I'm on about 15 forums for woodworking, CNC, photography, acoustic guitar building, etc. and have no issues with any of them... except here.  Every time I look at a thread/post I get a notification that I am on a suspicious web page (I never close the tabs, all of them are open 24/7).

Also, when I post a video like I did in the French polishing thread the videos look like this on my computer - 

So... what's going on?  I've tried all the geek stuff - clearing cache, cookies, disabling extensions, etc. to no avail.

 

send me the YT video link in a message. Insert it as a link rather than embedding it as a video.

Any video I post does the same (here and here only).  There's no specific video and given the suspicious notification I get each time I come here tells me there's something with the way the forum is set up.  Wood Talk Online uses the same software and I don't get the notification there plus videos I upload show properly (to me).

Gonna bump this- @John Morris

Can you add our site to Exceptions?

Seems like I tried that but I'll check again.  

Btw, I get the same results when switching browsers - Brave is my default but I also tried it in Edge and Chrome.  That tells me it's something to do with my computer.  My computer is fairly new (couple of months) - i9 14900k processor, ASUS Z790-Pro motherboard, 32GB DDR5 RAM, several terabytes of M.2 on several drives, Windows 11 Pro, Bitdefender AV - no slouch of a machine.

 

It just seems odd to me that this site is the only one across three browsers that videos show this way and that I get the suspicious site notification on.  Maybe it's my computer - who knows??? 

 

As I stated earlier, on my iPhone the videos look fine.  If they are showing properly for y'all then I guess that's good 'nuff.  I'm a geek and take some degree of pleasure in diving into things like this but honestly, recovering from back surgery is enough of a challenge for now. 🤪

I didn't ask, but, what would happen if you disabled the Bitdefender  antivirus and any script blockers and try to post again. Also, if Edge and Chrome imported security setting s from Brave, that may be a place to start checking.

Unfortunately, that's the first thing I tried.  There's another way I can try it, though.  Still seems odd that this is the only forum where I see the notification messages and that videos don't show properly (not just the ones I post, some of the ones y'all post don't show up correctly, either).

Just for craps and giggles, you could try to add a custom rule to the Windows firewall.

Except that I use my router in addition to Bitdefender for firewall.  Good idea, though. 

Is your router and modem an "all-in-one"?

No sir, separate devices.  Modem is AT&T gig fiber, router is a high-end Netgear.  Both have worked flawlessly for a long time (years) and this issue presented itself here recently, a couple of months after firing up the new computer.

@difalkner, I've reached out to our software developer community to see if it's anything we can do on our end, should hear back end of day.

Hopefully, it's something simple - either on your end or mine but it's a bit frustrating to have been posting videos for several years now and all of a sudden they don't show up properly for me.  Thanks, John and Lew!

I'd try a CAT 6 cable directly from the computer into the modem- temporarily bypassing your router. See if it works. Could eliminate one firewall.

Are you using Duck Duck Go?

 Had the same problem a couple of weeks ago right after the December W11 update, lasted about 3-4 hours then went away. 

@difalkner

 

If I remember correctly, I rebooted the modem/router then things were back to Abby-Normal. 

Everything I can find refers to Bitdefender. 

 

Looks like a false trigger
