Phony phishing promising $1,000 Amazon gift card is keeping me from posting via Explorer. Anyone else having this problem or is some idiot unhappy that someone with intelligence is posting on this board? I had to go to Chrome to bypass the phishing that won't let me get beyond 5 seconds on this board.

You need to run software on your computer because you likely have some type of issue with Explorer. Adware and Malware isn't the easiest thing to get rid of once you've picked it up. What you're seeing is our normal ads triggering issues on your end but it's not actually anything rogue on our side.

It’s not fake. I just wired $899 to Nigeria to cover taxes and processing fees and am expecting my $1000 check via USPS by Wednesday.

Easy money.

Deleting history and cookies will often fix this problem.

A ‘system restore’ is fairly easy and almost always cures these issues too.

You moron.... it’s not the site or its owners

You are running a terribly vulnerable browser on what I can only assume to be a massively infected OS

You should have been using Chrome 5 years ago

After posting about the problem, and letting everyone know it was tied to my attempts to get on this forum ONLY, I went away for my 85th birthday party. 6 hours later I come home without doing anything and everything is back to normal, except that I had to sign in instead of automatic click-in. So all is well again. Thanks for your concern. I appreciate it.

This is the same guy who got locked out of his account here because he couldn’t remember his password, then ran Vernon’s name through the mud on his competitor’s website about it, accusing Vernon of sabotage on his account

Zero respect

Boy, talk about fake news. I NEVER accused Vernon of sabotaging my account. I only told him that I had trouble signing on under Cuyahoga Falls Eers. Man, you sure do go out in left field because you're unhappy that I don't kiss your feet. Let's talk Mountaineer football instead. Nobody wants to read pissing matches between posters.

You were on Scout telling that whole board to expect all the Rivals folks to come there due to poor ownership here....


You trashed this site and swore it off...... until it was clear that you were victim of user error...
