Still getting this message on the computer. Barely come to this site anymore.
Use a proxy?

No one is running this show anymore.
so, is this just something we're going to have to deal with in perpetuity?
Good thing I have a smartphone, or I'd never be on here again.
I'm getting it on my phone now. Real PIA. It's kept me from checking in as often
Bump..
Fixed?
It's probably due to something someone has in their signature. I think it was fixed once a while back, but returned quickly.
Kori Ellis sighting! I miss you guys!
to repeat, at least Chrome will mark a site "dangerous" for using cleartext HTTP rather than encrypted HTTPS
Must be the unnamed poster with the Kyle Anderson gifs in their sig. A player that bad shouldn't have gifs.
lol..now it's back..
so it could be a bunch of thingsThe URL http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/ is flagged SOCIAL_ENGINEERING by Google.
NOTE: This URL is currently flagged by Google under the category Social Engineering (Phishing and Deceptive Sites) REF: Google Security. At this point Google has not provided a lot of guidance/information on how to determine whether the site is flagged for "traditional Phishing" OR as a Deceptive Site OR a HTTP URL that is collecting passwords. Cleaning up the site and getting the warning removed is very diffrent depending on why Google is flagging the site so, recommend you take a look at the ref Remove a phishing or web forgery warning linked below.
When Kori was here every day this wouldn't happen
Don't get the warning on mobile, only on desktop. Shouldn't there be a way to whitelist a website on chrome?
In Chrome Privacy settings I turned off "Protect you and your device from dangerous sites" and now I don't get the warning anymore. It's a useless feature that I've never found actually protected me from a dangerous site, it was always just blocking me from sites I wanted to visit anyway.
Whether you choose to disable it or not, I'd recommend ublock for stopping dangerous scripts and pop ups.
thanks, this worked. finally
I use chrome 99% of the time, so I turned off the warning on safari (on Mac). Safari browser now strictly for ST lol
To be clear, the problem in this case, is that this site has form data that is not secured with HTTPS. Inside chrome, if you use the developer tools, you can see that it hits a non https URL when it transmits your username and password.
This makes it trivial for someone to steal your password.
Google has an initiative to shame sites that don't use HTTPs. They will expand to all insecure sites, it sounds like, but have only started with those that allow you to enter a password insecurely.
Ultimately, the only long term solution is to purchase an SSL certificate, and configure the site to redirect users to use https://www.spurstalk.com. For the interim, you can probably get away with just encrypting the login, but then you'll run into it again with phase 2. Making the whole site encrypted is easier, generally, anyhow.
I suggest especially for this site, you use a different password than any other, given how easy it would be for an attacker to steal your login data.
Anyone getting the dreaded red sign again? It's back for me.
It's been on forever. Never gone.
Really? It went away for me a couple of months ago.
It popped up today again out of nowhere.
and we can we get rid of the 30 second downtime before posts.
In the past couple weeks it actually stopped generating the warning on fire fox. I think it has more to do with browser updates than site changes
It’s crazy how long this is going on without a fix
