Shane told me to tell everyone this:

"I'm unable to go on the forum because every time I try going to it it loads for 1 second, then tries to redirect me to some sort of ad site I think, but WOT and AVG block it so I can't get on."

What a shame

Hi Matt,
Perhaps Shane could get in by using a link directly to a board, rather than the main entry.
Another possibility is that he is triggering one of the ads at the bottom of the forum page. Iâ€™ve had that happen to me a couple of times while going to another page.
Regards,
Marty

Isn't WOT an advisory feature (add-in for Firefox, add-on for IE)..? I don't think it blocks anything..
Perhaps he should check his cookies..

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #4 on:** October 18, 2009, 14:33:00 »

Thanks Guys, I will inform him of these replies

We can only hope they work

Message from Shane:

"Hello everybody, I'm still working on correcting this. Tomorrow I am going to try emptying my cookies and my cache. Also, SaltyDog, WOT does in fact block something if you type a bad site into the address bar.
Thanks,
Shane"

Hopefully he returns someday... A bit boring on forum without Shane!

Yes, nothing interesting to read now.

I donâ€™t know if that will fix his computer problem, but itâ€™s an effective, temporary, relief from seasickness.

Good luck to Shane.

Use a different browser until he gets firefox fixed?

Jayshum · « **Reply #14 on:** October 21, 2009, 04:24:30 »

I think I know the solution. Tell him to deactivate AVG safesearch in Firefox.

Tools>Add-ons>Extensions>AVG Safesearch, and Disable.

I was suffering a similar problem last week, but not with this forum. Nearly everything else though.

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #15 on:** October 21, 2009, 20:50:47 »

Thanks Ill Let him know

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #16 on:** October 21, 2009, 20:55:50 »

Also,

It seems the problem has been corrected.. I had the same thing (although you can just click the 'ignore this warning' link and still open the website) but it is now no longer an issue for me. Vstep knew about this issue, and went and had a talk with the ads people.

Seems fixed! Let's hope Shane can get back on now!

Hi Fred,

I'll let him know if I see him today before yourself,

Jack.

firestar12 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 22, 2009, 16:46:32 »

Guess who's back?

Clearing my cookies and Cache was all it took.

And before I forget, Fred, I don't know if Jack told you but hitting the "Go to anyway" fuction did not work, it simply made me go to an actual ad site, not the forum.

Yeah with me too, but then when I hit 'previous site' it would pop back to the forum instead of the warning message page. $:-\$

and err.. I don't think it was to do with your cookies, vstep took care of the problem, the problem was not actually on your computer.

Anyways, good to see you on again, welcome back!

For such cases I have a CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/) installed - just select what you want to clean & it does the rest.
