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.

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.
