Thanks for posting. I’ve seen several freepers running into this today.

Is this something that could be done deliberately from outside? I’m not tech savvy.

Absolutely no problems here. Running Opera on a Linux OS and really have no idea what you are going on about.

I’m not getting any such warning. Are you sure it’s not an infection on your machine? Pinging to all lists.

I've noticed for years that if you click a link from the main Forum page you go directly to the source site. If you click the link in the article page you go to the FR redirect page and then to the site you wanted. Maybe FR’s redirect page is the problem.

More likely the problem is on your computer than a general bug in FR. Occam’s Razor. Virus scan your computer, pronto.

I have FR bookmarked in my menu bar, specifically the index page (latest articles).

When I’ve been clicking on that today, it brings me to latest posts, not the latest articles.

Weird.

FreeRepublic was reported by somebody as an attack site. If you have attack sites blocked, it won’t go to the links directly. This is a problem on their end.

I think they fixed it. It’s not doing it anymore when you click on the source to the articles.

No malware, but FR pages loading very slowly the past couple days. All other sites are fine. What gives?

Many websites are converting to a ‘mobile friendly’ format.

Some of the scripting and links/features are playing havoc with regular computer browsers.

Many links and videos will open/play in one browser (Chrome) but not in another browser (Firefox).

Whoever came up with the idea of ‘tiles’ should be executed — don’t even wait for sunrise.

I haven't seen this. I'm using Firefox on Windows 7. I have seen that type of warning on other sites but never here.
