I received a huge red warning that this forum is a "deceptive site" and will try to steal your identity, etc. Apparently this is some new deal that Google is implementing to "protect their users". some info here https://aw-snap.info/articles/phishing.php

Apparently using ads can cause this - probably unless it is a Google ad???

Somehow I think Google is the real problem, they seem to track me (phone) everywhere. I guess this is just an expansion on them controlling our lives?

I am using Firefox (if that would make a difference). I think a lot of people will curb browsing if everything is made to look suspicious!

I was just on the phone with Shaggy, he's the guy who pays the bills here. He said if you get this warning, go into it and find the section that reports this site is not a pishing site. someone is the last couple of days linked us to a phising site and we're guilty by association.

i learned one thing a long time ago. You can't make everyone happy. As long as it appeals to most, that is the best I can achieve. The bullies....I just get to deal with them one by one. Just like in real life.

Does the same thing under Safari as well. Reported as good then turn off the warning. Annoying.

Maybe it's true (deceptive)... joined here years ago hoping for a chip to give my truck 500 hp and still waiting.

Thanks guys for reporting it as a good site. I don't understand google sometimes. I wish they would let me know what part of the site they think is despetive?
