forky123 Posted August 13, 2023 Posted August 13, 2023 Getting this warning on pretty much every menu and sub-menu on the site. Anyone else getting it? Quote

reader Posted August 13, 2023 Posted August 13, 2023 You should have "https://www.gayguides.com/forums/" in your browser window. An "s" (for secure) should appear after "http". TMax and forky123 2 Quote

Of the web sites I frequent, this is the only site that gives these warnings. My AV is not picking anything up and if it were simply a pop up phishing exped I'd ignore it. The "dangerou" marking is part of edge though. Not sure why it's being picked up but it is annoying as I get the warning on every page within this site. Mavica 1 Quote

macaroni21 Posted August 13, 2023 Posted August 13, 2023 I got the same warning when I tried to access via my laptop with Microsoft Edge. Now accessing via Chrome on my phone, no problem. TMax, forky123 and Mavica 3 Quote
forrestreid Posted August 13, 2023 Posted August 13, 2023 I am getting the same thing. It is only happening for this site, on Edge. It is most annoying. Perhaps management can check if they have all their certs up to date? forky123 1 Quote

Mavica Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 Ok. I responded earlier today using my cellphone or my iPad and didn't receive the warning. I returned home this evening and logged-on using Microsoft and the warning appeared - only for the forums section. I'm using Microsoft Edge on my laptop in the USA. I used Safari on my iPad. At the Gay guides home page, no warning appears. There is a place on the warning I received (More Information) to say the website isn't a scam, and I followed the instructions. Others should do the same. Someone or something has, IMO, reported the site as a scam and that's probably why the warnings appear. TotallyOz, forky123 and TMax 2 1 Quote
PeterRS Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 I use Safari on all devices and have never seen any warnings. forky123, Mavica, numerito and 1 other 4 Quote

I've been using Edge on my surface since I bought it 6 months ago and, in that time, I've never had that warning until yesterday so this is something fairly new. I also early yesterday filled in the "Not a scam" section though not sure what good it will do. KeepItReal, Mavica and reader 3 Quote
