    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    I had to re-sign in yesterday. Seems all good now, not getting that red warning screen.

    I've located about 3 issues and that is one of them. Hopefully we can get that addressed soon. When you perform an upgrade to the system (moving to a different version) add ons like the like/thank options can be difficult to reinstall properly because they are not really part of vBulletin.
    We should be able to get it fixed though

    It's got me stumped for now.

    My home desktop, running Windows 7, wont have any bar of Woof via Chrome or Firefox, with Avast AV; With Woof.net.au exceptions added in so many places.

    Yet my laptop, running the same OS (Windows 7), via Chrome, with McAfee AV, with no Woof exceptions added, has no problem accessing Woof.

    I'm thinking it must be some difference with a setting I have between the two OR with the treatment of the different AV packages.

    Sorry if this is too obvious, have you cleared your history and cache?

    Thanks BD. - Yep - all cache and history cleared (numerous times); even cleaned up and rebuilt the Windows registry in an act of desperation :-). My hunch is that my issue maybe related to the AV (Avast) no longer liking Woof because if I turn off all the AV shields Chrome now lets me through. I've added a number of URL related exceptions in the AV settings but something else is blocking Woof when all the AV shields are on.

    Re: Bad News

    Doc, it's interesting that you are experiencing those issues. I'll ask what might be causing it.

    I've had a few friends check from various devices and places and they haven't reported anything blocking them. I've also used 3 browsers myself including Chrome which was the biggest issue and it's been clear since Tuesday morning.

    So far I have located the Like and Thanks option as not working, my avatar doesn't work on the homepage except where I have posted or responded to a thread and the new post count numbers on the homepage doesn't work even after I have read threads and posts. ie if I log on and have 50 new messages after I have read 20 it's still shows as 50 unread.

    To answer Topdog, Some of the fixes to get the site working again have included upgrading vBulletin, adding some security patches and I think most importantly adding an SSL certificate (Secure Sockets Layer) which is a secure encrypting link that protects the site and server and also potentially protects the site members

    Google had cracked down on sites like this not using an SSL.

    Some more bugs to iron out but I'm very hopeful we are over the worst of it.

    Feel free to contact me via a private message or add your findings here.

    One thing to look out for is that the location address now is https://www.woof.net.au/forum
    The S means that the SSL certificate is in place.

    It's a long shot but perhaps Doc is using the old shortcut to the site. Might be worth checking Doc

    GvGjr, thanks for your detailed reply.

    Not sure what might've changed but all good for me now with my desktop working with Avast AV and Chrome.

    I had sent Avast a request to remove the block. Whether that worked I don't know.

    Thanks for all your work on this.

    Did you load the site the same way? going to https://www.woof.net.au as opposed to the old http://www.woof.net.au may have made the difference

    It's not good to have a http site where secure information is transmitted e.g. passwords as it is easy for people to intercept the data transmitted between your computer and the site and obtain your passwords and other sensitive information

    Google and others moved to start warning and blocking users of those sites recently. Avast seems to have gone with a hard block, hujsh reported the same thing in post 36. It may have been added to your blocked sites list, you may have had the site bookmarked as http even after it moved to https, or you may have been loading the page from the browser cache so as not to pick up on the change

    Thanks for that explanation BoyDogs.

    I think most browsers allow users to whitelist sites. That might also be an option for people
