My Malwarbytes is blocking some information on this sit mostly images (including avatars), and is showing us.v-cdn.net as a cyber threat.  Anyone else getting this?  Advice on what to do?
Thanks.

    This is a screen shot that shows what I can see on this site today.  As you can see, it shows no avatars (including my own).  My Malwarebytes pops up and says, "Malware url: us.v-cdn.net" and "Potentially malicious activity has been blocked. However, you can still safely continue to view this site while using Browser Guard."

    Edit: Also, I can only see thee screenshot image I posted here if I click on "edit", otherwise, I don't see it.  What the heck??

    Another interesting thing is I can see a few avatars but only of people I've never heard of and are probably no longer here.  No images, and no active avatars.  I'm guessing the only way to get them back is to turn off my Malwarebytes and put my computer at risk.. No way!  This sucks. 

    P.S.  Logging out and logging back in did not help.


    Any idea what's up with this and how to remedy it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Well, things seem back to normal.
    Computers/smart phones... can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em (but it would be interesting to try).

    Looks like they are doing more site updates. If you look at post dates now, it has changed.

    Can you adjust the brightness on your screen?

    Yeah... I was just meaning it's such a bright background when you enter. Most places have a "not so in your face surprise to the eyes" when you visit. I lower the brightness.. All good my man, silly stuff.

    That's cool.  We need a little silly stuff now and then. :plus_one:

    I’m going to close this thread because it was originally about a technical issue involving Malwarebytes and Vanilla Forums. That issue was resolved.

    Please see this discussion thread about broken discussion links: https://community.pearljam.com/discussion/306834/broken-threads-discussions#latest

    Thanks
