i just opened AZB and my computer turned a bright red warning me of malware from photobucket on the links to this site. careful not to open random pics.
 
This is the first I have heard of this issue. Anyone else experiencing it?

When I am researching dates, names, times, I use AzBilliards Discussion Forum as a reference source for things I have previously written, as well as others.

The search engine on AzBilliards Discussion Forum only allows you to search for words that are more than four letters.

Since AzBilliards Discussion Forum is cached on the Internet, I go to Google and search for several keywords, like this: "AzBilliards Forum JAM Tom."

Google will provide several links to AzBilliards Discussion Forum for me to click. If I had searched for "Tom" on Azbilliards Discussion Forum search feature, I would have gotten an error message.

When I click on the Google-provided linkes, if the thread is from older posts, say, from 2003 to 2005, I get a warning message to be sure I know the origin of the website before I click -- or words to that effect. I click it anyway, though. Nothing happens.

If I come across one, I will take a Print Screen and put it in this thread.

This has never happened to me. What browser do you use, and what virus protection do you have? I have Norton and use Chrome.

That error is because it is pulling up an https page and Google wants you to be aware of the SSL mismatch. If you loaded the same page with http:// instead of https://, you would get no error

I'm just clicking the link that Google gives me that Google has cached. :)

I've been on AZ for 8 years and never had that experience, on links, pics, or anything else. I've used various anti-virus/malware programs, currently using Comodo Dragon browser, Microsoft Security Essentials, and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium.
