    Issue - Security Error Prompt in Google Chrome

    I received the attached security prompt when i was trying to access this thread.

    I have received similar prompts in recent days on other threads as well. Have other members come across this as well?

    Re: Issue - Security Error Prompt in Google Chrome

    If you look at the threads in the Suggestions for Improvement and the Water Cooler forums, you'll find at least four (4) other threads about the issue.

    The Administrators are aware of the problem(s) and have, apparently, informed the Technical Team. So, don't hold your breath waiting for it to be properly cleaned up as they just keep coming back and saying it's fixed ... and it isn't.

    I get a warning from Kaspersky for every single thread that I open. That takes the focus off the web page so I have to re-select it in order to page through it. And the Canned Replies functionality is not available (you may not be able to see that, so it may not be an issue for you) as that page is corrupted.

    So, yes, other people are experiencing the issue.

    Yes,

    I've been getting them too. Haven't been able to determine what event or series of actions causes it nor indeed whether it's the same events each time.

    I believe it's associated with either the sites certificate not meeting Chrome's security standards, or indeed as the message says the forum has some malware on the site which is attempting to open a web page that is nothing to do with the forum.

    There are scripts embedded in some pages trying to redirect to a malware site.

    As Rory says, the site is riddled, may be best avoided for the foreseeable until the issues are fixed
