Injected Ads on My Wetpaint Homepage
Jul 17 2008, 9:22 AM EDT
Am i the only one to have this issue? Ads by Adbrite have been added to random words on the welcome page of my wiki. It's not from a user, it's a private wiki, and as this is an academic site, this is totally unacceptable. These ads showed up sometime between the evening of July 16th, and the morning of July 17th. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?
