    I can access most threads and posts from my work computer but for some reason, my employer's internet filter seems to randomly filter out some posts and not others, classifying them as "GAMES"??

    Why is it only some and not others. Is there a tag that the security scans to make that determination?

    Break time at work is the only place I get to quietly peruse the site without family pestering me :)

    P.S. Even the smilies pull up gets blocked.

    Mr. Gorbachev...tear down this (fire)wall!

    At work:
    I have the exact same problem as Brutus mentioned.
    Some topics are blocked and some are not.

    At home: I use IPAD and every single time i open a topic a new window opens and asks for my ID and password and i have to ignore this window since it doesnt accept my ID and password so i touch the background screen and this window goes away, So it is really annoying to see this sign in window constantly opens.

    I've noticed that my employer's internet blocker highlights certain threads as "Games" and blocks them while others have no problem. Any clue to this dilemma? I jump on while on break but I'm at a loss as why only a few threads get blocked.

    try and find a proxy server to use when accessing the site to see if it makes any difference, there are free public ones on the net

    I'm a tad gun shy trying this at work to be honest Tre. With my luck, I'd be flagged for tampering or something and live out my days with Edward Snowden.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. The only real bummer for me is at work, on break is the only time I REALLY get to sit down and read the posts without family pulling me away for something. Is there selective tags that filters block and don't block on this new forum? I know Hoopla never had it.

    That should be fixed; it was an issue of a new Add-on I am currently installing

    I doubt there's anything at our site that causes that. I'm pretty sure that it's something related to the blocking software. but if you tell me some posts that are blocked and some that are not, I will take a look and try to realize what's the cause.

    I have a suggestion.
    When i get email notification from this site it shows the stereo2go.org address and i cannot access by clicking on the message in the email. Since the stereo2go.com will be the permanent address, Can you please change the link format on emails to .com
    Thank you
