No problems here. I use Chrome for Ubuntu Linux for my general web browsing, including the Escapist.

Is anyone else using Chrome getting the same message?
How are you calling the site? I don't use Chrome, but in the past I've noticed with some websites if I just called right into the forums (by a favorites tag) or something like that it would set off warnings, where if I called in to the home page and then when to the forums it would be fine.

Why this is I have no idea (not all that computer literate nowadays), but I have noticed it.

Perhaps it's the way one of the ads here is working isn't liked when you call a page displaying it directly or something. That's a wild guess though.

I appreciate your help mate, but I fixed it. I just had to clear the cache.

This website can be harmful. I'm about to come up on two years of visiting this website at least once a week and I just can't stop...

I've actually seen a few threads about this. Quite a curious case indeed.

Yeah, I got a warning saying: "Psssst, they're secretly evil. Also, Eric says to close your curtains." Does anybody know what it means?

EDIT: Thanks to NewClassic, I have sorted the problem. I just needed to clear my cache out. Thanks to all who posted.
Wow I was actually considering making a thread on this cause it was starting to concern me. I got it a lot last week but haven't had it in a couple days. Weird...
