[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 1045096, member: 1"] A few days ago one of the mods was getting the following warning from AVG: "Threat was blocked! File name tynt blah blah blah browncafe.com blah blah blah...." AVG had just updated on his computer and suddenly was generating false positives about a service we use here called tynt which is a service that automatically adds a link back to this site when someone copies and pastes our content somewhere else. 500,000 sites use it, including AVG on their own site... so go figure... Tynt is not new to this site, we've been using it for several months. 500,000 other sites like Sports Illustrated, Smithsonian and National Geographic use it too. Go to one of those sites and change pages, you'll probably get that same warning there too. The mod that was getting the false positives about tynt switched from AVG to Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows and the false positives went away. In regard to the ios issue that vantexan mentioned, when it was happening it was discussed a few times in other threads. Initially I thought it was related to a new chatroom we were testing but it turned out to be related to a glitch between ios systems and cloudflare, a security service that we use to protect this site from malicious attacks.
