    My iPhone browser was hijacked on this site just now, redirecting me to some Walmart gift card nonsense. Site administrators need to do a better job of vetting ads.

    National Telecom has inserted at least two of these supposed “marketing surveys” in my iPad browser in the last two days. FYI

    Without clicking anything, I just got redirected several times to "Flash player needs updating" websites. This was after I clicked a "watched threads" email link from TB.
