It's different browsers, some work and some don't. The crew is working on it as fast as they can.

Like I said - Different browsers. I'm using the least favorite browser, Internet Explorer, to get in.

I'm not seeming any issues, Xp, Win7, Win10 on FF or Chrome (hate IE, don't use it) ......Strange, maybe a bit of MS-Coronavirus over there on the right side? Maybe a East Coast Host?

It was google posting the warning. I sent FB message last night and iboats responded that they were hacked. The issue has been fixed and google no longer list the warning. I didn't login until this morning, waiting for the issue to go away

Same here. Both FF and IE on both computers. I swallowed hard last night and proceeded past the warning. It looked like a typical iBoats page when it's hosed.
All good now.

My Notebook with Win 7 Pro went nuts yesterday due to Google's alerts. Did not happen same on a Desk Top PC with an XP install. Glad to read that some posters experimented same and now all is fine....

Happy Boating

I'm posting this using Firefox on W10 Pro.

Try clearing your DNS cache. Open a CMD window and enter "ipconfig /flushdns" without the "s.

I can hit on Firefox from the Mac too. I've been able to get to the forums on Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge (Mac and Windows on Chrome and Firefox, and respectively on Safari and Edge).
