I can’t read this message board without getting bitten by this crap. I was in the BBQ Pit, in a thread about American bigots being out in force when I was shanghaied into a website called News and [Promotions.com](http://Promotions.com).

It happened around 9:45am. In Chicago, on my Android phone.

I love this board, but your security needs work.
