Just want to notify everyone of problems I am having and hope it is fixed soon.....

Last few days I have found the board to be "acting funny" in my opinion.....then last night on my laptop, my virus protection advised that quilting board was not secure.....today I am able to view the board (at work) but I am not able to pull up websites to view fabric....so something is up! I have 2 different virus protections so something is definately wrong somewhere....for the two to notify me...

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up!

I have not had any problems and my virus protection is up to date. What kind of virus did it say?

One protection said "We do not feel that this site is secure and recommend you do not continue" Another said (while I was trying to connect to a fabric site recommended from this board)...."this site has a security problem "(something to that nature)........ Both notices are connected to this board, that is why I am concerned.....

Is it possible that you have an invasion by someone trying to scare you into buying their product---www.protectionracket.bogus---
and it is they who are disrupting your computer? Find someone who knows more about computers than suspicious ol' Green Heron.

Neither of my security programs have noticed anything, but I would recommend you contact a moderator.
