To JGeoff: My Norton software notified me of a 'security threat' on Gangster BB site; however after 8yrs I decided it's safe to logon anyway. Could have something to do with your recent upgrade, I don't know. For your info, below is the notification I got when clicking for more detail on the threat: Here is a complete list: (for more information about a specific threat, click on the Threat Name below) Threat Name: MSIE ADODB.Stream Object File Installation Weakness Location: http://www.gangsterbb.net/threads/ubbthreads.php
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.

Would everyone having this issue please use Windows Update and apply all security patches and let me know if that clears up the issue on your end?

I'm not getting the problem message anymore from Norton!!
After Windows Update, or just all of a sudden? Because I still don't know any cause... Besides Windows Update, the only other solution would be to delete that resource-hog called Norton and just use Windows Security Essentials from Microsoft (free)  Great, some lag now

I think there's a "fix" in Windows that prevents the security issue -- maybe the right one got installed.
PS - Always keep Windows updated! Start it before you go to bed if you have to...
