Not sure what to make of this... Is the site under attack? I bypassed the warning this time to post this, but for the last few days I've tried to get on here, I get a big red screen that says: Reported Attack Page! This web page at forums.maxima.org has been reported as an attack page and has been blocked based on your security preferences. Attack pages try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system. Some attack pages intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners. What's going on?

 

Another one?...

 

Seems to be fixed now. Sorry if I caused alarm!

 

 

its happened to me a few times these past few days, but wouldnt this get resolved if it was a problem if it was posted in the sites feedback/suggestion section?...

 

Danny posted a announcement a few days ago on it because theres a dozen threads on it, Google has cleared the warning on the site and to stop getting it, clear your cache and cookies

 

I still had this happen tonight though, and I didn't have any cache or cookies from maxima.org.

 

 

This happened to me a while back too. Just follow the links to report it as a safe site and hopefully it won't happen again :/

 

 

Guys, in all fairness...

Yes, there were apparently many posts made all over the board about this topic, but it's not like a bunch of noobs were posting asking about the location of the turn signal switch.

I don't think it's fair to expect everyone to go crawling through all 42 forums on the site looking for info and posts, particularly when the search engine is saying that there are security issues. *I* know that maxima.org is legit, however what's to say that it wasn't hacked or otherwise compromised for real?

If I may suggest -- and I realize that I'm still new around these parts so I hope I'm not out of line -- But next time this happens, could those with the authority to do so please put something in the banner (or a sticky at the top of the forum threads) saying "Click here for information about the false google alert threads" and explain to the users the situation?

Thanks
Murph

 

again, Danny had an announcement posted, and those are near the top.
