I had exactly the same problem some years back could not get on the forum for weeks, can’t remember how I resolved the issue now.

Having the same problem with IE10. Fine on Tor Browser

[phildunford]

Not working on IE for me, but OK on chrome - not good as looks as if forum has been down for many days.

 

Like it or not many people still use IE, including old versions-  has there been an update of the forum software - if so, it's not a very friendly one...

Strangely the forum is working OK for me, using XP and firefox

[Richard H]

Nothing has changed at this end. I will try updating the forum in the hope it will fix it, failing that I will have to contact the software vendors.

Just get loads of gobbledygook on the laptop usng the latest version of Opera, but is fine on the old steam-powered PC using 7 year old IE/Opera/Firefox.

[Richard H]

The forum software providers are looking into this, it's possibly a compromised file on the server, before we patched the software to a more recent version.

This appears to be fixed now, ok for everyone who uses IE?

[dave]

yes its back to working with internet explorer for me

 

I knew there was something wrong when I first reported it

 

than you Richard !

OK with Opera 12 now too.

At last - I can now access the forum properly again!

 

I haven't been able to get on using IE for quite some while now.

 

An interesting point to note though is that as soon as I accessed main the forum page, I was prompted to run a Java applet. I chose not to do so (as it appeared suspicious) and carried on as normal.

 

As of last night, every time I access the forum my anti-virus programme informs me that it intercepted a harmful file in the network traffic and did not download it.

 

The infection name is reported as follows:

 

Exploit: Java/Majava.B

 

 

Just giving you guys the heads up as there is a lot of Java-related malware out there (which is why I keep Java disabled). So please ensure that your AV programs are up-to-date.

 

Mods - you might want to check to ensure that there are no compromised files?
