My Apple iPad is ok with it. I’ve used the site for over 2years and there is none of that being inundated with medical ads or anything. I once logged on in a hotel and got a similar message.

Google your question. There’s a lot to read.

Good morning, I suggest you get in contact with Health Unlocked who host PMR/GCAUK instead of shouting in capitals at the users.

I don't know about that, but I am finding that I can't link directly from an email. I use Google Chrome.

Update - that was obviously a problem for yesterday. I can link now.

Sorry, spoke too soon. The problem is back - I can't link directly from gmail.

I couldn't the end of last week and over the weekend and emailed the Help desk - it is a problem that is associated with having AdBloc+ which is blocking the add-ons all of a sudden. They will try to remedy it if they can. The answer is to disable AdBloc+ for this site alone - click on the icon and it offers you a menu.

Thanks for letting me know this. However I've switched off ad blocker but the link from the email still doesn't work. I don't really mind because I tend to go to Health Unlocked direct every morning, but it might deter some people. Anyway as they know about it, they'll probably fix it soon.

Might be something different though - scroll to the bottom of the screen and there is Help Centre under Support on the right of the black strap. email and make sure you click to send anyway because their options didn't help (they never do!).

They didn't sound hopeful about a fix - there were limited options from their side I think. I can't manage it from the site - there are too many notifications and I would only see the first 50!!!!

Dunno why my setup is working OK - AdBloc has been active all the time

Maybe a set of things and that is the final straw - it was what was causing the Help Deck person's own problems and it sorted out mine.

But when you have a problem - report it directly to the site management using the Support facility. The report box on each post goes to PMRGCA moderators to deal with so it is more helpful to go straight to HU for this.

I disabled Ad block for the Health Unlimited site yesterday and it has made no difference. I use Google Chrome and still can;t access my daily emails from HU. Not happy!

I had the same problem with chrome and it was causing issues with several sites. After reloading chrome several times and it generally being a pain with freezing and the like I changed to Opera and low and behold, no more issues. I have opened this site directly from the email this morning without a problem.

Me neither. And the url starts with https. Site is secure, has a valid certificate and when I viewed info (click the little lock) says it's using 27 cookies!

in reply to HeronNS

Ah! Cookies! Dominate the Telly here! Boring stuff that is! Could be Russian! We never know on internet do we!

But I guess there's a lot we'd miss if we didn't allow cookies. I think they get cleaned up periodically by our security systems don't they?

I have not had any problems with my Apple l pad,although yesterday l was unable to read some posts apparently because my ‘server was not working properly’ it seems to be OK now.

I haven't had any such message from my security stuff (there's enough of it). If your own security is OK it shouldn't matter. The usual reason is that the site hasn't paid its dues...
