    I don't think that's true about the virus...I got it once on my phone this afternoon on this site...then not again.

    Yeah, I kind of doubt we all have the same virus striking around the same time...especially with mine happening on my phone. Think it's something on the site.

    Why was it down the other night?

    Its Google ads. Thats the ad software many sites run and Im pretty sure ours does too. Occasionally they put out a real piece of crap ad like this thats not only useless but annoying as hell.

    FFG this is exactly what Paul and myself were talking about in the GM League forum thread.

    It's weird though, because it just started. Been fine all day. Fine on my phone browser too.

    I wasn't able to access the site through my bookmark or by typing the address in. After a day and a half, I tried a google search and it worked. Something was wrong.

    Our IT guy has been notified .As Matt says we have had problems with certain ads on googlesense.We need to weed those out.Its a continual process because as new adds are added we have to identify which ones are causing problems.

    Recently our server had a hiccup and we were offline for some hours.It happens

    I'm glad we're not the only ones getting this Matt. I was beginning to think it was just a mod problem. Curiously... I'm still not getting this issue here at work though. Both using Chrome... both on PC's.

    Work may be using some kind of software to protect their network in which case they also know what you're doing.... :shifty:

    I'm back at home now... didn't have a problem there at work... now that I'm home.. haven't seen the problem yet either. I work in a small office and I'm essentially the IT guy at the moment so no problem there :wink2:

    Dude. Obviously your computer needs a software update.

    Were it not for internet sites reminding me to download an update I would have no idea my software needs updating.

    In just the past week I've almost doubled my RAM just by purchasing a download.

    Willing to be its more likely local to your computer. Probably a case of a hijacked browser.
