Thanks all.

    If I click on this thread
    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=107622504

    either on the front page, the Genenalogy forum or through a poster's history, I get the following warning on a scary red page:

    Deceptive site ahead
    Attackers on raptr.com may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing your personal information (for example, passwords, phone numbers, or credit cards). Learn more

    Automatically send some system information and page content to Google to help detect dangerous apps and sites. Privacy policy

    If I click on details, I get
    Google Safe Browsing recently detected phishing on raptr.com. Phishing sites pretend to be other websites to trick you.

    You can report a detection problem or, if you understand the risks to your security, visit this unsafe site.

    Only happens on that thread.
    Wondering is it maybe an advert is setting it off? I have adverts disabled.

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.
