    Default Soonews forums

    I was just about to log onto the soonews forums to see whats happening over there and got a message saying the site contains malware and is unsafe.. Is anybody else getting this message, or is it just me?

    Hmm.. That's weird. It was a warning from Google, but I still went to the site without incident.

    everything checks out fine on the site - don't now if it's just your computer or what?

    the security certificate expired, therefore your browser has deemed it unsafe.

    I have a hard time watching videos on Soonews. Any one else have that trouble?

    that's why - the video is encoded for playback for highspeed users. It will still work for slower connections, you just have to be patient to let it buffer enough.

    if you want to watch it, start playing it and then pause it and let it sit for a minute then try again, it will give it more time to load

    Hey Peety, are you on Shaw by any chance? I have noticed in the last few weeks that Shaw customers might be experiencing some lag on the video - not sure if Shaw is limiting bandwidth in the city or not - but I have been told that. That would explain the stop and go video for lighspeed and even some highspeed customers. But yes, as blue said, if you pause it for a while it should work okay for you.

    Are the concerned kid and Belsito still there? If not I would go back there and never return here again. Sorry guys.

    The fact that I would be gone would be enough. Of course I will always have time to do 70 up his street.

    My Shaw is fast as ever. No problems here at all!
    When I make up a lie and can not back out of it, I will just say I am leaving town for a funeral and that should cover up the lie.
    Self-laudation abounds among the unpolished; but nothing can stamp a person more sharply as ill-bred.
