john53 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I was warned not to come here as this is a deceptive site. Not safe. Why am I receiving these notices? Is it Firefox that doesn't agree or has ARC gone bad like "potato salad"?---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Cartwright Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Someone must have reported it, I'm guessing by mistake. I got the same thing in Chrome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackMan Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Yeah I got the same message. I'm a Firefox user. I clicked on "Ignore". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skyhawk174 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Well I might as well join the band wagon. Yup me too this morning with the notice. Yesterday was fine. Firefox user and notice came from Firefox and not my anti virus program. Maybe the adverts on the page have pissed someone off and it was reported?

Sir Fondlebottom Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 It's Googles Safe Browsing that's flagging it https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/safebrowsing/diagnostic/#url=http://www.arcforums.com I bet it's the malware redirect that never got fixed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How long has it been - five, six years now? Isn't time to update the forum software and fix this for good? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantomdriver Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 yeah, I got it too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 It might be because your accessing via https but the forums runs on http, if the certificate is not there then you get that warning Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darren Roberts Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Strange, I got to the forums just an hour or so ago with no problem, but then just now got the message. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Got the same thing at work, but not at home. I had thought maybe it was work-bosses cracking down.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Got the same thing at work, but not at home. I had thought maybe it was work-bosses cracking down.... That's what I thought too! What?! Now you expect work from me? Not if I can't cruise model sites every once in a while! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Yep, didn't bother me since I was on lunch. Now, if I'm checking up on the rivet count of the F-14's left wing flap WHILE I'm supposed to be teaching my class, THEN you can call me in for reprimand, for sure!

dnl42 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Yeah, I just got it too, this afternoon, on latest Chrome. It might be because your accessing via https but the forums runs on http, if the certificate is not there then you get that warning Not this... It's Googles Safe Browsing that's flagging it https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/safebrowsing/diagnostic/#url=http://www.arcforums.com I bet it's the malware redirect that never got fixed This gets my vote.

Drifterdon Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I got the same warning when I typed in ARCAIR.com so it wasn't based on a google search. Be curious to know if any banned members might be creating trouble for Steve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mlicari Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I got the same warning in Firefox. I reported it as an incorrect identification of a deceptive site. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
