Twice this morning on my iPad have I tried to access a thread, and have been redirected to Apple. I wonder if iPads can get a virus, or forum software get infected.

Same thing has happened to me. The home page kept changing to apple for about a fortnight & had to keep changing back to my choice. Plenty of bugs in the software, pages jumping etc, so hopefully the new one will sort it.

I just replaced my iPad 1 with an iPad Air 1 two weeks ago and have noticed the same thing since. It's happened about 3-4 times.
 
I have found that this issue is usually due to ISP and/or router DNS issues and not the device itself.

I suggest the following to try and resolve this issue...

Modem/Router:
1. If you have manually added DNS server IPs to your router, write them down, remove them, choose DHCP and let your ISP choose the DNS servers automatically.
2. Power cycle your modem/router.

iOS Device:
1. Close all running apps, including Safari.
2. Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data.
3. Update to the latest iOS.
4. Perform a hard reset.

Let me know if that helps,
