I will have to check on Twitter login. Never used it myself. May be we need to do an api change or something.,

Thanks!

Does most online change or not? I think its the same since I joined 2n1/2 years back, 8554.

And this? Not exactly an issue, just curious, wondering why I never wondered before...

I do believe that was the peak of forum visitor traffic we ever had at any one moment. I forget when it was. Red Wedding maybe? Until we surpass it, that remains as is.

Oh I misunderstood the most online thing, took it to mean number of frequent visitors, not the peak number of visitors ever. Sorry, my bad. Thank you.

My computer started throwing up security warning notifications when I'm on the forum: "Web Attack: Webpulse Bad Reputation Domain Request detected".

It happens about every 30 seconds, so I've turned off the notifications. But of course that doesn't mean the computer isn't constantly logging these so called "web attacks".

I suspect it's just something to do with an ad server that may have served malware at some point and got listed. Is this using Norton, Symantec, or McCaffee, or some other antivirus of that sort?

ETA: If possible, could you go into the antivirus logs and see if it provides the URL that caused the trigger?

It's Symantec. In the client management security log there were multiple intrusion events yesterday with this URL given as the intrusion-URL URL:  http://h.parrable.com

Good, that's who we thought was the issue. We have removed them from our scripting and I think the problem should be resolved now.

I turned the security notifications back on about half an hour ago and not had any alerts pop up. So problem seems to be fixed.

For whatever reason, I'm never able to reply using Firefox. It just gets stuck submitting.

I would suggest deleting your cache and also all cookies listed as being part of *.westeros.org. Then shut down the browser and open it again.

Tried that before. Didn't work.

Huh. Tested on Firefox and seeing the same issue. Is this recent behavior? I wonder if it's a Firefox issue, because we havent' really changed anything in awhile.

I've been having this issue for well over a year so it isn't recent.

So, I'm not using Firefox and it seems to be working again. Is that the case for you? Otherwise, I think a tweak I did may be the cause. It may be Firefox has excessively tight content blocking and you'll have to change some settings for now until I figure out if there's a patch for the forum that deals with the issue on our side.

When I use Chrome on my phone or Vivaldi on my laptop I have no issues.

Yes, I think it's Firefox specific. I'm able to use it now without a problem, and what I did was Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Custom: Turned all off except Cryptominers. You maybe able to experiment with Cookies , Tracking Content, and Fingerprinters to see which things can be blocked and which  can't. Then I restarted and it seemed to work for posting.
