    Has StumbleUpon been hacked?

    Keeps redirecting me to really random websites using the toolbar. Like one user hijacked the random thing so it only directed me to their pages. I've stopped stumbling for now in case i get sent somewhere particularly malicious! Also kept getting database errors when trying to load up profiles.

    Anyone else..?

    EDIT: Well, it went back to normal pretty fast, but it was really weird. A notification thing kept popping up saying that someone had left a message on the page (seemed like a note about the page that i'd stumbled too - made sense), but then it kept appearing when i tried to stumble again and the messages got more and more random (as if people were having a conversation (the last one i got was "f this bs" (you can fill in the rest) - looked pretty much like the Macrumors hack).

    I think stumbleupon is hacked, because it keeps sending me to crap websites that contain videos and jokes I've seen a million times before...
