I've noticed when I go to the main page of the site, it pops up as a "suspicious site" on the phishing filter. Is that an issue with the site, or something on my end? I've never had that happen before.

What browser or Anti virus is saying that?

I was getting that message at first as well, looked like a Windows warning of somekind. But I haven't noticed it of late.

It was kinda a "If you don't trust this website don't proceed" type phishing message warning about possibly having financial info stolen.

Since I've been around these boards for a bit and trust them I figured it was nothing to worry about. But it might effect new users not familiar with us I suppose.

Internet Explorer. I'm also running AVG, but the warning seems to be coming from the browser. It is only on the main page, and not the forums though.

I spoke too soon. Again, on the main page. Does it make a difference that it does not show me logged in on that page, but when I click on the forums it does?

I'm unable to duplicate the error, can you hit print screen and then paste the image into MS paint or another image program, then upload the file to imageshack.us and PM it to me? Thanks.
