have worked that much out yourselves. As the originator of this thread, I would ask you to let me know what progress you make on this issue via a PM. In the meantime, I will delay my decision to leave the forum and block the URL. Again, thank you for your personal intervention. Well that's jolly decent of you Malvern! H

I was recently trawling through a porn site and got redirected to the oatcake, I was gutted I can tell you. The owners of the website are looking in to it as they don't want anymore of their clients upset in this way!
