    Question Yahoo block my assess to the Quilt Board

    I attempted to sign on the Quilting Boards using Yahoo and I was blocked...
    Big red message said unsafe site and do not sign in. Any truth to this? I usually sign on using AOL

    Did you try to access via the yahoo webpage? What browser? What antivirus program do you use? If you know how to do a screenshot, please take one of the error message, and post it here.

    I have the same issue. I have Avast anti virus and use Firefox as a browser and Yahoo for mail. Everytime I try to access Quilting Board by anti virus goes crazy and the only way I can get on is to turn off Avast for ten minutes each time.

    Are you both using a link in your email to come to the board? If so, PatriceJ has stated before to skip the email and come directly to the board. Make a shortcut to www.quiltingboard.com on your desktop, make www.quiltingboard.com a favorite in your browser, or make www.quiltingboard.com your homepage. Using the link in the email creates a false/positive virus warning.

    I am having the same issue but it is random. Sometimes I don't even have to sign in. I am not using email as I messed that up some time ago so I just have QB bookmarked and use that. I also use Firefox, Avast and Yahoo.

    I've been getting a similar message. I think that there is a hacker who is posting ad links that are unsafe.
