What is wrong with the site? (Please read updated post #1)

Toots

Same here, couldn't get on using laptop or phone. All other sites were fine, and I even rebooted my router but still the same.

When I go to load boards (and no other site) I get redireceted via skimresources. That's a malware, but every scan on my end shows up as clean. Is it possible it's on Boards end?

Who said they were Malware?

Thinking about it though I suppose you could call them a spyware. Ive read a few papers in the last few years on how easy it is to de-anonymise data.

You can't (or couldn't) opt out either despite what that link says, there's a process at the other end that either won't complete or if it does it doesn't actually do anything. This was mentioned on thread but nothing ever came of it. That put them on my sh1t list so now I won't click any altered links...unless by mistake.

I just done a quick google and anything I found shows it up as malware.

I think it does that every two weeks as a security thing

Skimlinks is not Malware - I have no idea what you're looking at that says it is.

ok, well that's incorrect - the second answer on that list gives the actual explanation and doesn't mention Malware anywhere.

Up and down the last couple hours for me, down more than up actually.

You know they should have called that movie 'Dav's Day on' because he was SO ON that day!

Every website working for me via my wi fi except boards. Have cleared cache and reset router all to no avail. Site keeps timing out.... Any idea why this might be so??

It's beyond pathetic at this stage.

Welcome to Boards.

Checking it out on our end here, it only seems to be happening to a small number of users today. Will get back to you as soon as we know anything.

I'm having the same problem as the people above. The site simply times out, I had to download this sites app to type this post. It's the only site I'm having trouble with. It started a little over a day ago.

ISP specific perhaps? No issues for me today, flying along.
