@rjn21 I know it's been a little bit since you've posted. Did you not experience problems in that time?

Okay, so I did a search a couple of days ago for Queen Victoria. Now on FlyerTalk (and only on FlyerTalk) I keep seeing ads for kinky underwear from gamiss.com. Some of these border on the pornographic.
If this continues I may be forced to install a Voldemort.

Non-stop popups
While it does mention my ISP, it only shows up on Flyertalk, no other forums. The website directs to: bestgiftideaever.ooo
I’ve gotten non-stop popup ads on FT today. I couldn’t even get to the correct thread to post this report, using my Safari browser.

I’m sorry I’m not going to be a huge help since I’ve ahem “already taken care of it” on my side, but I was getting a browser highjack three or four times the last two days to some “congratulations! You won an amazon gift card!”
As I said, sorry I can’t take a screen shot since it’s been “fixed” on my end, but something added into the rotation in the last day or two is Fing stuff up for you guys... it’s totally unacceptable and made the site unusable. Hopefully you can catch it before you lose more eyes.
