    I do not visit that site, so cannot say
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Re: ExcelFox Warning

    Thanks gentlemen.
    I had the same warning on one of the other sites a few months ago but that was solved after a while.
    I guess I just stay away from it until such a time that it is safe again

    Thanks and Regards

    Excel Fox Excel Help Forum

    I noticed it about a week ago, and informed the Admin there, and a few other members there, and referrenced a few of the Threads from here where the problem was discussed....
    _ Had no response.
    _ I only get the warning in Google Chrome. It sounds like they are in for what we had here.
    _ I was there just now for an hour or so and yesterday and over the weekend. Problem is still there.
    _ The last few Day's only me and one other were there

    _ You can still get in, just as you could here, either in other browsers or in Google Chrome by clicking on the Detail , then agreeing to visit despite the warning.

    I use the old soon to be scraped computer that i used here when we had the problems to be on the safe side.

    Excel Fox is an Excel Help Forum, similar in form to MrExcel ExcelForum Ozgrid. It uses a similar Software, vBulletin® ( Version 4.2.2 )
    Excel Programming is usually dealt with there in the Excel Help Sub Forum

    Re: Excel Fox Excel Help Forum

    The warning is still there
    But if you by pass and go in anyway they say they are upgrading from vBulletin 4.2.2 to vBulletin 4.2.3. But they say they should have been finished a few hours ago !!!!!

    Maybe that was their attempt to get rid of thhe viruses ??

    Re: ExcelFox Warning

    The Excel Fox seems "gone " Today, - oh dear, I had some nice "Blogs" there

    Maybe we should not have been so critical when we were hit. I mean we are still here!!!
    But who knows what / who are behind these things. ......

    After a while you get an instinct here on how to deal / workaround these "characteristics" of Excel Forum Lol .. In the meantime I think most are work aroundable.
    The duplicates and long time loading seems to be work aroundable if after posting you open a new tab and go "back to" the Thread a fresh. Then what you posted is often there, once, and you do not have to wait ages while the original tab is loading, and risk unintentionally posting twice .
    Once you see your post then just close the original Tab that often is still “apparently” “ loading” ( Maybe it is doing something nasty, and as a by product posts again along the way ! ; ) )

    Re: ExcelFox Warning

    Alan, I had reported this to the TT, they said they were working on - seems a lot better now

    What I do when I see it it taking ages to post, is copy what I typed, so I dont lose it, then hit F5. Often my post is there - sometimes twice - but if it is not, I just paste and try again

    Thanks

    @3xe1 , cytop
    I get in now with Google Chrome without getting any warning.

    I noticed one thing.

    They have taken off the https:// and generally change all the links to their site.
    So if you ever passed any URL links to posts there, then they are useless now

    maybe that was part of their attempt to get rid of the viruses....

    Hi Orrin,
    My trend is to ........


    Anyways Rick Rothstein, a prominent Member there let me know this evening the Admin there had told him they had removed something causing the phishing error with Google search engine. I think a by product was the broken links I noticed. Rick was told they are trying to do something about that.
    So I guess they are “fighting the virus thing or whatever..”

    Good to know it may still have problems. Thanks

    Re: ExcelFox Warning

    I get in without the warning with IE9 and IE 11, ( as was the case the last time ) but Google, Firefox was allways a good indication of "Fishy stuff" , . Google still gives me the Big Red Warning. I dropped a note off there to them ( by using IE 9 )...
    But i was not planing to go there too much just now, so no big problem. Just mentioned it in Passing

    Danke sehr Alan. Thanks Alan.
    It must have just been resolved because a couple of days ago it still came up with a warning.
    I'll try later on today.
