Hi, for the last couple of days when I log on to Gransnet, the bar at the top shows in red and is saying I am on an unsafe website. Any ideas why this could be ?

TIA.

Morning! We'll take a look. What browser are you using please?

KatGransnet (GNHQ) Thu 21-Jan-16 09:10:55

Oo-err...I've not had that. We'll let tech know.

Can you tell us what browser you're using?

KatGransnet (GNHQ) Thu 21-Jan-16 09:11:24

Opps...Lara beat me to it! grin

There's nothing untoward on mine. I'm on Chrome.

NanaandGrampy Thu 21-Jan-16 09:36:28

Yes mine is fine . I'm on Chrome too and have Norton safety and nothing is showing untoward .

Those who are having issues, if you're able to tell us what browser you're using and if you could take a screenshot (either post on this thread or email us - [email protected]) we'll forward it onto our tech team.

"take a screenshot" she says nonchalantly. "WTF?!" say grannies around the UK. (including this one)

I am not having the issue. I am on Firefox before 10 am and Chrome thereafter. smile

MiniMouse Thu 21-Jan-16 10:49:43

jingl May I ask why you switch from Firefox to Chrome? Is there some clever techie reason that I haven't got a clue about? I'm always the last to cotton on to some clever tactic sad wink

If you're using a tablet, jingles, wipe the side of your hand across the screen fron right to left. You'll heard a sort of click, and you'll find the screenshot in downloads ( I think)

I'm using chrome its the search bar at the top with the gransnet address it says

www.gransnet.com/forums/site_stuff/1222607-unsafe..

sorry I have forgotten how to do a screen shot on this new laptop.. must admit I've never noticed it say that before .

Ana Thu 21-Jan-16 11:04:30

Just noticed it says that on mine too, although it's not red.

My browser is Internet Explorer 11.

Ana Thu 21-Jan-16 11:05:50

Oh, silly me - it only says 'unsafe' because that's the thread I'm currently on! blush

The search bar is also the address bar (the URL of this page has 'unsafe' as it's the title of this thread). If you see the red block ginny has seen, do let us know though.

To take a screenshot, see here...

on a Mac

on an iPad or iPhone

on Windows

mnimouse this is just between you and me because it's a bit daft. I was spending too much time on GN in the mornings, so I got son to put a blocker on, to cut in at 10 o'clock. He did, but I seem to just drift onto my mini iPad which has got Chrome. (Big 'puter has Firefox)

Told you it was daft. blush nothing techie.

I don't think that works for me Badenkate. Or if it does I've got a lot of downloads somewhere now. confused

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 21-Jan-16 11:21:37

Thank you Kat.

Now can you tell me how I get I can get rid of a blocker please.

(Only joking!) smile

MiniMouse Thu 21-Jan-16 11:44:55

jingl grin grin Love it! Of course, you do know that if you slide onto your iPad to connect to GN it doesn't count, don't you? It's the same as if you eat standing up wink

Badenkate Thu 21-Jan-16 11:59:39

Hi minimouse, make sure you're using the side of your hand, so basically it's the side of your little finger and then the side of your palm. You should hear a sound like a camera shutter.

ginny Thu 21-Jan-16 13:24:12

Thanks for the replies. I use window. It is now showing unsafe but not in red.

I'll see if I can do a screenshot.
