    I'm not sure how serious this is, if at all.

    For search purposes the text is:

    I've only had this alert appear when accessing thread t=1260 [Sticky: The next person that does "Looking for" topics in the HP Story Search subforum]. I've tried a few other threads and they seem to open without a problem. I've tried opening thread t=1260 several times in the past 20 minutes and the alert continues to appear. Clicking "proceed anyway" works to bypass the alert.

    I have my thread view set to see 50 posts per page and SSL is turned on.

    Win 7 64-bit
    Chrome 16.0.912.77 m

    Mors, are you viewing 50 posts/page? Try clicking through to the 2nd page of the thread.

    I opened the thread in Incognito mode [default 20 posts/page], and the alert only appeared on the 2nd page [ie. posts 21 - 40].

    edit: Yes, I think that's it Krzaq. The image is just hosted on a dodgy domain. I'm unable to trigger the warning when viewing that post alone, but I'm pretty sure it's the cause of the error. edit 2: Yes, it's that pic causing it.

    Yup, when I click on KrzaQ's link, it does the same thing to me.

    Confirmed. I run 100 posts per page and krazq's link popped up the warning. That's why everyone should be using imgur to host images.
