Mr.United_Nations Posted December 8, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Apparently when i go to Unexplained mysteries on my blackberry I can't go on it as its been listed as adult content. Virgin tells me i need to be over 18 to see the site, anyone why that happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatFromHell Posted December 8, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I'm with orange and a similar thing happened. You need to ring customer services or go into your nearest virgin store and prove you are over 18 and they'll switch the safeguard off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saru Posted December 8, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 8, 2013 This sounds like an issue with the ever increasing trend of Internet and mobile providers classing websites as 'adult' for flimsy or erroneous reasons ( usually decided upon by a computer ) as a type of forced parental control for those under 18. You can probably bypass it by changing your web content filtering settings on your mobile provider account. I believe some mobile networks consider any web forum, no matter what the subject, to be 'adult' content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
