    This should be something the mods/admins should look into. I was about to look at the "Photos That Shook the World" in Cool Vids and Pics when I received the following Malware warning.

    Just thought you should know. I just checked it again and it gave me the same warning - I'm using Google Chrome.

    I think we'll probably need to enforce a whitelist of remote image hosting sites that people can link images from.

    It'll have to be interfaced up properly (the image just not showing isn't really a useful experience) but this is only going to happen more frequently. Should have the bonus side effect of image threads not becoming a useless series of blank posts full of thanks after a few months.

    Hey ross, can you whitelist imageshack for boards please, so many threads are full of domain not enabled posts.

    thanks.
