Websense

Does anyone else have this blocking certain parts of the Forum ?
It's classed as Web Chat and networking sites.
Can the forum be changed reclassified ?


EG
I can read threads in Racing but can only see Topics in other parts
It's damn annoying

You don't say whether you are using a work computer, if you are it would be your employers who use Websense to monitor and block users access to 'unauthorised' sites. If this is the case there is nothing you can do about it.

Any way to get round it by using logmein/gotomypc linked to your home computer?

 

[Downward]

Yes it is work
A lot of Public Sector are going to it.
Pain in the ass.

Have you tried the other domain name www.cycle-cafe.net, which was originally introduced to try and get round this problem...

 

[ColinJ]

Use the alternative name for CycleChat?

Curses - beaten to it again!

 

[Downward]

Yes Thanks User posted it in Site Feedback.

Problem at work was I didn't know if my post had been submitted as it kept blocking me.

 

[Downward]

Other address won't work - When I come to Log In it comes up Web Chat.

I can get into some threads but not all
EG on Commmuting I can get into some but it blocks others

Are you sure this isn't a Cookie issue.

Try using this link to delete your cookie and log back in again.

Any better?

Cheers,
Shaun

Public Sector internet access is notoriously tetchy. If 'Websense' is blocking only certain threads then it may well be using keyword blocking among other techniques. Probably no way around it TBH; unless you can talk nicely to your IT department which is almost certainly going to end in a negative response.

Hmm yeah I already got them to unblock Vechiles and IT though !
