ah rite - cheers Rik - I'll have a look

I also recommend McAfee Site Advisor if you don't already use it.

Thanks Rik, downloaded that..Cheers.

It thinks Letchworth is in Bedfordshire, oh well nuffin's perfekt 

[Rik]

I'm amazed it got that close.

[Sebby]

And did it?

It did.

[Rik]

Good to know.

Cheers Rik - got that. I'm tipping I can copy the FEBE cgf file to a flash drive to put straight on my lappy and work computer?

[Rik]

Should be fine.

[madasahatter]

Thanks for all your help Rik 

Edit: weird - with the siteadvisor enabled, if I click on the IDNetters Forum link at the top of the boards nothing happens, yet if I click the firefox home button (this is my home site) everything is fine. Before installing this, and if I disable it everything was/is fine - any ideas?

Edit again - clicking the home link right at the top of the IDNetters page doesn't work either - curiouser and curiouser....

Thanks for all your help Rik 

Agreed Mad,  it does deserve a Karma .. 

[Rik]

Thanks guys.

Further to the above, with site advisor enabled none of the "you are here" links work except the immediate section I am in eg technical discussion.

[Rik]

Sorry, Mad, what 'you are here' links?

[madasahatter]

Sorry Rik - popped out for a bit to play with me organ  .

The ones just underneath the big blue rectangle at the top of the screen. When you go to look at a post, it says eg:

you are here: IDNetters Forums » Technical Discussion » Computer Discussion » Post reply ( Re: New tabs in Firefox )

the first three on there are links, yet only the computer discussion (ie the last) one will work after installing siteadvisor - if I disable it, everythings as it always was. Cancel that - it doesn't even work if I disable it now 

[Rik]

It works fine for me, Mad.

You do mean the bit I've highlighted?

[attachment deleted by admin]

[madasahatter]

Yes - that's the one Rik.

I've uninstalled siteadvisor just to make sure that it was that causing the problem, and sure enough, no probs anymore

[Rik]

How odd. I've got SA on all three machines and I've never had an issue with it. Did you check your settings in it before removal? One other thing you could try is adding the site to the 'do not warn' list.

[madasahatter]

Yeah, I messed around with the settings, but to no avail. Never thought to add it to the "do not warn" list as the site itself was coming up, and some links were working. Could just have been a dodgy install I suppose - always possible. Might try it again at a later date

[Rik]

I don't have it in the don't warn box, Mad, and I've used the SA since before McAfee took it over with no problems at all. It's particularly handy when you Google, as it will warn of risky sites in the results page.

[madasahatter]

Yeah - it does look like a really good thing to have - maybe it just doesn't like hoobs - especially green ones 

[Rik]

It goes green for good sites, that can't be the case.

[madasahatter]

Yeah that's true - it was definitely showing green for idnetters, and when I looked up the site details on there it said it was fine, so just can't understand it. Like I say - might try it again later in case it was just a dodgy install or something.

[Rik]

It's not an 'active' program, in the sense of AV or firewall, it just warns you - so it really shouldn't be blocking a link at all.

[madasahatter]

you know that.... and I know that..... but obviously IT didn't know that
