When I tried to log onto the forum today, my web security program (Bitedefender) popped up with a warning that the URL was "unsafe".  First time that ever happened.  Not sure if something changed on the forum or if something changed on Bitedefender, but thought I would let y'all know in case something needs to be done. 

Ride on!!

Nothing has changed with the website and I haven't received any warnings from the various security apps and services that protect us. One of the tests that I rely on when these kinds of things pop up is "are you the only one?" If you are the only one who has seen this or is experiencing the issue then it is some kind of one time thing or a local issue with your computer or network. Many people here are very cognizant of issues and changes and they are not bashful about contacting me. So unless I get some other warning from the server I generally wait a day or two and see if anyone else complains about something.

No problem.

Well, apparently it was just a "glitch".  It hasn't happened since.  I always stay logged in, so I guess I wasn't clear in my original comment.  That day, when I opened the forum, I got the "unsafe" warning.  But that was the only time.  It was worked as normal since then.  Computers..... LOL

Ride on!!
