Doug,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a new 'feature' of WC, but is there any reason that the all of the links in the 'Articles, Tips, and Techniques' section are dead links?

**Yorky** · #35 06-18-2012, 02:03 PM

Which forum is this?

Doug

Doug,

It's the lower middle section on the WC homepage, with articles and tips from Artist's Magazine. On Firefox, I get a blank page, and on Opera I get the following error message:
The website does not permit its content to be displayed in a frame. It must be displayed in a separate window.

I'm guessing it's a new feature

Hmm, I rarely visit the Home page. It is merely a link to the Watercolor Artisi Magazine Profile page HERE.

It isn't really part of wetcanvas, more an advertising feature.

as of today (23rd june) i've been getting a warning from my anti-virus that there is MALWARE on wetcanvas.
am i the only one??

It appears to be an Avast problem, I get no message from AVG.

We have had three reports so far.

To be on the safe side the F+W admin has been notified.

ok thanks

oftentimes it is an ad that is to blame.

I have the same problem and went to the Avast forum.Someone had already been there and sent WC a "false positive" report.
I have all their updates, cleared cookies etc and it's still happening, whichever browser I use.

One comment I found on that forum, presumably from Avast staff:

"The problem is not with avast blocking this site. The detection is genuine. .
The problem is with the webmaster of the site and/or the hoster of that domain for not cleansing the site from malcode that avast detects.
Furthermore the vbulletin software on that site was not updated leaving it open to vulnerablities that could lead to malcode injections.
So you should not try to circumvent an appropriate avast blocking of a site, but rather inform the webmaster of that site he has serious security issues."
Funny is that we get a lot of reactions like this. Avast detects malcode on a site and then users ask: "What can avast do about this?". Not a lot.

nougat · #42 06-23-2012, 11:37 AM

so if the detection is real, and avast blocks it for those who use avast...i would imagine that those whose anti-virus does NOT warn and block, are in danger or being infected.

**Yorky** · #43 06-23-2012, 12:42 PM

Thanks for that, I'll report it to F+W.

I am wondering if any of you had problems using Google Crome as web browser on WC? I had some problems logging in to WC, and the problem with uploading images still comes and goes?

Marianne

I use chrome from time to time with no problems. Let's test the uploader with Chrome:

No problems but I notice the default file type in the uploader box is .gif so you have to change it to .jpg to find your pictures.
