I'm not sure what you're talking about. Did you pick up some malware or something?

This morning after going to the PQ home page and logging in to the message board, I "clicked" on the discussion I wanted to read and was directed to a survey page (a 3rd party site) and asked several very specific PQ questions about my browsing habits. Trying to be helpful to the site, I answered them. I was then thanked and asked to enter into a drawing to win one of three prizes (a table, a cell phone, or a gift card). Then to be "eligible" for the drawing I had to complete two more questionable tasks. At this point I realized it was a scam and exited and was brought back to PQ.

My computer is clean as a whistle, I had just run my normal malware/virus scans yesterday.

It could be an isolated case, I have never had something like that happening in the PQ website.
