Somebody might want to have a look promptly & tidy things up, the classifieds seem to be full of porn or chatlines!

Some sort of bot probably.

Is there an email address to report this?

It appears to be Delhi based call girls, although they seem to post to the UK.

£200 seems a bit of a bargain, especially if that includes postage.

I wasn't sure if this should be in the "PSA's that don't deserve their own threads" thread or not

Wonder which user posted the 'right' ad on the 'wrong' site... I'll bet there's some very confused, ahem, gentlemen, looking at an ad for used tyres 🤔

Brings a whole new meaning to wanting rubbers for your, er, ride.

Is this some kind of attempt to drive traffic to the "new" classifieds? If so its working as I've not looked at it for about 18+ months but will have a gander...

Adverts for Haven Holidays and Brittany Ferries. I guess it must just be related to your browsing history @PJay (use incognito).

Keep an eye on the front page 😉 

(Assuming you haven’t gone blind looking at anything in the classifieds)

Did someone forget to clear their browser cache after a 'gentleman's browsing session'? 👀

I've not been to the classifieds in ages, but I do keep getting redirected from threads in the forum to dodgy looking virus scanner sites and when I swipe to go back a page, it goes back to whatever I wax looking at before singletrack, be that Facebook, linked in or whatever.

Is this still available?

 

 

 

 

 

I reported it yesterday in the New Forum thread. It was removed a while later, but that's the 2nd time I've seen it. Needs to be some way to prevent bots from signing up. I don't remember it ever being a problem in the "old" classifieds.

There's a moving text with daft quotes such as "I want bedroom cheese" going under the forum posts. Not porn but stuff that would be frowned on if we wrote it. 😯

I mean, who doesn't want bedroom cheese ?

Surely these are the strange phrases that appear on the spine of the physical magazine?

Huh, never noticed those. If you refresh the page, you get to see all of them briefly, before the slider thing kicks in 😁

Questions!

1 - Why so few?

2 - What's inappropriate about bedroom cheese? Maybe I don't have a dirty enough mind. The thought just makes me hungry.
