Sites redirecting to p**n on iPad

I've just got a new iPad (Tuesday) and twice today I've clicked on an innocent link and it's been redirected to porn. Once was on here, it was a thread in the Showbiz forum - not a link in the thread, but a link to a thread in the main Showbiz board. The second time was on different forum (not DS), again the link to a thread.

Does anyone know what or why this is? It never happened once on my last iPad. :confused:

    Which browser are you using? Try clearing out the cache, some other people are reporting this, I suspect there is some cookie or other that is being read by something that is either in one of the adverts on this site or is somehow being linked, I think for example Facebook tracks you away from the Facebook site.

    On my Playbook I often used to get some random audio auto start when accessing this site (some boyband crap) it diesn't happen now.
