gunsguy Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) Its mostly a false warning. Because some idiot sometime in the past posted a piece of malware on that site its flagging every single thing on that site, including images.Chrome is being over protective regarding the site. On Firefox I do not see an error of any kind and I have tested the site:Mygnrforum: Detections 0/24 (0.00%) Status CLEAN freeimagehosting.net: Detections 1/29 (3.45%) Status DETECTED It is a false positive. Having said that if the browser is blocking out content we should remove the offending image and rehost someplace else. Or attempt ban on host.This is new this week and we are not the only forum having this problem:https://www.google.c...lient=firefox-aas you can see alot of forums are having this issueUser: nicorourke post#16 http://www.mygnrforu...15#entry3306284 in that thread the sig is the problem, rehost it somewhere else (I have rehosted here). If a mod can delete his sig and put this one in placehttp://img846.imageshack.us/img846/7309/46r7o.jpgthe thread will be clean of this error/ Edited December 26, 2012 by gunsguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Cheers, I've replaced it with an Imgur link.Can't recommend an easier, more reliable image host than Imgur kids! Get on the bandwagon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get on the bandwagon!Also has false positive, Chrome may hickup this in future, every site has detections though just 1 is normal. In fact I can't find one without 1 detection LOLAll it takes is for one image to be infected and the site is considered unsafe. For now thanks for changing the image and making the forum clean imgur.com Detections 1/19 (5.26%) Status DETECTED Edited December 26, 2012 by gunsguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
