Yup, I just got it too.

If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

Last time this was happening it did not affect me. I was travelling and accessing the forum on my android tablet. Now I am home and accessing it from my windows 7 laptop using chrome it is coming up for me too. I might just have to go and crank up the tablet again.

Quite easy to by-pass, click on Ignore Warning and report the site as safe.

`I just got it too, didn't earlier today.
Innovations are those useful things that, by dint of chance, manage to survive the stupidity and destructive tendencies inherent in human nature.

Yes Fred, you can keep reporting the site as safe, but it must be a concern to Admin that the site has come up again as unsafe.

Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
What could possibly go wrong.

GJ, I showed how to bypass the red screen, I did not imply that Admin was not concerned about this state of affairs.
A few posts back I advised that Steven has been notified and he is working on it, as he did last time this happened.
Edit:
Have just had a report that Photo Forums is now also affected by this.

I did not mean to imply that you weren't concerned about the situation, just that it must be a PITA that it has come up again. Photo Forums is working fine for me, using Firefox. Originally Posted by Big Shed

Metal forum is fine and yes I had it again this morning. Its obviously a concern for such a warning it may not be forum server based it may be its being used though through other channels much like a hacker bounces from server to server THAT is a major concern.

Oh joy the red screen is back....... It's like my attacks of gout.....it comes during times of revelry, it comes as a surprise, but not unexpectedly, it is painful, it is frustrating, and it goes away with time....
To all the members have a happy New Year and a successful 2017.

Haven't had issues with WWF, and don't use Photo forum, but Win 7/Opera has been turning up Opera's red screen for at least a fortnight with Metalwork Forums. I normally work through WWF to Market Place/Auctions then MWF via the link at the top of the Auctions page, which triggers the red screen the first time MWF is opened in an Opera session. If I repeat this process without closing the Opera session, there is no red screen, if I close and reopen Opera, it's back first time I open MWF. My issue was reported to MWF the second time it occurred, and a screen shot included, and I have commented a couple of times that it is still occuring. I was surprised to find that some threads over there reporting similar issues had been closed after 2 or 3 posts.
I used to be an engineer, I'm not an engineer any more, but on the really good days I can remember when I was.
