Hi, I was on the classifieds last night (full site, used car search) on my iPhone 4s and it was working grand.

Is where it eventually ends up after some really quick automatic redirecting (I think that's how to describe it...? A few different addresses come up on my URL search box.

It's fine elsewhere, eg I had a window open on a Nissan 350z and I can still see this page without issue, and if I click the "breadcrumb" link to view all 350zs this works fine. Just seem to get spammed on http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars

We have reproduced this here in the office too and shown the team responsible - they are looking into now to remove it.

Any joy with this? Still happening. Most disconcerting.

Not happening with me just now - ipad on wifi. It stopped happening to me soon after Pete's last post so I thought it was fixed.
