    OpenDNS have flagged boards.ie as a phishing threat for the last hour or so. I am with Three 'Midband'.

    Normally, I put it down to an OpenDNS hiccup and reset the router. I have reset the router three times now and performed a flush/reset of the DNS cache, in Windows.

    The same problem persists. A new ip each time too, just to add.

    OpenDNS definitions of malicious actrivity can be a bit loose, God knows what they define as phishing..

    Just a heads up.

    Boards.ie was being false flagged by OpenDNS as a phishing site on Saturday, but was thankfully resolved (thanks in part to users tweeting at OpenDNS and submitting reports) on Sunday.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
