Scince I am using Waterfox (64 bit Firefox), I did not have any problems, except that FF is a problem due to its slow launching.

So the site is back up and we are still waiting on a few things.
So far we have updated the software again and run several scans which do not find a problem. Everything points to this being an issue with Firefox rather than with the site as other browsers do not encounter the same warning.
Marc is in contact with Mozilla and Google to clear any "flags" which may have been raised on this site.
As things stand we do not anticipate any more issues (though the warnings still appear if you are using FF) but we are, again, going through everything piece by piece and may need to take the site down again so please bear with us.
Thank you for your patience and please report anything "weird" here.

Well, it appears that the "flags" have cleared and the Google warnings are also a thing of the past. Back to business!!

We do have a few new features and some nice cool new things to make the most of but i will go into that later on. Probably need to get some rest soon, 30 hours straight without sleep lol.

Was it the amazon ads???? You should make money anyway you can but truthfully those ads suck if you are using a touch screen like a nook or phone. I dont think they work like they are suppose to ... My opinion
Moderates are not republicans

Hmm...the touch screen element is something i hadn't through about, but from what we have seen from the feedback, the right corner of a post is where members would prefer ads be, instead of in the middle of pages and between posts. I can empathize though, that you end up clicking the things a lot by accident on a hand held device.

Perhaps it was a Seattle thing instead?

What happened to the list of the currently online members?
Administrator
It is no longer available to anyone other than staff, though contributing members can still access it by clicking the who is online page. It is mainly for security reasons that currently active posters list was removed but the who is online function is still there, for paying members. At the point you contribute to the site we know you are obviously not going to be a Spammer or up to no good so we do not be grudge you looking at current user activity for those whom are not invisible or hidden. However if we left it open to registered users, too, then Spammers my get their hands on user activity, which is the last thing we want.

Sad that the forum has to take steps against Spammers.
