    So guessing it's my company raising it's security levels rather than this site, but suddenly 'The Hornets Nest - Watford Chat' and 'The Red Helmet Inn - General Banter' is blocked.

    The former for adult content?! and the latter for gambling!

    I can access the last post/threads from those areas but not the main areas themselves!

    Whats the name of the software blocking it. Generally these issues are down to incorrect categorisation by the software provider. A little boot at them from you or me normally gets the block lifted again.

    My work's wesense has been unhappy with the site for a couple of days now. There's something in The Hornet's Nest it really doesn't like.

    Yep - Websense for me too.

    Hornets Nest now ok. Red Helmet inn still blocked.

    It's why naughty words are blocked. A lot of these sites see a word and flag the site up and it's a right pain in the harris to undo everything.

    Websense is the worst.

    I did use the word "fart" in a thread earlier. If he complains he can't see this now, I will open thread in every sub-forum mentioning farts :sign13:

    I now can't access page 5 of the Watford v Liverpool thread?

    I checked on my phone and guessing it may be the link posted by hornetgags, though it could well be Relegation Certs showing some optimism that has confused the software?

    Yeah it's the Liverpool match thread it doesn't like.

    Maybe it's the Daily Star link. There are pictures of bikini clad calendar girls as well as the Watford article

    I;vwe deleted the posts with links in to see if that helps but if it's a look up table block it'll take a day or so to unblock.
