I just got that, and it took me three times clicking the button that I still wanted to go to the site for it allow the page to load. First time I've seen the warning too. Weird.
I'm still getting it and now any pictures I post are small and centered, I hope this isn't some sort of update, if so I don't like it, I liked my pictures uncentered and most of my buddies do on the what happened today thread.
@EA_Mai responded several pages back that she is looking into the problem.
We know the message is still showing up - we are working on getting this fixed asap, as well as the issues to load the page on Firefox. This is far from the experience we want you to have when visiting the community.
In the meantime, all I can suggest is using a different browser than Chrome/Firefox.
I'll let you all know here as soon as I have more info to share on this, or the rest of things you have been reporting here.
Thanks everyone for the continuing sharing any updates
*dear you know what* you do know trying to fix something takes time EA folks aren't Wizards like the one my Sims 3 simself is ranting about in that series you never finished..
Same, this is happening to me too. Majorly confused.
Give our Vampires back their fangs!!! Reverse the Nerf!!! Occult simmers should not be shoved aside for the "realism players"! It's time Occult lovers/players started to demand equal treatment. #JusticeForOccults
We are still working on getting the warning removed, but I'm here to share some information about the issue on Firefox, as while it looks completely different than what you can see in Chrome the background cause is the same - the website being mistakenly flagged as unsafe. In this case, Chrome is showing a warning about some files, while Firefox is blocking the loading of those files: different browsers using the same information and handling things differently.
On Firefox, as the blocked files are the ones that tell the browser how to style the content of the website (how things should look) as well as adding some functionality, without that information the forums are showing... the way they are
So why am I telling you all this? Because as on Chrome, although not as evident, on Firefox you also have the option to let Google know this was a detection problem and tell Firefox you trust the website and want to visit it anyways.
If you want to do this, here is how (only Firefox):
Press Ctrl + Shift + C (yep, same shortcut than for cheats in The Sims! )
A new panel will open, by default on the bottom of your browser window. At the top of this new panel, click on the 'Console' tab.
Click on any of the links in the yellow messages. This will open a similar warning to the one on Chrome.
Press 'See details' for the warning, and you will see a more detailed explanation on the warning and what it means. If you click 'Ignore the risk', the file will be opened.
On the top of the page, you will see another red warning bar - if you press 'This isn't a deceptive site...', you will be able to go back to the forums tab, reload the page and it should look as usual.
You can now close the panel at the bottom of the screen (the one we opened in step 1) and the other tabs previous steps opened and use the site normally.
Keep in mind this is a temporary workaround only - closing Firefox will make it forget your choice to visit the site, and you may need to repeat these steps. But this can be an option if you want to continue using Firefox while we work on getting things back to normal.
Note: please, don't do this with websites you don't know or trust. Yes, false positives occur, but this is a security feature and we don't recommend following the above steps if you are not sure if a website is safe.
My Google Chrome has randomly decided that this forum site is dangerous. I had to do a walk-a-round to even get here.
When I typed in the site, a big red screen appeared
I've tried white-listing it, I've hit the "allow" button, but nothing works permanently. If I close the page and try to come back, it's flagged again...
Reading through the posts I have to add I saw this at one point yesterday too. Not sure if it was on Explorer or Firefox.
Thanks for posting this. This is the message I get when I try to access the forum via my Chrome browser.

I understand the virus alert is an issue and their working on it.
The pictures being small and centered seems more like something done purposely,
and that's what I was saying I hope wasn't an updated.
The only way to get these things sorted quickly is by informing the provider immediately. In previous happy days I got a free manual from Prima for being the first to report a problem with security programs, having found out the reason AVG. These days I doubt if you get anything!

When I click your link, it doesn't work. But when I type in the site manually it does

Did you uninstall avast AV by any chance?
Same for me on Firefox.
I am using Microsoft Explorer now. It displays the forum correctly.

This works for me, too, but only when I click the "visit unsafe site" twice.
