When I log in now I get a message (it does go away in a few seconds) that I have been blocked by the firewall??ÿ I recently had one of those "spam" attacks telling me to download an "update".?ÿ I cleared my browser history and have been getting the message since.?ÿ Am I doing something wrong.

Thanks for any help.

Andy

I started getting a similar message this morning, Andy.?ÿ Does the message start with, "SpamFireWall is activated for your IP".

?ÿ

I also found that when I am on the Home page the recent posts do not update.?ÿ I notified Wendell about this.?ÿ I'm on a Win 7 machine with the current version of the 64-bit Firefox Quantum browser.

Hmmm, I wonder if it is the caching system on our end. I'll check it out.

Well then, it definitely was the caching system. My apologies, Gene, for initially thinking it was your ISP.
