No, the clock issue wasn't fixed as ML posted after you, dk, and her post appears above yours.... I was experiencing the post timing issue well after 3:00.

Google has removed the site from the malware list and we're no longer seeing the warning from any browser. Thanks everyone for your patience.

Looking at the incoming posts, we're not seeing any global post time issues. I'm not sure why this would still be happening for a handful of users. Hopefully it is a local caching issue. If it continues, please PM me and I'll see if I can track down another source of the issue. But since we clearly found 3 servers with the wrong time and corrected, I feel fairly certain we resolved this issue and it is just taking time to take effect for some users.

Please don't hesitate to PM me, however, if you are still experiencing the issue.

I am going to guess that the Malware warnings that I saw this afternoon and evening were related to this new Campus Vibe warning across the banner. Additionally, there is an extremely annoying McDonald's ad peeling down the upper right hand corner of the page every five seconds or so. Am hoping this is a temporary problem that will soon be fixed as it is amazingly distracting.

A CC friend emailed me today because she's having trouble posting, sending a PM and starting a thread. This was her message:
Like many others, I have had problems with logging on to CC, including a warning about malware.

"Today, I managed to send one PM but not I get the message that I need to wait 60 seconds to send another one, even 30 minutes after sending the first.

The site also tells me I have to wait 60 seconds before posting again, when I have not posted at all. I tried to post, but it did not appear as a thread."

I guess the CC administrators finally got the message that annoying ads do not encourage viewers to frequent the site. The ad is gone and I have no ad blockers.

I wonder if that ad was causing the timing and posting order issues that have been going on for a day or so.

Hopefully a CC admin with issue an update----and an apology.

I just received a private message from a CC poster who read my post above - they too are having the same problem as my friend - they cannot post or start a thread. Or respond to PM's. (Not sure how the PM got to me, though...)
