Still looking into it. It's not a mod thing, it's an admin/server hosting thing.

Same problem with my MacBook.

SOLUTION:

If you are using Firefox, follow these instructions…

1. Go to Tools
2. Then Options
3. Then go to the Security Tab
4. Be sure to UN TICK the box labeled “Block Reported Sites”.
5. The click okay at the bottom!
6. Then restart Firefox.

You should be able to access the Forum!

I know if you can read this you aren't having the problem, but please pass on these instructions to those that are via e-mail, text, or phone.

• If you are using Chrome or Macbook you must find the security protocol that governs unknown or possibly harmful webpages. It should be in your browser options. Just turn it off and let your antivirus or firewall do the security job. You should be fine after shutting down the security filter.
  

I will make this a thread for all to see right away.

Also for the Webmaster -

1. You must click on the "Why was this page blocked button?" on the error message.
2. Then go to the Webmaster's Tools Hyperlink. There you will be able to contact Google Security to re-certify Statueforum.com as a safe domain.

Not dangerous at all!

By no means is Firefox any level of protection against any malware or Badware. They are just filtering out whatever Firefox deems as not up to standard protocols.

Obviously so, since SF is blocked! LOL!

You should be relying on a Firewall and antivirus for true protection. And you should be in control of what you see and what you don't. That is all that turning off that button does!

I was totally jivin', brother! I am completely and utterly protected. I learned the hard way many years ago that one can be f'd in a really bad way if one is not careful and vigilant. A little paranoia never killed anybody either... well, not that many folks.
