Got the red screen too
Interestingly, I don't get it on the tablet, I use Firefox on both, hmmmmm
I have no doubt that it will be solved eventually.
I get it on the laptop but not on the tablet but I use Chrome on both

Perhaps its caused by some rogue advertising link?

Hi, been really struggling to get into these forums of late as both safari and google chrome won't let me in, a bright red red page comes up saying that "This site is a dangerous phishing site that will try and trick you into giving them important personal details including credit card details" It's driving me nuts, sometimes I can get in but usually I get blocked after a few clicks. I'm using Chrome to write this, but am expecting to be blocked as soon as I post. Can anyone give me any ideas as to why this is happening?

Yes, I'm getting it constantly now, I use Safari and am unable to get in even when I click "Ignore" It seems Chrome works on "Ignore" so far at least any ways. I've sent several reports to no avail.

I too am facing this issue in Chrome but no one can stop you from visiting just click on detail and visit site. Neil is overseas so he can't look into it and probably wouldn't anyway, this comes and goes it probably google trying to get a few extra bucks.

Steve I had a link emailed to me yesterday it was one to a thread I had posted in that came up with the warning, however when I deleted down to www.woodworkforums.com I gained access no problem.
This could mean that they will have to remove each and every block on every subscription obviously they are not removing it as a blanket to cover all the subscriptions many of us have.
The link (

Steve has only just fixed the issue at WWF
NOW the web browser people have to take WWF off their list of deceptive sites.
This will take ~24Hrs.

Just looked at this section MEMBERS' BUSINESSES & SERVICES

That hacker defaced page is on Ayao's website. not this one.

As above, they seem to have targeted a few Aussie sites though.
I know some people like swapping banner ads out for their affiliate links, they look the same but the site no longer gets comission and it often goes unnoticed until the earnings are way down, wonder if that has happened?

Yeah, Ayao's website has been hacked.

Hi guys
About half an hour ago I got an email from Google stating the warning has been removed. This should filter out to search results and other software that use them over the next few hours.

While I'm sure the problem wasn't at the WWF end, it would be interesting to know what hoops Steven had to jump through to get the problem rectified.
