This is the Whine and totally different from the rest of the forum as are my posts (mostly), I have created several threads such as Astronomy, Nature, Palaeontology and Archaeology which I put a lot into.
Hardly anyone reads them but I hope those that do enjoy it...
Those threads should be put in a publicly accessible part of CM.
Which makes me think of a more general question; why would anyone join CM if they don't know what it is about. As it stands it seems that CM is just a forum for people who already know each other from elsewhere. There is no clue from the name CM what it is about. The name sounds like someone's blog title.
There's that word...'should'...again. You want to read the rest of this forum, then try joining. No proxies. No mobiles phones. Then you'll have earned your right to comment with an equal voice and read the rest of the forum.
Right. I want to know why there is an error message about stealing information. I mentioned this before. You seem to have no idea why people are using proxy servers on your site.
Fwiw I only know very little about posters , just the gossiping of the few weeks but there is a difference between having an equal voice and being spoken to like a human being. Two messages on DS told me this place was created for a reason I can see is not true so I am aware not all the gossip is accurate.
What do you mean, 'stealing information'? What error message? I have no idea what you're talking about.
Nobody really cares what DS members say about this place. Or anyone else for that matter. It's a chat forum. Nothing more sinister.
It says the site is not safe and may be ..stealing information! It then offers you to ' go back to safety' or advanced options which is to give the name of the site I assume. You can go right ahead and click on the site without your proxy but my service provider advises it's a dangerous site and I'm too cowardly!
If you live in the UK you must of seen this message. It comes up after clicking 'whine' . I have no problems quoting the entire page to you if you doubt it , I'm afraid I won't be uploading it as an attachment.
It does give an unfair impression of your platform.
You do realise that is a common occurrence when you're using a proxy!

Hopefully those with 'error' messages don't have the FBI on their tail.

What a lot of people don't realise is that using a free proxy is pretty dangerous from a security point of view. Free VPN's can log and keep track of all your content, your IP address and the types of sites you visit. You'll also get slow browsing speed, unstable connections, data usage caps, and outdated encryption...hence the error messages. Even paid VPN's display that error message from time to time.
Makes me laugh when these idiots affect a caring attitude about the security of CM. Sort your fucking VPN out, you clowns!

A proxy just forwards your internet traffic without encrypting it. All your personal data can be read. That means you run the risk of having your private info sent over the unsecured connection captured and kept by the operator who can then do whatever they want with it – often by selling it to third parties or stealing your identity. You're a bit of a tit if you use one.

I have never seen a warning message when trying to log in.
I have never used a proxy ip either, in fact, I honestly would not know how to go about getting one.
If I thought I needed to hide my true ip I wouldn't bother to post in the first place.

And I smile to myself when people dont believe that you cant see on Dogs because your ip is bocked.
If mine was I wouldn't be able to read it either, I would not have a clue about trying to get VPN.....I dont even know what they are.

Most forums insist on a valid ip address before they'll let you join, the only one that allowed you to join with a proxy was BF and we all saw what happened on there.
A few folk tried to join Dogs using a proxy and that was usually because they were a banned member trying to sneak on again.
There was even a banned member who joined up on his holidays, so his ip would be valid but different from his usual one.
I think Phil had rejoined a dozen times when I was Admin, gave himself away once by playing Boy George in the music thread.

It was brought up ages ago. . If that error code pops up there is a way to stop it but it's not a pants wetting experience anyway. Les and Budgie said it was harmless.
I never used to use any sort of security until my credit card was nicked and some twat spent three hundred quid online on the biggest load of crap. So yea now I do pay monthly for security and vpn, seven quid is not much to pay for peace of mind. I think it causes lags but wouldn't be without it everyone's different.

I suppose if you have had a bad experience once it makes you wary.
I hope the ccc refunded your money.

Dr I swear that sounds like my gcse English writing essay !!
That is the 1 thing I like about CM , you always agree with each other and look out for each other , on dogs the bickering between members gets stale after a while. It might burn people who are insecure and it can look like a display of the online mutual back clapping society ( I joke ) but it's nice to see ppl who genuinely like and agree with each other. I think Admin does a fair job here.

I too have gotten the "error" messages but did not note the "stealing" message, hence the use of a VPN. I'm no expert but it could be someone is trying to hack the site, alter posts, just supposition on my part. I'd contact the web hosts if I was you.
Nobody else has that problem. Odd only you 'too' get it.
I get it 'too', without using a VPN. Screenshot attached as proof, if you'll approve it of course.

All I can say is I have never seen that message, could it be the browser you are using? I never use Chrome.

I just googled and it does seem to be an error with Chrome, there are details on how to stop it.
