Firefox marked the forum as an "Attack site" [RESOLVED] - Page 4

Wavebourn · 24th December 2012, 09:31 PM

My own site once was reported as bad, after I inserted on a forum a nice picture of Atlantis hotel in Dubai. It turned out, all links to that site caused such reports. Conclusion: it is very dumb and disturbing feature that can cause loss of audience by innocent sites. Google is a great company, very innovative, but some features sucks.

Link removed, request for reconsideration submitted through Google Webmaster Tools. All we can do now is wait and hope they are working on Christmas day

This is obviously a big +1 for not allowing direct linking of images from 3rd party sites.

Yes similar message here since 9.20 a.m. AEST. It was fine prior to this.

Hrrmph! even the Smilies address is blocked......

Firefox doing it too. Getting the red "Attack Site" notices at random, not on every page.

An intel Atom powered PC reaches 100% CPU utilization while attempting to load diyaudio.com pages, and in some cases timing out due to stalling out. What recent change is making the pages more cpu intensive and/or lagging beyond TTL?

And then there's this:

Very inconvenient, though. Better to use real operation systems instead of Windows that is targeted by such links.

That won't stop the alerts though.
